Anybody buy from these guys yet?

Dragon USA Online - Cyber Hobby, Mini Art, Master Box, Lion Roar, Tasca & Fujimi Model Kits

I did my first order with them and noticed that you earn Dragon bucks.
Talk about a smart business ploy, these guys keep going like this and they'll
bury Tamiya.

I've not bought anything from them! I've not heard anything 'bout their service n' shiping to Europe. I've bought from Hobbyeasy in Hong Kong though n' they're even cheaper on the stuff.

Didn't know about these folks. I may have to give them a try. You can never have to many MkIII's in your collection. Or Tigers for that matter.

Lion Roar stuff is excellent. I have a detail set for Tamiya's 'Bicycle' kit.

Re: Anybody buy from these guys yet?

That's a nice kit. I've got their F2 in my stash n' it's not much that differs between those kits as the G n' F2 was almost the same version. It's quite different to build a modern Dragon kit compared to a modern Tamiya kit. Both is easy with a good fit but the Dragon kit have roughly three times more parts n' smaller parts plus separate tracklinks. The overall finish is way better in the Dragon kit but the Tamiya is more of a shake n' bake kit. But you're in for a shockin' experience in goin' from a Tamiya instruction sheet to a Dragon instruction sheet.

Re: Anybody buy from these guys yet?

Haha, you're in for a shocker for sure! There's quite a few more parts in a Dragon kit n' the instructions sometimes demands an enigma encoder to follow where the parts should go n' particullar what parts you should use as you often have up 'til three different parts for the same thing but no instruction as to what part is the right for the version you wanna build.
