I just placed like a $400.00 preorder for next year's releases with the Mule. I ordered the Wessex in US Army colors, the weathered B-17, the weathered P-51, the black Lysander, The VMF-214 A-4, the Pudgy P-38, and a few other odds and ends. I am curious to see what you guys are getting out of the new stuff.

Cost more $$$ is what I am getting. Alot of good new "goodies" coming out and running out of room.

Well i can only get a few more till Nov 24th.
Wife won't let me get any diecast during the Holidays....
Time to buy gifts for others
I really hope the weathered look is better then before too.
I want to get the Blacksheep A-4 as well.
Shangri La Mustang is not a FM special either

No more preorders! With new models coming in haphazardly/never on schedule/rarely on time, I just can't see doing it again. Previously, the price reduction made it somewhat worthwhile (even if it was an exercise in futility), but now even those perks are gone. Doesn't mean I won't be spending all I can afford (and more, I admit), but it will be only after the little dears become "New Arrivals".

(I went through at least three waves of preorder cancellations this year, from the Mule as well as a couple patient 1/400 vendors, and felt guilty each time, even though I've been able to reorder about half the models cancelled. However, it seems unfair to put everyone through the--inevitable--extra work, so I'll play the waiting game.)

...don't we all...one way or another. I remember being amazed by one collector who had over 1,000 diecast airliners. At an average $25 each, that's...well...amazing!
