Hey all, the new Tainan Zero is up for pre-order at Burbank's House of Hobbies for $55.99. This is the best price I personally have found, though there may be better out there. This is the guy who sold the new BBI desert Bf-109 for half of what BCA did for a short while. Great guy to work with.

Thought I would post in case someone was interested.

That is a good price for the Zero - and he sold the BBI Bf-109 for cheap? I have ordered from this company before (the MRC 1:72 scale Stryker IFV). I will vouch that this is a good business. Those of you in California and the west coast will have cheaper shipping charges, obviously

Yeah, evidently he had a handful of the BBI Me-109 and sold them for $35 each untill he sold out, which took only about an hour or maybe less. Talking to him, he said he had never sold like that before. He is a good guy to deal with.

Good price. I converted my order for some Solomon's Zeke's over to Sakai's at MTS. Sure wish I'd new about Burbank's deal on the 109...sweet deal!

At that price he was selling them for significantly less than cost. Clearly, the price was dropped either as a loss leader or to liquidate inventory to raise cash. While members here may enjoy that, it does not bode well for sustainability of the hobby if you know what i mean.
