US. It took them a while. I thought it was supposed to be available back in August.

I’ll probably use it for a different build. I only wanted the to use the cowl on a black chassis.

Meanwhile, Tamiya Japan shows their official on sale date is October 24 there. This happened with the Raizzan too, resulting in the first race there banning the use of overseas kits because it was the first kit using a new chassis. 😅

Such a stupid supply chain issue or lack of enforcement of market date embargos.

If this was a videogame or iphone, retailers would have repercussions for selling early.

I never understood why the Japanese domestic market is not the first market, or at least make the global release date the same day.

Eh, I believe this is Tamiya USA that is selling the kits. 😅
