    $550 is a little expensive. Hobby Link Japan has them for $435.00 before shipping and they are a retail outlet.

    Yea, and they don't advertise on Ferrarichat without paying to be a sponsor.

    Correct, but trust me there will be price adjustments when their stocks arrive.

    When I first place my order, they told me retail price was approx US$ 435.00....but when I paid for them...it was much more !

    And for your info in the UK...some shops are asking British pounds 499.00 !!!

    But please also take note that I include free shipping for the price which is not a cheap option as it is by air and the cost of shipping for such a big item not to mention it's heavy is very expensive !

    I am not a shop or dealer...but just bought extra sets as I feel this is a really nice model / kit to invest in as Tamiya already announced limited production numbers for this item !

    I have one coming for myself as well. But I wonder what limited numbers and collectible really mean? Take the case of Tamiya's F50. Tamiya re-issued this model (in semi-assembled form) in Red and Yellow which forced the prices down on the orginal issue of th model.

    I've heard from one shop they only made 399 of the Enzo to coincide with the numbers of the real one. I find this hard to believe because I imagine the tooling to produce this model can't be cheap!

    Does anyone know how many Tamiya's going or already made of the Enzo?

    I only buy what I like, not for investment. If it goes up in price on the secondary market then that's a bonus to me!

    Tamiya had to recall the first issue because the paint color was wrong shade of red. Check the first issue vs. the 2nd issue, 2nd issue has more correct shade. Tamiya was pretty pissed off having to recall and destroy them.

    What is a reasonable price for the F50 1/12 scale? I saw one locally a few days for about $100.

    Best price I can find is $469 on pre-orders at e-hobby. Don't know if it will get cheaper. As far as I am aware, no one in the US has it yet..

    If only 300 are going to be made, I guess dealers can ask whatever price they want....and some of them actually get it...

    Nice model, but being semi-assembled might take some of the fun out of it.
