I remember my Falcon being packed like that. Building a car was far more special back then.. and you got more parts because of the over-engineering

They were 449.99 preorder. Just google 2011 Avante preorder, a couple of sites come up.
An amazing price for an amazing car. Too much for me though.

Just seen the first one pop up on ebay (in South Korea). 470USD plus another 70USD shipping - so about £340 if you maange to get it 'safely' () into the country. Give it a little bit of time and I reckon they might dip below £300.

Still too steep for me though (just as the orignal was)

Tower Hobbies doesn't have them in stock yet but have them listed at $469.99 (they listed it in onroad, although alot of Tamiya's offroads are in the onroad). I got a discount code to save another $100 off that so it would be $369.99 + shipping. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAUNH&P=7
