Updated list as of 3/5/2008! http://kyoshousa.com/New_Folder/kyosho.pdf Notice how ALL the new releses are "pre sold out". It looks like all have been bought up by stores already! From what I have read on another board, they are making one big batch that will be shipped out. And that will be all. Remember this is the last year they can make many kinds of Ferrari models.
Phew! Just pre-ordered the Red GTO, Red F40 Light weight and Red 2nd stage Testarossa. The waiting will be painful!
I pre-ordered with diecast legends here in the UK: http://www.grandprixlegends.com/DieCastSite/D%5FRoadCars%5FI%5FFerrari%5FKyosho%28DieCast%29/ I have nothing whatsoever to do with this website and this is not an advert but I have ordered with them before and they seem pretty good. I think Kyosho prices are much cheaper in the USA though!
Cheaper, in most cases yes. But remember alot of these new ones went up in price. I bought a red F40 about a year ago. The MSRP was $90. The upcoming red F40 "Light Weight" has a MSRP of $118. So they are more expensive now.
I will never understand - and I'm in the mass-production injection moulding industry - what this ' limited ', 'pre-sold-out ' B&llS%&t tries to achieve. They want to earn money, there's an immensely expensive tooling already available. Manufacturing bigger quantities is easy. But telling us something about limited or pre-sold-out will just promote initial pre orders. Best Regards from Germany Martin
Well as far as I know due to the license issues, they are not permitted to make another large run. All "pre sold out" means is that their (USA distributor) stock is already spoken for by stores.
