Re: Coolbank Crusader Mk III
You guys are getting Canadian style prices. My commiserations. It's always been an expensive hobby for anyone outside of the US

Re: Coolbank Crusader Mk III
Given the current - stupid, IMHO opinion - trump tariff scheme, you'll be lucky to see anything coming from China due to the complexity & inherent costs in handling low value B-C low cargo.tankme wrote: ↑Thu Apr 24, 2025 11:55 pm Mine has been pending shipping from the Coolbank Ali site for a week now. Who knows if I'll ever get is as they have removed the tank from their inventory. I would guess they are sold out. There is another Ali vendor trying to sell this thing for $689 and won't ship to the US.
Hong Kong Post will no longer handle parcels as of 30 April. DHL announced an immediate cessation of handling cargo. UPS & FedEx still are in the business but charging surcharges until CBS gets their act together on automated billing.

I keep looking at this crusader thinking should I buy one. But then I think I already have the Ludwig one so I don’t really need this variant
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Re: Coolbank Crusader Mk III
Panzermechaniker: "It's always been an expensive hobby for anyone outside of the US." I recall well the unfortunate and familiar phrase "Slightly higher in Canada." Nonetheless, this hobby has never been inexpensive in the U.S. and now it's going to be a lot more expensive. I want a Crusader Mk III but given uncertainty about availability, cost, and shipping is making the outlook really bleak.
