It's DEFINITELY worth picking up at only $108!

That's only $54 each (before shipping) for each Tank and you still get the battle obstructions too! I'm personally considering it as well (even though I already have the pair in regular camo colors).

I see you live in Whittier,CA U.S.A before you try ultimate hobbies in Orange,Ca 714-921-0424 they can order it for you you don't have to pay that hefty shipping charge to toys east.I picked up my tiger1 for $69.95.I see you like BIt charges they have very good prices on Tomy Bits ,Wild Charg,you name they have it.they are the best R/C car shop in southern California hands down.

A couple of friends and i recently went into a group buy and got 2 or the Opposition sets and a pair of Basic sets from Toyeast... it hink for $108 its well worth it... but even tho the Op sets are limited.. i think i prefer the standard camo... the white just looks alitte plain..

Yieeehaa! My winter battle set just arrived - only 7 days from HK to Germany including Customs processing. I'm charging up the T-34 and tomorrow a mate is coming over for some battle. The obstructions in the winter set are really nice and I think the tanks look quite good in their winter livery with airbrushed exhaust stains etc. I can always paint them if I get tired of the colour.

ya i would say that its worth it because you save about 50 bucks before shiping.

After having read a lot about how noisy these little tanks could be I was surprised to find that the T-34 and Panther in my winter set were very quiet. I lubed the gears just the same but it just changed the sound a bit rather than making it more quiet. The tanks both roll straight with just a touch of trim on the RX. I am very happy with my purchase.
