For real! How much is this in USD?

lhlcllllx97 Author
The corresponding US dollar price should be $9.3, which is the pre-sale price on Taobao in China. Pre-sales start around May, and the non-pre-sale price is ￥128, about $17.5. It may be a little more expensive in the United States due to taxes.

Unbelievable!
Such a dream price for class A model.

FernandoCouto
It rises to ￥128 now!

I wish I could find this on Temu today 😄, because Temu is imo 99 if not 100% bullshit when it comes to selling scale models. Overpriced, and old, uninteresting models. Some stuff sell at 3-4-5 times the selling price locally. I had to give up Ebay because of how sellers and ebay blamed eachother, unable to prevent double VAT payment. Amazon is typically just too expensive. My bank didn't allow me to buy from this one Hong Kong hobby store anymore. I did find an ok priced Border Models 1:35 Spifire on Temu recently, but I didn't like this particular Border Models kit. Most of this stuff are just kids toys, paper and thin metal models and some cast metal stuff. 99,9% uninteresting to me.

I forgot to add, so many scam sales on eBay (in the past some 2 years ago or so). I had some 10 orders that were apparently just bullshit. Luckily I got my money back, except for the currency conversion fees, that were lost. It is simply not possible to spot a scam seller on eBay now imo. 10 time in just a few months, postal service end up telling me, these kits (individually) were returned to seller. Everything else off eBay arrived normally. I used to warn eBay, by reporting obviosuly scam sales, but eBay turned off my reporting ability after a while it seemed.

I mention this now, because I do see now on eBay, they are selling several kits of this Tiger Model Tiger tank kit.

i bought this on temu for 28 euro and its a great beginners kit i bought it for the decal sheet but the build was surprisingly satisfying and yes mold on tools but with some in deep weathering etc you can give it more dimension to it

Nice deal. I gave them the finger the other day and closed my account, making sure to point out that their scale model kit sellers are apparent scammers, with some kits being sold at x4 x5 time the expected retail price.

@Trez What was wrong with the kit?

herbert otto gille
@trez YOU ARE TALIKING pure bshit .... i built it as my 208th tiger 1 its a nice beginners kit and i bought it for the decals and it builds up very nice , and easy ...... so maybe you should go back to build lego or something like that

Bob Hall
Not the first one, Tim will nip it in the bud shortly, especially for a disrespectful Noob that's been here only 4 months. Hell go the way of the Dodo soon enough !

You got up in the middle of the night to reply so actively. I think you must be deeply touched by this kit,That's amazing. 😘but I didn't see you build this one. We are all still waiting for your build!😂

Think about why people who oppose you get more likes, but you get none? Is it because you talking bshit?😂 But think about it, it is bshit, because I opened this thread to talk about prices and you are here decide to be a 🤡👈🤣🤣

@ IhicIIIIx97 / just let it be or delete the thread, he's already proven Mark Twains quote "Is better to thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt" ! But as it stands Trez is like the Special Olympics, he likes to run around and make snide comments and laugh and think he's funny, but at the end of the day, he's still retarded. I spent 25 years as an Army MP and the last 10 as a Texas State Trooper and I've seen clown shows like this every day. So just let him sit in his mom's basement with his hot pocket and Red Bull playing Call of Duty and live in his little fantasy world ! 🎤⬇️

@Bob Hall thank you for your service

Kesa Tiho
Fuck you Trez, even though Bob isn't even from the same continent as me I still respect him and yet you come here and insult him. Seriously what the fuck is with you?
Giving constructive criticism is okay but calling someones kits a mess is just plain rude.
Maybe you yourself should actually do something productive instead of insulting people and offering "help".

Bob Hall
Oh, your slipping, you forgot to pad your make believe military career on that post, oh do tell us how you got the Victoria Cross be single handedly para jumping into a hot zone and killing 50 men in your spectacular SAS mission there 007 ! Real soldier don't have to brag about their career, yet you always have to slip some great accomplishments in. Benny Hill was a better soldier than you I would purpose ! Or was it just the Salvation Army you were in high command of ? 🙄 oh and tell your mom hi from me ! 👍
