So just out of interest, how much are we actually missing so far from the 2006 inventory? Just interested if anyone has a definative list? I know we're missing the new castings, but are the reissues running behind severely as well?

Thanks Sniper, I feared it would be something like that. I'm not too concerned as there's very little in that lot I'm interested in, but I don't know if Corgi realise that by having a MASSIVE release one week (which it's almost inevetable is going to happen) most people won't be able to afford what otherwise they'd have bought. Old hat, but I'd not quite grasped the enourmity of what Corgi still need to pull offthis year, let alone next! Jumblies are still confidently claiming the VC-10 will be "in stock 28th February 2007" though! Yeah right! :eek: :unsure:

Also missing the JEJ set and Dambusters Lanc.
Massive number of models to fet out before Xmas. Can the market take such a number or will Corgi cancel a few.

Gives plenty of scope for the christmas present list to be circulated around friends and family.:)

Yes but what about those of us with outstanding pre-orders plus all this new stuff? That CC is in for really hard times! Too much too soon won't work well in my mind because I for one just can't keep up.
With all the delays in releases I eventually gave up waiting and asked my vendor to send what was in stock. Yesterday 10 models arrived. That sure puts a dent in your wallet.
Looking to the future how much different will it be with the sheer volume of what is being released? Then again, if someone else makes the model and puts it in a Corgi box??:unsure:

Don't feel alone in your dilemma ZS-VAN - many of us are in the same small boat awash with new die-cast releases :eek: :D.

Blimey, worse than I thought. Either several very large batches of releases coming or limited resources being switched elsewhere. Christmas looms...must be a priority to have stock on the shelves by then rather than the cash strapped post Xmas period. Interesting times indeed.
