Ultima Worlds Spec

[pma1123]

At initial pre-order for the Ultima Worlds/USA 20th anniversary kit; A-main said Nov 24 ETA.
Yesterday I saw 2 kits on Ebay available from a Taiwan vendor.
Anyone else looking forward to building this one?

I am trying to resist. I like it a lot as a basis for a "close enough" Turbo Ultima replica. If I were buying a kit today, this would certainly be it.

Whether I get it or not is really up to Schumacher. There are hints of a Cougar 2 re-re...

Tamico just announced (per e-mail to pre-order customers) that Kyosho Europe informed them the WC editions are delayed until January. They were originally expected end of November.

Haven't seen an email and I'm not saying you're wrong.
My pre-order changed from "awaiting stock" on A Main today, to shipping 12/2. On their website Ultima WC 87 is showing in stock for order.
Kyosho america website says they are also in stock for ordering.
Multiple auctions for them going on ebay right now too.

@pma1123 I've seen them in stock in Asia as well. It looks to be a Kyosho Europe issue; they also confirmed the shipment is 'still out at sea'.

Ever been in the middle of a project, when a much cooler project shows up?

Definitely will post up the details as I get this on the bench!
