Other than the Camels, most of these have been lingering on the MBK site for 3+ weeks. 

 

They saw the feeding frenzy in the states and so are shifting the also-rans in Germany to Andy's to clear them out in 5 minutes flat.

If there were some Fokker D.VIIs, I'd grab a couple right quick, but with most being long sold out, I knew there was little to zero chance of that, and the rest really don't appeal to me anyway.

After their last sale, I think I'll pass on the feeding frenzy.

Agreed.  I think at this point, most of the buyers are speculators who intend to flip them later for higher prices rather than people who actually intend to build.

The amazing thing to me is the Camels.  I would have thought they would have sold better.

[Dave Williams]

Only thing I can think of on the Camels is that they were a relatively late release, and maybe they overproduced so they would last longer based on how quickly earlier kits sold out.  Or maybe they just weren’t as popular as other kits like the Fokker D.VII.

...for what it's worth, at 6:20 PM Pacific Time, all of the pre-order kits are sold out, except for the AMC Dh.9 ...  

 

Cheers!

Meh.  Got the last of what I could want from Weta Workshop yesterday.  One last Camel, and a post-war Bristol.

... And - - they're gone! 

 

Good job US consumer! Doing the heavy credit-card lifting when lazy euro modelers shirked their fair share!  We can always count on you!  

 

But seriously... the Camels were produced late in the game but were selling well, especially the ships Camel which is always first to go in these now regularly scheduled events (it's starting to resemble Elton John's retirement tour). Personally I like the lines of the Snipe much better, just something about it, trollish like a Chaika.

Great Hobbies in Canada just got some kits in yesterday. 

 

The Camels are now gone but they still have some other kits.

If you're in Canada, they have free shipping over $99. 

 

And yes, the prices are in Loonies.

I will wait for Meng to release the W.29,

It's getting to be like whack-a-mole.
