NG April Exchange - What did you get?

What I have noticed is that there’s an inflation happening right at the exchange mall for the last several rounds. There are some surprising model which received some discounts but the majority got a point hike. Some models went out of stock blazingly fast. For this round I only exchanged for 4 models (as opposed to 10 of last round) as the exchangeable goods aren’t as interesting as the last rounds. And here’s my selection:
- House Color B747SP: a nice recent release which I would like to add to my collection but did not stand high in my priority list.
- Cubana Tu-204-100C: a sistership to the one I already had at home.
- Wizzair A321neo: I was thinking of getting this model but was lucky that I was able to redeem this time.
- Brazillian AF A319: this same aircraft just came to Hanoi several days ago so it’s a must.

I agree on the points hike, but it isn't surprising as there are a lot of newer releases in the list now and most of the older stock has gone. I mean they even had the UA 767 from last month. Also they have those extra gift cards retailers are giving out, which give people points too.

I note that a lot of the Chinese models sell out almost immediately.
 
Potentially got a Jetstar A320 and have a code for it but where do I go about claiming it? Ordered it to Aircraft Model Store in the UK…apparently (ai didn’t even realise I selected a store 😂)

It depends how the store is running it. I believe Aircraft Model Store are charging about £10 per model for these, but not sure how they are charging. They are a bit crap across the board really

I use Bedfordshire Diecast who charge £4.95 per model for the handling and shipping, but you need to be a signed up member to do that.

I was expecting them to have the JL A35K but might be those were sold-out unfortunately. Their CRP seems to be great in general imo, giving collectors a chance to get some new releases as well as hard-to-find older releases as well. It's worth mentioning that last round NG gave 50% point bonus in the period leading to the last round in December.

where are you looking? from my phone, there is an exchange which says it's opening in 4 days 7 h 19m 29s.
It doesn't have any of these models. It has a Zipair Tokyo 787, Virgin Australia 737, ANA 787-10, and so on.

Not sure why but NG just leaves the exchange saying it’s “opening”. The timer you’re seeing is when it closes and to see the models you can search the ones you want
 
i managed to actually exchange and got 2 models. That wasn't hard at all 😳
so many times it would reset and go back to the top.
Hard to see on a mobile screen.
Would be nice if you could filter out the 'out of stock' models.

We'll see how it goes.
