You’d be surprised ! He has upgraded his CS by a mile. Never hurts to ask. YMMVWaffle's not renowned for his customer service. I don't think he'd be up for that

Waffle has great customer service now. You would be surprised.

My very second 1:400 purchase from Waffle back in early 2009 had a model that looked as if it had come from the scratch and dent section (it didn’t). I have received many parcels from him with no issues since then, up until about 3 months ago, when I also got another model badly damaged due to a loose stabilizer that went nuts around the whole tail area.
In both cases my experience has been the same. He is a fair businessman, just not very tactful. If one become a difficult customer he won’t hesitate to let you know that you are a pain in the rear. He has been doing this for a long time, and can tell when someone is not worth doing business with. The downside is the bad rap that such attitude has earned him. Nobody is perfect I suppose. But yeah, if you are reasonable, you shouldn’t have any bad experiences with Waffle.

Back on topic, I did see something NG recently posted on Facebook. I have several cards stored away.

Yes. Once you have placed an order it shows you a list.

Yeah I was hoping it would have some good stuff that I missed.

I'm curious as to what direction NG will go with exclusives. Niche obscure stuff? Classics? More of the usual US majors/BA/Qatar? Re-runs of previous releases that were popular?

I don't know, but I would sure love to see some classics.

Personally I think re-runs would be a great idea for exclusives. It would fit well considering what types of collectors would generally use this program: those that are active enough in the hobby to both keep track of cards and have enough of them to redeem a free plane. They would most likely all have a model or two they missed out on and really wish to get.
On another note, I can definitely agree that this exchange batch is more or less clearance sales. That JAL A350 looks tempting but I'd rather have a regular livery not a Oneworld -- shame they don't have that particular one. I think I'll just wait and see what they offer next month.

Well, I'd be a happy collector if that's what finally gets NG to "release" an SQ, a re-run of their 78X would be great. Fingers crossed for more exciting stuff next month...

If they are going to run SQ, they should run the 777-200 old colors, new colors, star alliance, 50th anniversary, and then the A330-300. Last A333 had printing issues with windows painted way too high.
