What would you of done sold it at the lower price? It is quite hypocritical.. More GT3’s could have been sold, but many hung back in fear, now its arrived those who held back now expect it to be gifted to them and vent anger when it isnt. i’ll save my sympathy for those who paid but haven't yet recieved it, that could be worryingly frustrating... @JCLdid you have any luck ?

Ever since the day when two neanderthals swapped a bone for a rock, there has been something called supply and demand. If you choose not to purchase when supply is good, you pay the price when supply is virtually non-existent. If that is being moral-free, we're better off without morals. Get real, please!

No Decorum Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 One would need to be extremely impatient and/or extremely well off and/or ignorant to pay twice what the second run will cost. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted April 29, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2021 I see from today’s email that a BR blue version is being considered. Excellent news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian_R Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Email that went out today has said that replacement bogie will be shipped out to people who ordered the first batch within the coming weeks cos of the reported issues - I'm guessing this means when the second run is produced - which I ordered - it will just come with that from the start which is fair enough, a manufacturer who listens, hooray! Also listed is the new BR Blue hypothetical version which i *really* want, although it doesnt list a date until they will be available until, so I'm guessing its just going to take as many as they get and make as many as get ordered? But it would be nice to know the time limit on it so I know how long have until I have to place an order, as I have limited free funds so dont want them to sell out before I can order one in like, a month or two, eep :/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent an email asking where my sound chip is, no reply after a week so sent another reply to the conversation saying almost the same thing and had a reply within 20 minutes.

I still haven’t had a reply to my email. Although I guess it was only sent yesterday. I have found Facebook good for getting in contact with companies. I have had several issues resolved quickly in the last few weeks. Better than hanging on the phone while they look up things. Even a reply from PECO in less than 15 minutes. I have joined quite a few sensible groups of various interests, and have a very small group of friends on my news feed. I ignore friend requests from strangers and even people I know who I don't really share an interest with. There is no need to put any personal information, you can just make it up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had several issues resolved quickly in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, there's not enough room under my snug-fitting tinfoil hat to fit a F*c*book account. So I just don't bother with companies that only work through that medium. That said, I have had a reply to my email query. Apparently there was a problem with some decoders, which has delayed shipping. I am no longer a nonperson. I don't think that the journey back is going to be as straightforward for Joss Whedon though. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing changes. in the early 2000’s I had a business trip to Manila, Internet wasn’t very strong in those parts, I had to telephone a booking. The hotel made my reservation, and car to meet my flight.. somehow between being asked who I was travelling with, and my reservation name got confused... I received a confirmed booking and at the airport sure enough the driver was standing outside baggage hall with a white sign bearing the name of my reservation.. ”Mr Nobody”. Strange place Manila, went out one night and nearly got run over by a wardrobe on a busy main road ... it would have been my epitaph just Imagine.... “Nobody got hurt” .. and what’s worse no one would believe me either!
