...as well as a captured one.


I'm not the biggest fan of captured tanks though I couldn't let the T-34s get away
But if it's going to be a captured one why not a completely repainted one like this?

The Dragon Euro Expo 2006 1:72 Firefly seems to be cheaper if purchased in Asia (Hong Kong usually). I bought mine from there and though it took about 3 weeks to finally get it to the US, was the cheapest I've seen it go for on Ebay. There's one currently available from China that is going pretty cheap right now ($22) and ends in about 26 hours. Below is a link to the auction if anyone is interested.

It wound up selling for about $70 shipped from Hong Kong.


That's about what it cost me (total) to upgrade on my Ebay snafu (see above). Luckily the seller accomodated me. I'm waiting for it to arrive from the UK.

If anyone is still looking for one of these you can pick one up from hobbybuy.com ( US site ) for 39.99 less 10% with coupon code display on their site.

Wow, that's one heck of a find!

Great deal, thanks. The coupon code did not appear to be working but still an awesome find. I hope they still have some left (fingers crossed).

I apologize for that – I didn’t read all the text – it turns out to be 10% off Dragon “kits”.

I also found the DX07 Alfred Kurzmaul King Tiger 60223 at timewalkertoys.com ( US site ) for 29.99.

Got my Firefly along with a few other Dragon Armor models from HobbyBuy today. Funny thing is that ALL the models came straight from... DragonUSAOnline distribution center as opposed to Nevada-based address. The shipping box was marked HobbyBuy Drop Ship.
1730 Colma Rd. #326 Rowland Heights, CA 91748 with Nevada phone: (702) 883-8575. Everything was top notch, but I do find the whole thing odd given that Dragon Exclusives are usually sold directly from DragonUSAOnline store.

Yes, I recall “drop ship” on the confirmation mail and thinking that was odd that the items were going to be shipped by a second party.


I received my Firefly today as well – It was packaged exactly as if shipped from Dragon USA– Same paper coiled around item carefully placed in center of box.
