That means they have no idea when it's coming, or they exhausted all their pre-orders and are preparing to ship them. No shipment confirmation and no in-stock notification either. I think the status would have changed from "Pre-order" to "Backorder", if they received the first shipment. Btw, coupon code no longer works for Tamiya. Hope that's no a permanent thing.

GeeWings 2830 Posted November 23, 2021 Sound like good news for everyone! Mine has arrived in Sydney from Hong Kong in just a couple of days but is now sitting waiting to clear customs. It could be 24 hours or 24 days with the way things are here at the moment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carmine A 2046 Posted November 23, 2021 Good News @GeeWings !! Not looking so good for us Yanks.... for more than just RC's... We still have a massive bottleneck in LA, San Francisco and Seattle, due to the huge pileup of Cargo Ships - because of the lack of ground Transportation. I'm really hoping that ours gets through.

Much the same here. I have stuff sent from RCMart 6 ago that was sent standard 'airparcel' and there is still no sign of it. The Wild One is quicker as I paid for Express Post. I actually just looked at the update. It is now in the sorting office just 15km's from me. Could still take many days to arrive though. Not a huge deal as I'm putting it away for Christmas but I did also order a load of spare Blockhead decals for other cars which I am looking forward to using! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to hear yours is nearly in your hands! I'm in Queensland. I emailed Frontline and they said, "The Australian Distributor is expecting stock in the coming weeks." I'm still not sure if my order will be filled from that batch. Fingers and toes are crossed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silvertriple 3557 Posted November 23, 2021 It seems I'm lucky, I succeeded to key in a reservation to my dealer by mail this morning (nb: it's not on his website, so no obvious way to ask). I'll get it in the course of next week, but won't be able to open it before X-mas... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just tried the coupon code on the Blockhead (and an in stock Thunderdragon), it worked fine in the cart on both. Maybe it was just a glitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
