This model has been on SPF's 'wish list' for for along time and this project was rummored several years ago, so the anticipation of its release is high, especially given the apparent limited run. So, when the update can of worms was opened, and a company "representative" says there is going to be an announcement on such and such a date, people are looking forward to that date.

My issue is, if the product is not ready, that's fine. I'm all for putting out the best product that you can. But someone from GHQ should have said something..., even if it was like, 'there will be no more updates', either here or on their own forum. Otherwise people are left to assume, and every one knows what happens when you assume. By not responding on said date, GHQ, opened themselves up to questions, whether we feel those questions were appropriate or not.
Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Hello all,

I will provide an update and details on how to order later today.
My apologies to GHQ for leaving them holding the bag so to speak these last couple of weeks, but my wife comes first.
Period.

More information pending,

Sending CC information in an email is a bad,BAD idea, as email is plain text and not secured en route.  Is there a way to pay through GHQ or something?
Cheers,

And now hundreds of modelers eagerly wait for the lottery results of who "won" to be posted. After which the offers of the have-nots to buy it from the haves will commence.
Model railroading is FUN.

Alternate version:

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."
