Valentino Rossi - Hobby shop that sell cheap

nconceic · 06-28-2002, 03:24 AM

Hi
I'd like to buy the new kit from Italeri, it's the HRC truck with Valentino Rossi bike included. It's the 3810 model.
But this one it's to expensive in Portugal, were I live (it cost round about 120€). So I'd like to if anyone knows an italian site (it could be other country, but I think since it's home country of Italeri, it could be cheaper) were I can order that item for lower prices.
Thanks.

Another Portuguese :flash: , welcome to AF.
I saw that model in my local hobby store (in Braga). I will try to know the price there (maybe this week or next...).

I could try to find out the prices here next week (shouldn't be too steep). Tell me what you consider too high.

I have done a quick search on web, and look like the price of this model is very high.... 75$US to 100$US....

Well Ales, I was expecting to find this item in some store in Italy, with prices round about 70/80 Euros. I think that is a fair price for the model in is production country.
Thank you for your help.

This is one of those good news - bad news things

Good news - if ordered, it would cost around 55 Euro here.

Bad news - the order is going tomorrow and the guy said that he can't order it anymore this time (especially since he can only order a whole box that has 4 models and he thinks that the other three won't be sold). Can you find 4 ppl who want the ki by tomorrow morning?

On the other hand, there'll be another order around Christmas... Sry I couldn't help more.

I don't think so. I don't know anyone else that have this hobby.
So, thanks any way.

€ 55,- is pretty cheap, A hobby shop sold one here at the price of € 90,- almost bought it.. but if we are talking of the same kit, count me up for 1 (if not, still count me up for 1

), that's 2 to go

It's the kit that includes the truck, the trailer in Nostro Azurro colours and a preassembled bike (not the Heller kit that I'm getting when it gets here).

Wishmaster · 07-01-2002, 12:06 PM

But what is left to build and how big will it be...?? in other words, is it worth it's money..?

ales · 07-01-2002, 12:21 PM

You build the truck and the trailer and it's well, BIG!!!!

I think it's worth the money, but I'm a Max Biaggi fan

I think we all would be better off if we wait until Chrismas - I'm sure you have a lot of projects to build before that

Wishmaster · 07-01-2002, 12:24 PM

Just 7 models waiting...
and now it's summer holiday....
Hope that I have enough, but you'll probably right, better to wait till christmas..

Only the bike is already assembled. The truck is all to assemble. About the size is a 1/24 scale, so terms of cm is round about 60 cm. I think that this kit have the biggest decalc ever made.
