Global Scale Modeller

Can I get them from in the U.S.A.??? Are they outlawed or something? Did they not go through proper immigration checks??

Okay the last one was a bit stupid... but why can I not buy these here? The closest I found was in Canada, which is okay, but would like to not have to pay a ton for shipping to get them here. I asked the guy at Hobbytown, said he would check into it and every time I go back he just tells me he hasn't got an answer from their distributor, my other LHS (that is just models) says that he can't order them, they're there on the manifest of where he orders from, he just can't select any to actually have them shipped.

Anyway, if someone has the secret decoder ring or knows how to get a hold of Scooby and the gang, I would appreciate this mystery being solved.

My LHS has a decent supply up here in Canada...weird you are having trouble in the good ole USA
Paul has a ton on the Ultimate web site

Yeah, that's why I'm asking - because I could order from anywhere, except here. And no shops have it either, none, not even online shops or retailers... it's just weird - it's been out for quite some time now and I would like to get it. I thought about Ultimate and ordering their "Complete Set" - you know, one of each bottle. While that is expensive, it would get me some!! But the shipping would have to be pretty high too, which would add to the cost. I dunno, it's just strange, can't figure out why no one in 'Merica has it.

Got to be a labelling issue, we get it with certain Tamiya products.

Maybe, I guess... i can understand them not being available in California, that state has been run by loonies for far too long. I just don't get why the rest of the US doesn't have them?? Literally no where in a store, or online, are they available. I have been to 5 other states (Texas, Missouri, Florida, Louisiana, and Kansas) and went to hobby shops - they don't have them either.

I just find it weird, but I bet you're right, probably something on the label that just needs reworded or a sticker over.

I'll probably just order some as I really wanted to do my next kit with them.

It will be import labelling or what they contain, US import laws, customs or whatever have either banned something in them or they haven't tested it as yet so no licence.

Sorry if this posts twice...dunno what's goin on with my server, browser, or whatever...but have you tried contacting Tamiya USA...? If anyone might know what's goin on it's them.

Good luck
