I wouldn't worry about it. The United States isn't supposed to get a shipment of Bandai Falcons until Oct 31. It is then unlikely that USA Gundam will get them RIGHT ON OCT 31. I would wait until mid Nov to wonder, and then late Nov to even begin to worry. I ordered from them too, I'm not worried.
 
I see. Thanks for info. Guess I mostly worried that I had to pay the full amount up front, so they already have my $$$, and I don't have the kit. In most cases, the retailer would take an initial deposit, and then ask for the remaining amount once the shipments had arrived. But maybe it's a small operation with limited capital and they needed the cash up front to buy the kits? Dunno....

Since 1978, I'm sure I've built or started to build at least a dozen Falcons. I've finished two. Only one -- my heavily modified 1/72 FM -- is the only one I consider a good, reasonably accurate Falcon because I spend hours and hours correcting the hull curvature, mandibles, etc. As tempting as it would be to say, "Well, sure, ten of those Falcons were crap but at least I enjoyed myself building them," the truth is... I didn't. Those ten Falcons were nothing but the definitions of frustration and defeat. Since I was a kid all I wanted was a screen accurate Falcon. The Falcon from the MPC box. Not the hockey puck kit inside. Sometimes, the research is fun. Sometimes, figuring out ways to make a kit more accurate is the best part of building a model. But I got past that point with the Falcon, oh, about 35 years ago! I cannot wait for mine to arrive!
