I know. Earlier this month I cancelled a bunch of PO's and reordered with a different mix so I could space the arrivals, assuming things would pick up later in the month. Surprise! The PO's are backing up again...seriously. Could end up

I haven't really noticed, as I don't pre-order often. I only pick up about 1 model per month...all I can afford right now. I have plenty of catching up to do.

That having been said, I notice that a lot of higher end automotive diecast manufacturers are delaying their releases as well (Greenlight and Johnny Lightning, to be exact).

Fellow collectors, the credit card is warping under the strain of current purchases. It will surely buckle under the onslaught of past due models. Every manufacturer is playing the same game and as a collector i'm warming the bench. The following are deferrals from the original schedules.US36603 p-38 Lightning-Olds...aa36502 Hawker Typhoon...AA36801 Westland Lysander...AA36702 Junkers JU88a-5...AA36501 Hawker Typhoon...AA36802 Westland Lysander. All are now promised for Jan.2007. No matter how many chins you have. 'Keep them up'. Swoop.
