Recently, I've been venting about the price tag of the upcoming Isuzu Erga buses, also from the TLV(NEO) series. Currently, the MSRP of these March(2017) releases are set at roughly $98, and the preorder price I've seen at $70, before shipping.
It's beautiful. I have very little doubt that these things will be the best 1/64 scaled buses ever. However, I have observed TLV collectors opinion split on the $70 preorder price tag. Sure, some were unfazed by it, but many collectors were in for quite a sticker shock, myself included.
Collectors who know me, they know how much I love TLV buses. I've even paid $100 for one of those older, coveted buses. But $70 + shipping for preorder on a upcoming release? Until this point, I've said "no", I won't be getting this. Right at this moment? I'm on the fence. I do have this blog, and however small, I do have people checking stuff out everyday. We'll see.
- Rant Over -
So this bus, I paid $60, and that includes the shipping. Before start going "OMG, that's only $10 difference, stop being such a drama queen!"(lol), the bus itself was $47. It's a old, rare & coveted bus at that. :D Okay, pics:
For me, old Hino buses beats all others. :D
