Tamiya USA has had a countdown clock on their website for a while. They are saying it is a countdown to an unveiling for something new. They haven’t spilled the beans yet, but there is some speculation out there that they are releasing an RC Millennium Falcon.  Ok, maybe that’s wishful thinking. But, what is the big announcement? The countdown expires at noon on Tuesday Sept 6, 2011. Stay tuned to RC Soup and we’ll keep you updated.

UPDATE: It looks like the countdown was for a new website redesign. (Probably explains why the site was down so long at the time the event was to take place). While cool, and more user friendly than the old site.. it was admittedly a bit of a let down for us here. Was really hoping for a new Clodbuster or something. At least they are getting a lot of website traffic out of the hype they created.
