Separate announcement list／booth／release dates; prices only in the table; no invented HK names or shelf dates.

At a glance

After the 64th All Japan Model Hobby Show, Tamiya Mini 4WD enters an Oct–Dec 2026 new-car wave. Keep three layers separate:

Layer	Meaning	In this piece
Announcement list	Tamiya’s 2026-09-14 show new-item list	Four cars + one tool
Booth display	Kits seen on trade-day coverage	Can exceed the list (e.g. TYXIV)
Release wave	Each product page’s on-sale / ship window	~10/24 → ~11/7 → December

Show cheat-sheet: Trade day 2026-10-02; public 10/3–10/4; Tokyo Big Sight West Halls 3–4; door ¥1,500 / advance ¥1,100 tax-in; under junior-high free. Organizer: Japan Plastic Model Industry Cooperative.

Tips

•If a report says “South Halls,” prefer Tamiya／Kotobukiya West.

Why it matters

This is not a single-kit blurb—it stacks show list + booth + near-term releases.

Easy mix-up: booth photos ≠ “everything ships in October.” TYXIV is the near-week car; Godzilla Brocken tracks the film window; Hornet Jr.／Neo VQS mostly sit in December.

Selling points first; price and dates appear once in the compare table. No invented HK street dates.

Tips

•Hard numbers follow tamiya.com; X @mini4wd is signal only.

Hong Kong discovery

Discovery only—not street-date sources:

- Tamiya Hong Kong Online Store: https://tamiya.hk/

- Community boards (e.g. Mini4wdhk／HKM4A) for chatter only.

This piece does not invent Chinese marketing names, unsourced HK shelf dates, or treat FX as shop MSRP. JP names + romanization stay until a glossary locks.

Tips

•JP “around／planned” ≠ HK same-day stock.
