Thanks all! Shipping to the US for the model and a book was $75 USD btw. I'm very excited for this even if I'm now nervous I'll screw it up.

Edit: It took 36 hours. I forgot Monday is a day off for a lot of Asian countries.
For anyone who added the Hobby Mix decal sheet to your order that's the hold-up in receiving an invoice. They sold through their first order, the second order wasn't big enough, and the third order is on the way to them.

If it helps, thats the date I was seeing from a few places recently. Part of why I bought the Meng kit. It exists...now if it would just make it through customs at some point.

Yeah, the NuNu Lotus 99T is becoming the proverbial unicorn. Hopefully, I will get my McLaren MP4/4 from HLJ soon. It has been a rough year and it would be nice to get some retail therapy.

The news I got from Nunu is that the kit is in production and they are waiting for Lotus Classic final approval. So I guess that the kit will be release quite soon now.

Shame and maybe a small error on their part. I have several addresses in Germany I can use but not willing to jump through hoops with VPN just to place an order. Off-topic but I think many times shop owners think too much from their side and hardly at all from the customer's perspective. I'm not even convinced that they ever take anyone unfamiliar with the product or site and have them sit down and play with it for half an hour just to get a new customer's feedback. If they did sites like Hiroboy would put far more effort into their Zero Paints section which is HORRIBLE. Scrolling through ~60 pages of paints to find what I'm looking for? LOLOL. Not happening. Not to mention sites that routinely wipe the contents of your cart at the end of "their" business day. What if I had to do some real work in the midst of my hobby browsing? Do you think I'm starting over the next day? Meh, on to the next site. LOL.
Spot-on. Thank you
