If you can't get Tamiya parts in this country then why did you buy that car?

erm, cause they get them 6 weeks before, because they are nearly half the price and cause Hobby Co are a bunch of thieving bar stewards. Also, some buy to collect, some buy the TRF cars to race. I know of some shops who can buy kits and parts from HK/Japan/China and ship it cheaper than Hobby Co can sell them trade, trust me, I have seen the trade prices.
Sometimes, it isn't so much the hobby shop, it is the distributor that forces you to go elsewhere.
