I saw the NXT Evo on the US site, but not the European, should that change today?

We know, it should be today, but when today? hahaha :roll: :lol:
In Germany it's already 06:37 pm. So this "today" is soon over.

A little information would be nice like "Hey guys, sorry but today it won't be possible!" or "it will be today ( UTC -12 ) ... keep refreshing your browser." :roll: :lol:

they're up now, but I don't understand the pricing at all. Compared to the US prices they're very expensive. $175 for the evo omni is 230 euros on the European store.

Does this not apply to the US store, and does it mean that later on the price in the European store will drop? "This product is not yet in stock. The first batch will arrive from the factory via express delivery, therefore the end price is slightly higher than usual"

I also consider this price to be expensive. Sure....air freight is included, but unfortunately I don't think it matters that much. So it would be interesting to know what the regular price will be. I was going to wait anyway as I also want the UCM but this price makes it even easier for me to do so

It's a little expensive, but don't forget that taxes are not included in the US Store.

In the EU shop, import duties and taxes are already calculated.

I had actually ordered, unfortunately I am not ready to order until my tickets for the cancellation of the Gladiator NXT, which have been open for almost 2 weeks, have been processed, I do not have infinite money.

I was really looking forward to this, and was prepared to be among the first who will order, but I will refrain from ordering until the price drops. :roll:

I do expect this model will replace existing, thus resulting in same price level as predecessor.
If it can be judged by NA store, they will likely reduce the price for the prior version of NXT, until they get rid of the supplies of parts that are not reusable in EVO.

Since throttle is also something I am looking for, I will use the time to study better what is out there on the market.
Providing the throttle they were developing as a bundle would have been a great thing if available now, but I guess I will just go with a cheaper throttle.

Same feelings here as the previous posters. The price hike came as a bit of a surprise, especially when I was holding out on a purchase of a non-evo Gladiator since I knew that EVO was coming..

Hi

I don't understand the new price, it's really expansive relative to US store, We are no longer in a mid-range price bracket.

- 135$ for a standard right in US
- 223€ for a standard right in europe

if I do a simple calculation ...
1$ = 1.11€

135/1.11 = 121€ with out VAT

121 + 20% = 145€ with VAT why 223 ???? ,an addition of 78€

Well, at least VKB made the call for me between the KG12 and the SCG Premium. Kinda disappointing when I look at the US prices which are basically unchanged from the non-EVO prices. I guess I might even wait for the non-airdrop shipment to roll into the EU store.

Bummer... :(

Well they did indicate earlier that initially price will be higher, due to transport costs, and that ship shipment should read in about a month... (I have to check where I got this from, so please be aware it may be not accurate).
