No postings for 7 days. What is status of our mercandise we have invested in. Would like a update.
The mould has been finished, proper plastic material and color have been selected and they are in final production right now. Each set of 150 pieces will require 6 stampings of the mould. They have to close the mould, inject the plastic, wait for the plastic to cool and set, then open the mould to retrieve the new pieces and repeat this process 5 more times to get a full 150 piece set.
I would assume FMG has placed a MINIMUM order of 100 sets just to fill all the pre-orders and have some left over for in-house inventory stock. While I don’t know the exact time for each stamping of the mould or what kind of hours the Chinese factory works, you’ve got to figure this will take some time to produce that many sets. Plus, to control shipping costs, they HAVE to wait until all those sets are complete before shipping them across the ocean – they can’t afford to ship one or two sets at a time. Shipping costs would be ridiculous.
We are in the HOME STRETCH now. Final production started on or about June 10 so it will only take a few weeks more. Everyone just be patient. We will all be very happy very soon.
and dont forget germany is right arround the corner
Is the mould for Germany finished yet? Or are they still working on it at the forge? Well, hopefully it won’t have the defect discovered in the Italian mould and as soon as the factory gets it, they can get into production.
Sure would like to see some more US sculpts if they are available yet.
it should be finnished any time, and he’ll be surpriseing us w/ sculpts any time now
Any day now on this one. I admit it I look at this thread almost every day. If I didn’t fish I would be screwed.
All quiet on the Western front. Waiting anxiously.
all quiet on every front
Latest news from factory: will be complete by end of month
Oh man, thank you. That is really cool news. I know you don’t like to give any kind of dates since you have been burned too often, but I really appreciate having some idea to look forward to. Don’t worry, I am not going to be back here on July 31 screaming “Where’s my Italian units!?!” I know “end of month” could mean anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks from that area. It’s just nice to have some idea. Thanks again.
