Thread: New Delux Version of Famous Aces

  1. #1

    Default New Delux Version of Famous Aces

    Don't know if this is the right place to post this and it may have been addressed elsewhere but I am struggling to source the new delux set. Is it out yet? Anyone know where in the UK I can get it?

    I suggest you write a letter to Santa, as that will probably be your best source in the UK... we tend to be on a par with our ANZAC cousins when it comes to availabilty.

    We have to wait for English version to come back to Europe from the USA...

    Whenever the Americans start posting "yay it's arrived" set your alarm clock for 6 weeks or so.... AFAIK it's not actually materialised *anywhere* yet, but Britain and the ANZACs are bottom of the distribution chain, so last to get anything new (hence still waiting for Series 4 miniatures....)

    At least we will have time for the wallet to have time to recover from series 4, before we see the Deluxe set, but for those just starting the game it can seem like an eternity. i remember waiting to order my Christmas presents last year as we all expected series 4 then. Now it looks as if it will be this years Christmas present instead. That is why I've started building the bombers myself. By the time they arrive mine will be obsolete.

    Some of us are still waiting for our Skytrex orders too - it always appalls me how impatient people are, especially when I turn out to be just as bad....

    I was going to post "on its way shortly" but the nice UPS man has just knocked on the door with my Skytrex order, so I guess it'll be a week or two....

    Very true, but the world has gotten so used to us sending you supplies and support, our friends over at Nexus thought it only right to keep the tradition going!

    Ahem, we're talking WWI here, so I think you'll find it mainly the other way around.... As an added bonus, you weren't still paying for your SPADs, Nieuports, Camels and SE5s fifty years later....
