Next limited edition shed?

[Scottish-Exile]

I just picked up 66 728 Institution of Railway Operators last week, in a flash sale by Model Railways Direct, getting it brand new for £114. This being from this years new releases in the standard range.

 

Half wondered then if retailers are shipping out/offloading the Bachmann ones. However, that wouldn't make sence as if the Hattons model is only going to be available from Widnes (at least initially, unless they become a wholeseller) then for other shops wanting to offer customers a Cl 66, then they only have the Bachmann or the old Limby models to sell.

 

Always hard to judge the appeal of new releases. I pre-ordered 66 711 Sence last year and paid full whack, only to see it on shelves today heavilly discounted. On the same day, I got Hornby's Colas Class 60 Clic Sargent which I'd also pre-ordered and is now going for a significant price hike on eBay.
