One of the worst days in my life as a collector

I bought this car a while ago in Japan. It was sent out together with a Cheetah in one box. In another box, a NIB Sand Scorcher and a NIB XR311 were sent out. I received the Sand Scorcher and XR311, but the other box, containing the 935 Porsche and Lambo Cheetah never arrived.
I put in a search with EMS Taxipost, and I got the news today that the package is lost and can't be recovered. It is either stolen or sits somewhere in a warehouse. I have given both cars up, but will post them on Tamiyaclub as a 'psychological' help to get over the loss. I simultaneously drank some beers with loaded and feel a bit better now. Thanks Paul!
For all you treasure hunters out there, this is the EMS tracking number: EI463610361JP
If someone finds this kit, you will get a reward of 250 Euros.

We all keep our eyes open--Hope this will come to a good end for you.What a nightmare...
*retro_dude*
You have my sympathy - I had a postal nightmare with a 1/12 static kit of the 935 that was mailed from Belgium and never turned up, and was gutted - this is on a much bigger scale so I completely feel for you...

Is there no way you can get in contact with these guys? Departure from inward office of exchange BRUXELLES X-DOUANE BELGIUM. I've checked on a couple of websites ( google translated ) which seem to indicate there could be a possible hold on packages for a non adviseable amount of time ( Block ). This issue seems to come up alot ( Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner BRUXELLES X-DOUANE BELGIUM ) maybe its getting held for further checking? Sorry if this is just not helping. Good luck hope it turns up!

Thanks for your help and kind comments guys. Actually EMS told me they searched their warehouses already, but the package can't be found. It passed customs, but was apparantly lost when it was put on the truck and departed form the main hub. It could be everywhere. My guess is that someone just stole it.

The EMS says it is at the customs in BRUXELLES X-DOUANE have you tried this avenue? Maybe it's there waiting for you to pay charges? Jerome.

That's a real bummer. I feel really sorry for you as these are quite nice kits...
Let's hope they will turn up some day.

Hi Jerome,
It already passed customs, but was lost somewhere between the central hub and the delivery hub.

Hello Deemiller, I haven't lost the hope to get it back one day, but chances are quite slim.

Any update on it?
Racing Master
No, the cars are definately lost I'm afraid. I bought a Cheetah today on Ebay, but and will start looking for another 935.
