I tell him "no".
I have the spare money now. I don't need a call in a month telling me "it's here" and I'm low on spare cash.
Anyway.....I notice amain has them in limited quantities also.
How long do these things usually stay out of stock for??
I much rather buy it from the hobby shop than from somewhere online.....not to mention he gave me a great deal....$500 even.
Definitely support your local shop, especially if you get a good deal. But take advantage of any sales that are available online to get the same deal. Amain has a descent price on the kit,

Also buy a car that has local support, ie. other guy that run the car. That way you can compare set ups, etc.
