We have some of the worst import allowances in the world £15 and over is liable for vat at 20% and then over £120 or so duty is included too.

Then is it comes by parcelforce service they charge £8 USA and £13 Far East is China Japan etc.

Americans and Australians a generous $800 allowance.

Australia is $1000. Aus $$ then we have to pay if it's more  . BUT there was talk of changing it   .

When I logged into the miponline web site to check on my order, it isn't listed in my list of orders.  Anyone else?  Maybe pre-orders aren't shown...

I didn't register myself w/ miponline but I did NOT receive any email confirmation of my order to prove I ordered. Luckily I saved my confirmation screen. I figured I'd give MIP the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Glad you guys were able to get the numbers to have this produced. It was mentioned that MIP was getting tons of e-mails asking about different hop-ups for all sorts of cars. I wonder what's next.

[howaboutme]

Did anyone else get an email from MIP to review our recent purchase? lol...Kind of hard to review if we haven't received the product yet! Maybe this means it's close!

19th today for USA , 20th for me . Not got email yet to say it's shipped ?. Wonder when they will ?. 

[tamiya3speed]

I have been wondering that myself.  I noticed on the website yesterday that the dog bones and single diff option are showing as discontinued already.

Hmm. that discontinued is interesting. My guess is they will stick w/ selling the complete set rather than bits?

I'm getting impatient as well!
