Fingers crossed this one hits the UK shores at some point.
A thought though...
DeAg really could have made this kit available with far fewer issues if they hadn't included umpteen small rescue vehicles as well.
Don't get me wrong - they are a great little set but I can't help wondering how many will be put in a box and stuck in a cupboard due to the simple logistics of display.
TB2, TB4, FAB 1, the Mole and Firefly. Even those will take up a fair space.
Where will the other 20 or so vehicles go?
Roy.

I Really hope this comes out in the UK, though its nearly a year since its been out in Japan. I am currently building there M.Falcon, enjoying that very much.

This is the very expensive Takara TB2 in kit form.I got one a few years ago, its been out of production for a good few years, for £500. It was a super model, rather lightweight for it's size. The up and down motion broke fairly soon, stripped it down to find a broken gear, managed to fix it it and sold it on at a loss.Some of the vehicles are RC. Look on YouTube for vids of it all working. They still command big money on ebay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AEk1jg0ODY

Roy. And in the same tone would be the moaners that say "why could we not have other rescue vehicles" had they not been provided. It's impossible to please everyone...

I can understand that.
Although TB2 is the 'main' bit I would want, I'll still be chasing it if we get in the UK.
The magazines alone are a must-have for any Gerry Anderson fans.
