Julie , when does this item ship out or do we have to wait another month since it is out of stock ???
Regards, Neil :salute:::salute::
Our shipment of the new First Legion arrives tomorrow! Just tracked it again this morning now that I am in the office.
We will be processing the order tomorrow once it is checked in and shipping on Wednesday morning.
We have enough of VEH016 coming in to cover our existing pre-orders and a few to spare at the moment.

Frank,
Neil's point of view is not an uncommon one although I'm not sure it applies unless FL had announced that a release was limited to a specific amount. Andy got into hot water with collectors with this issue over the French tank in the Fields of Battle.
Secondly, Pete requested that you not go on about the secondary side of the market as what you believe is well known.

Think that the way forward and everyone happyWith vehicles the devaluing can be minimized by re-releasing them with different turret numbers and or insignia.
Is that the best you can do? :rolleyes2: We need some controversy, something to keep this thread going {eek3}
What a killjoy! :tongue:

How does it get devalued? I do not think it loses its luster, its brilliance in the heart. On some one that appreciates having it. Nor the value of the money that was spent on it. some one that wants it....... And In this forum more than likely, an FL retired piece will get sold... Especially if its close to its retail price. And if it does lose its luster in someone's eyes. Please re-sell it., to someone that will appreciate having it...
The same can be said about the Manufacturer, how does it get devalued in their eyes. I do not see them giving a refund check if they re-do a piece...so no loss there..
De-valued???:rolleyes2:LOL LOL.... PLEASE Give me a break:rolleyes2::rolleyes2:.......If it's not damaged and if it re-sells for it's approx. retail value....."that's all any of us should expect from our purchases"....The manufacturer makes a product to sell and should not worry about this nonsense....These things are not investments, they are toys .... However if you are an unscrupulous speculator whose intent is to purchase an item strictly to price gouge someone else latter when it sells out....GO TAKE A LONG WALK....That's not what this hobby is about....In regards to re-releases FL should not concern themselves with these warped individuals who seek only to profit off a product they did not even produce.... Again the focus should not be on these nay-sayers and speculators but the FL focus should be based on product DEMAND from collectors and FL enthusiasts who want to own FL products for the "JOY of the HOBBY".
If you look on ebay most FL AFV are going below RRP with a grey prime mover with £160.00 off the RRP and no takers after being relisted twice , we're not talking FOV mass production item that are cheap to buy in the first place so if they start holding the value that a good thing in my eyes !
I assume you have a link to this auction because this I'd like to see....When I look on ebay, all I see is items being listed at retail price. So please post a link to the auction you are talking about as I for one want to see a FL vehicle marked down over 160 Pounds off retail that no one purchased.
