We have reached the end of August, any update on the Fonck/Weber planes?
We have reached the end of August, any update on the Fonck/Weber planes?
To borrow a phrase from the flight sim community:
"Two weeks, be sure!"
But realistically, sometime between now and... December?
I got my copies of the Fonck reprint and the Weber Albatros thanks to the T&T Kickstarter, and they look very nice. Will be worth the wait IMHO.
My understanding is that they were on the boat with the Series IV reprints, which is Stateside and the product is at the Ares warehouse and shipping to retailers now. Street date, should be September 6th.
They are available in German shops for a month now, or so.
...or maybe the flagshipstores participated in the KS campaign.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
There seems to be a distinct shortage of the new series 1 models here in the U.K. also.
Some websites are showing them out of stock already.
Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.
Managed to get Chavanes Spad, Baumer Triplane and McLaren Camel at games expo in June, but not seen any repaints on sale as yet
Got Kissenberth Camel, Baumer Triplane and McLaren Camel at Entoyment, but haven't snagged the SPADs yet.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
As of this morning, Ares has stated that the Weber and Fonck planes will not be arriving with the Series 4 reprints. They will be arriving "later".
Sven,
You have seen the Weber/Fonck minis in the store there in Germany? Or was it some of the other Series 1 reprints? My understanding is that there were production issues on those two minis and they were not produced at all (well, at least not in a saleable condition).
I got both with my Kickstarter.
I’ll bet they did not produce enough to allow for additional sales.
For those of us who have been waiting, can we get the other planes that we ordered?
That's interesting. Since all four aircraft come out of the same mold, I don't think that would be the case. Unless the paint/decals on those two minis got messed up part way through the production run and they only had enough to fill the KS orders. Or perhaps the KS delivered minis are not correct and the issue was not noticed until after those were shipped. Have you carefully checked all the markings to make sure they are correct?
I'm looking into solutions to handles this in a reasonable manner.
It has now been a month since "later"....any chance we are near an identifiable "later"?
Hanging in the breeze is no fun...is it time to move on to what is next...speaking of, what is next?
Fonck and Weber are now in stock at the AA store. The WGS medium bombers are also available for pre-order now as well.
And for those of you who also play BSG, the new Viper Mk. VII is on pre-order as well.
NOW in stock. I was way too tired when I posted that last night! lol
WhooHoo! Thanks for the update, Herr Oberst.
No matter how tired you may have been.
Thanks Chief!
You get some rest, and I'll see about getting my order in!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Ordered! Thank you.
My memory isn't what it use to be. For those of us who ordered them originally. Do we have to re-order or are they on the way?
I did get the email with the discount. But I had forgotten the details, thus me asking.
I'll re-order them. thanks.
Mine arrive last night. Thanks for your tireless efforts (yes, the irony is intended), Herr Oberst.
