I got mine from a guy on ebay - he's on Tamiya Club and as a day job runs a supercar hire firm. This kinda made me feel it was probably good for the purchase

He has one left I think - good guy to deal with too.

Buying from Hong Kong isn't usually a problem - Stella Models are sold out though. However, if you get caught by customs, it can add just as much again to make it not worth importing.

I had a tamiya blackfoot when i was a kid, loved building it as much as playing with it.
Just bought this for my sons christmas, it seems like a nice buggy.
