NG Model 1:400 April 2026 Release Hints

[MIAv8Diecast]

I guess it’s a good thing we’re getting these planes now, but this strategy has been pretty consistent lately. Has it always guaranteed an early arrival before the normal shipment?

I could be wrong but they seem to charge an excess of points for a new arrival model in these small exchange runs vs the standard semi-annual runs. Not saying there is an issue with that but I could see a potential benefit in sparing points for older releases.

I’d much rather spend 35 points on a old random 757 than 105 on a Delta A350 imo

Agreed. I don't ever utilize these random mini-exchange runs.

 

[MIAv8Diecast]

Agreed. I don't ever utilize these random mini-exchange runs.

I just think it’s worth giving it a lot of thought spending hard earned points on brand new releases in my opinion. Everyone will have more than enough time to purchase these from retailers.

Why not just drop the entire set?

Why not just drop the entire set?

NO.

Why not just drop the entire set?

Seems to me NG is just doing the opposite of every decision that would make sense

Managed to exchange 2 models

Did not see/realize how limited the stock was. Came in 1 minute after opening and everything was gone lol

For me yesterday it said it was opening at noon today, and it already happened - it’s 8:15am - now it says it’s opening again?

the translation is incorrect. it is open and the countdown is when it closes, but there is no stock, so it is over

 

[MIAv8Diecast]

Yeah it opened before it said it was supposed to and everything was gone once I went to claim that Delta.

nah, it opened exactly on time

 

[MIAv8Diecast]

nah, it opened exactly on time

Maybe I’m wrong

 

[swagninja84]

Maybe I’m wrong

Did you account for day light savings? It would be a different time in the us now.

Nah I think I just slept through the opening and got confused Lol

I also wanna point out that it’s been over a week since NG posted their hints for this release cycle, and their social media has been radio silent since. One of the most annoying things about NG aside from the general decline in quality/variety of releases is how inconsistent their social media presence is. GeminiJets for example has a very active and consistent social media presence. I’m so sick of the dicking around from NG, dropping hints and then going silent for weeks at a time. Just post the releases or don’t! Combined with the fact that there is seemingly an endless backlog of approved models, and the fact that NG often can no longer produce every model from a monthly release on time, it’s just getting annoying. They’re turning in JC Wings/AV400 with the sheer unpredictability and inconsistency of their releases, but at least AV400 produces a highly desirable and diverse variety of models, whereas NG has gone completely stale over the last year. Bleh.

Agreed — frustrating when they have no consistent schedule. Since their social media is outsourced, it’s probable he receives absolutely no communication from NG outside of CRP events, future release models, hint lists, and official announcements.

I’ve said this before too, but at this point the hints need to go. Given how many future releases we have, it’s gotten way too easy to predict releases. There’s no fun in the hints anymore.

You have exactly described the situation with NG
