ToyEast has completely sold out of the Super Perfection III ?
Now I know TE stocks large quantities of merchandise, especially something new to the market, but they sold out in less than 2 weeks!
These SuperP3's are hot as hell right now! And the only Super P1's they have left are the CDMA Calsonics and very few of those!

They will get more and at a better price.
I remember when the Perfection Lightup beetles came out they said they were limited to so many but then they were selling them in 100 lots on ebay.
Give them some time to restock and lower there price.

interesting point voodoo. I know TE always try to get the stock back in. For example the 2000gtr pullback was out of stock for like months and then one day, bam! it was in stock again. so I bought 4 of 'em!

Oh definately! TE will restock especially with it being Xmas time, and with a product that sold out so quickly, you know they'll be back !!!
I can't see the price dropping anytime soon, but it will drop eventually !

Things I had to do to my convertable beetle:
reset the steering magnet
the rag top needed to be trimmed so it wouldn't mash down on the gears
a rear tire was put on the rim crooked, and now it is stretched out and doesn't sit properly
when the controller was put together, one of the turbo button's wires got pinched between the controller halves and was stripped down to the metal.
the paint on one of the bodies is chipping off, and I haven't even put it on a chassis yet!
All stuff that can be repaired. The quality of the piece is enough that I can overlook the assembly problems. But, after working with perfection and motorworks for a few weeks, I was amazed when I got the MSs out again and noticed how good the Tomy cars really are.

dt's right, quality control. the individual components are well made butwith mine i had to glue a loose steering coil, re drill the wonky rear wheels and glue them on straight crappy paint , tx needed re soldering in some parts, 2 split tyres. once fixed though, they're great. i bought another one as a gift and opened it up expecting to find a similar situation, but it was fine! obviously a bit hit and miss
