Holy crap I think this kit has just become super popular in Japan. I went onto HLJ to check the status of other items I have on order. Issue 4 of this kit, which I had pre-ordered, is now listed as on back order, and issue 5 shows now, but its also listed on back order. Hopefully that means good things for this kit coming to the UK and US.

That's pretty cool. Right now I am trying to get the money together to get my kid the Meccano Robot kit. Never had erector sets as a kid so totally all about buying them for my kid to play with. Of course he will probably need some "help".

You bet  they need LOTS of grown up help when it comes to things like this, and as grown ups its nice to be able to help  . I think i have bought more models on the basis "my nephew will like that one" than i dare admit too. The train set i bought him he did not like "what a shame as i had to keep it". Joking aside though it is great to see that meccano is still going after all these years. Happy Modelling

As an add-on...
Soon, but not TOO soon.
I've recently signed up for the Shelby, and still have vague hopes the BTTF DeLorean may reappear...
I'll be skint with all these great models - but a nice way to end up skint.
Now - where are my Thunderbirds DVD's ... 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 ......

Sorry my build of this was put on hold due to lack of funds. Had to put quite a bit of my hobbies on hold including my DeAg falcon build as well. Right now the only thing I am working on are Gundam kits I have already acquired that I don't plan to paint. Can't even afford paint right now.
