Deagostini Falcon. Anyone seen this?

Stupid Deagostini - They billed me two weeks ago for Pack 9 and still haven't shipped it yet. Called yesterday to find out what's going on only to be told that 9 is backordered and due any day. First the mess up with Month 5, now this. Ugh.

Now on to another question - is anyone thinking about altering the cargo hold to match TFA? In the same vein, is anyone planning to do the TFA dish to swap out the round one? Yes, I know the other details on the ship are different, but to the casual observer, the wouldn't know any difference.

Yea that's pretty tipical. I'm currently waiting for pack 11, but the last 3 months have progressively gotten worse and worse. Pack 9 was 3 weeks late, pack 10 came over a month after being charged and after being charged for pack 11 which was charged at the beginning of Dec. Still waiting for a shipping notice and was charged Dec 5. Hopefully this pattern doesn't continue after the holidays.
 
No one in the US I'm aware of has had pak 11 shipped even though it was billed 3 weeks ago. Supposedly they will get caught up in Jan/Feb. We shall see.

I have a Tony's Deago TFA dish, but no appropriate mount, just for possibilities. I too think I will keep it ESB but ,a Hasbro as TFA is possibility, seeing as how Tony also has it available in that scale too.

We sent a message to DeAgostini USA a few days ago asking about pack 11 and why it has not shipped yet.

The reply we received on 12/29/15 is...
"Unfortunately Month 11 is currently unavailable and currently in transit to our warehouse. We anticipate it will be shipped to you within the next 2 weeks. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience."

We paid on Dec 8. They should update their website to not say "Please allow us 6 to 8 business days to process your order and deliver it to your address"

They should not charge our account until they have the parts in hand and are ready to ship. Pack 12 payment will be taken in about a week and nothing to show for either.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be getting this. I am being as patient as I can. Just wish they could communicate better and get their company a little better organized.

I got a box with 4 packs in it and a bunch of magazines. My card has been charged for $600+ and Ihave other notifications that other issues have been sent. So much for putting everything in one box hahah.

Anytime I get a shipment, it's always a nerdgasm. But when the shipment has something particularly juicy--some significant hull structure, say--I swear it's tantric. Anyone else feel this way?

One thing I've often wondered. So much of how this thing is marketed and discussed--that it's like a weekly "magazine"--are people anywhere actually able to get this weekly at a newsstand of bookstore, or am I just all messed up on that?

At what point should I expect the new / corrected canopy. The Dymszo video says to expect one.

Edit: Issue 40 has the revised canopy and "glass" to fit it. Glass to fit the old canopy comes later, if you want to use the old canopy. Personally, I never understood how the original was wrong in the first place as I'm not super into accuracy, and as I understand it, the revised canopy still isn't correct, FWIW.

It's the hilight of my month when I get a shipment! That's why I get so mad and damn worked up when they are late! To answer your question, in Great Britain you are able to get them weekly from a store, but they call it something weird like a "news agent". Whatever that is!

Happy New a Year my fellow Uber Nerds!
