King Tiger on EBAY??

[lancelot]

Meritline, a Chinese toy company is coming out with a 1/18 RC KT for around $69.

Don't tell anyone, it is a secret but I heard it from a guy who should know. Let's keep it to ourselves.

Don't tell anyone, especially whoever just spent $1500 on this KT.

lol wut plz? are you sure it's not 1/16? where did you get that information. I've never wanted to be more wrong about my personal opinions before.

[aferguson]

are you serious TTT or is this a premature April Fool's joke?

However, even if you are serious, Meritline is that company that make the '1/18' Leopard tank which is actually about 1/27, so i wouldn't be full of optimism anyway.

But, the price would suggest it is much larger than the leopard. Maybe they got a hold of the 21c KT molds somehow. I guess we will know if it happens..

It seems to be a rumor, I can't verify something told to me in confidence, but I am not holding my breath, especially with the news that a tank they are advertising is a 1/18 is actually a 1/27.

We shall see.

Any one know what happened to the 1:18 King Tiger, like who bought it?

[Threetoughtrucks]

Some one with a lot of tink to spend on toys. Not your average bear.

Unless I hit the Lotto, I would not spend that much on a 1/18 anything, now if it was a 1/6 KT, that would be a bargain to brag about..... But that is me.

Someone with very deep pockets and no responsibilities is my guess.

Side note, I have been watching the auctions from "iluvnfl" since the KT proto listing.
Some rare and unreleased items have come up. At the moment a 1/6 Eastern Front Kubel and the Ultra rare (in box) Villains Urban Assault vehicle. Bummer she does not offer International shipping on her larger items or I would have a bid.

i wonder where she's getting all this stuff. She barely knows anything about it.
