Two questions:

1. Why is customs holding them up?
2. What other HM models are being held up?

should be everything on the new releases page? Or possible the one previous...HM is crap with it's Flyers/Timetable of releases I can confirm.

The one with the DAK Horch hasn't shown here in the US I think.

Customs, another reason I don't piss with HM/US releases anymore for stuff I really want. Wait 2 extra months for items isn't worth it.

U.S. customs often chooses containers to be emptied and inspected box by box. so it delays shipping from ports to the distributors.

i have an update and the containers are now moving again. they hope to receive them by the end of this week.

Relax, you guys. :lol:

That was a hold up of a couple of days. Your HM goodies are on the way.

Just shows you how anticipated these new HM releases are.And I have a few coming myself, including all three of the awesome F-111's. 8)

Is this the shipment that was delayed..note Aug. "rolleyes" at HM's wishful thinking.

because I don't think this batch here has made it to US shores, but I may be wrong...the last US shipment I see is the one with the 234/3 and Opel Fuel Hauler 1940

Technically THIS should have been the SEPTEMBER allotment; according to HM logistics.

Image

AFAIK, this started to ship to HK vendors sometime 9.25, and could show up at their stores say 10.14-10.25, and here in the US..sometime in November..but prob closer to December as trends have shown with past shipments.

HM is getting as bad as Draggin when it comes to timing releases...or more should I say, HYPING up their releases and then failing to deliver on schedule.

HM has been pretty good for months. usually i receive monthly releases in the 3rd week of the month. the problem with customs happens and HM cant be blamed. i have some stuff thats been in cutoms for 3 weeks now.

here you go
Thanks A_G

Sorry for off-topic. I have read a long thread at another message board about HM paper catalogue, but can't find one anywhere. Any advice would be mostly appreciated.

Cheers

Has there been any news as to when the F-111 might be out?

It is supposed to be out with this shipment..

With so many conflicting flyers out there, I would just like to know what is actually coming now?
