Just got back from HobbyTown USA and.....

There selection is lacking in the auto department. They do have some models i want to get but they are way over priced!! A tamiya 1:24 will run you $20- $41 bucks!! Thay have like six times more military models than car models. I geuss Hobby people is up next on the list.

~$30 is almost reasonable for the older Tamiya kits that may be hard to find.
$40 is only the price of the new Ferrari models, because Ferrari makes Tamiya put the Ferrari license tag on the box, so you really are paying for the tag. :rolleyes:

If that's not what you saw, then they were way overpriced.

Hobby People should have Tamiya road cars for $15-$23 and race cars for $25-$30. Some will seem like much better deals than others.

$20 is about right.

We have almost all Tamiya kits in local store
and relatively new kits are quite expensive: I've bought Mercedes CLK DTM for $30. Supra and Boxter ~ $25.
Older kits much cheaper, around $16-$19
and only 360 Modena is for $40 as you're noticed
You really can get these models cheaper in e-stores but shipping charges... finally it will be probably the same price
