V1:400 First Release Announcement

[Eagle]

What an amazing release set Richard! Great idea to start with the house colors and never released ones. I think re-releasing the DC9 in house colors would be worth while as well as it is hard to come by and been forever.

Also since you talk to a Swiss retailer - the Swissair DC9-15 was never made in 400 scale either.

Yeah I’ve been seeing the pricing at Texan and Wildcat and it’s not for me at this time. I get the situation at this point, but I’ll circle back to these as I’m able to.

Agreed, I’m sure when they get more success prices will go down, then ill buy some stuff

Maybe it’s just me, but in the future could you post the list (and pictures) separately from the video? I prefer text to videos.

The problem with the pricing is with the distributor, they control and aren’t willing to budge. We would probably carry some but it’s certainly pricepoint. While the releases look great, current trends in the hobby aren’t going to support the pricepoint unfortunately.

Would love that 767 in the house scheme, any news of a retailer in the Asia-Pac region?

MyHobbyHouse and ToyMaxx have been contacted and will hopefully order.

I'm afraid pricing is out of my hands. Perhaps look across the border as pricing outside the US may be more competitive.

The models are avaliable for pre-order at Scale Model Store! The best store for Belgium ( for me anyway ) to order the models so great choice for picking them for the models!

Nothing in this list for me but looking foward to the other releases ! Will keep an eye out for it.

Yupp I've ordered from them a number of times - great Customer Service and even more significantly - excellent website - probably the best out there.

This are bad news for my wallet..... just kidding. Great to see it listed at scalemodestore!!! The prices are totally okay!

Seems like these are not good times for international trade. In my experience, shipping to and from Canada has become a royal pain, something that was a non-event only a few months ago.

I didn’t actually look into it, just assumed the email was correct

Great set! Mainly looking forward to add those beautiful house liveries. Crossing my fingers that AMS or at least a European shop will stock V1.

ARD is stocking em - just got an email. Very reasonable prices, at leasst fro UK standards. £43 for a 767, and £37-39 for a DC-9 or 727!

My only option for getting models delivering internationally is to ship to Canada and drive all the way up there to pick my packages up.

 

[Battlecry]

Prices are high, but I might still pick up the Battleship Grey United Airlines 767-200 after I see some pictures showing the shade of grey used on the actual model.

I agree, and have waivered on pulling Canada out of shipping but haven't yet. Lag time and prices have gotten way out of hand.

MCC sent us an email today saying next week they will send out the order form and pricing, unfortunately I know the pricing, which is very unfortunate. But we will see when the official word comes down from MCC.

There are pics of the model in the video

Yeah, but not everyone wants to scroll through 24mins of video to get that piece of info. I neither watch toyplane video but made an exception here. The 767s definitely look nice and I may get two of the Uniteds, but I wish the TW would have gotten some more attention around the titles if that's the final product.
