Last group of 4 # 10s I saw on eBay went for well over $100. Way too high for my wallet. At those prices, rolling my own is looking like the better choice I didn't make.

That is only because they haven't been on shelves for almost 2 years. This container will be the first batch of #10s produced in like 3 years.

I just need a pair of right hand #10s. This container is arriving at a good time for my progress.

Well my patience has just about run out. Was really hoping to have the #10's last month, and then hoping by Christmas. I'm ready to start laying track NOW.
Peco has all C55 readily available. I'll give Atlas till end of next week, if still no sign of the #10's, then screw it it will be the Peco's.

A few orders did get out the door before year end, but not all.  We start inventory on Monday when we get back, which will take most of the week, then we will finish the shipments.

Still waiting to see any listed at any of my usual locations.  Thinking I may need new hunting grounds. Where the hell are the wild #10s?

Same here... what's the hangup at MBK? NSC lists them as in stock now, but given the size of "the" project I need to be more price-sensitive than usual.

Is not $14.95 and in stock a good deal? Shipping can't be any worst than anywhere else. They had them in stock Tuesday when I was there and on-line still shows inventory, which is usually pretty accurate.

Wondering if I should go back and purchase them to sell myself on line and make a profit.

Yes it is... what we're questioning is why our bigger and usually reliable suppliers are not indicating restock. MBK should show hundreds in stock by now if they were to follow the pattern when the new runs of the #5s and #7s were released.

$14.95 is a good price. Lower than some places list the #7s or curved versions. I'm just wondering why MBK and BLW haven't updated their webpages.

I was in Kleins on Saturday and they had none out on the pegboard either, which surprised me. I know they sent a message out saying they were backed up on shipping and such because of the blizzard and some employee turnover, so I'm guessing they have boxes and boxes in the back waiting patiently to be unpacked and entered into the system. I should have asked, but show Saturdays are not the best ones for special requests given how crowded and busy the place is.

Could also be that they ordered a lot more than Atlas could ship them.

MBK had them in stock on Fri 2/5/2016. I know this because their system sent me an email saying "A product you showed interest in is now in stock". It was for the #10 RH. When I clicked on the link, there were less than 10 left so either someone bought a big chunk of their inventory or they didn't receive many.

That's not it - there are still hundreds in our warehouse not spoken for.
