If you dare, Hooben has a deal that can't be beat - a Tiger I for only $68, including shipping! For US customers only, but check out the "half-price" page for deals in other countries too

See my earlier post for thoughts on the quality & a photo of the one I received... seems to be brand-new, with no issues whatsoever... it will be a great tank to upgrade & experiment

How can we lose on a deal like this? ;)

Gotta admit I pretty much expected this one to be a lemon right out of the box, but all functions check out & it hasn't fallen apart in my hands yet :haha:

I'd still be in disbelief that such a price is even possible on any new RTR 1/16 tank, if not for the fact that it's sitting right here in front of me, laughing at the price of the Tamiya Tiger on the shelf next to it... I guess I've got both ends of the spectrum covered there!

Glad you guys grabbed one while you can... I think they probably make a handful available from time to time at that price... I've had mine for about 2 or 3 months now.
