Hi everyone.
The first issue came out in greece about a week ago and i rushed to buy it - and every next will come on a two week basis (2 issues per month). This means that i would have to wait 2 and a half years to complete the car. NO WAY.
Then i started to calculate the total cost - and came up with about 700 Euro - by the way - what is the cost in other countries?
So i started to search the internet and found out something quite interresting. The car offered by DeAgostini is discontinued by Kyosho, they replaced it with the model Kyosho PureTen Alpha Mk.III that features a larger engine (2,5 cc instead of 2,1 cc), oil shocks and a better exhaust system. A complete model can be purchased for as much as 199 Euro. Add another 39 for a 2-speed automatic gearbox and you are at 239 ? Yep. Somewhat less than DeAgostini charges you.
Well, i decided to buy the model right away, have my fun now (not in 2 1/2 years) and pay one third of the price.
If anyone is intrrested, here is the link to the seller
