Fazy Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 What is going on with the crosti now available on eBay from down under but not until September in the UK. Come on Hornby!
JeremiahBunyan Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 What is going on with the crosti now available on eBay from down under but not until September in the UK. Come on Hornby!I find it hard to believe. If they had them in stock why couldn't they just take a photograph of the box? Whatever I see is images taken by Andy York on RMweb.
Gordonvale Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 R3274 available on ebay from Forest Miniatures, Dee Why, NSW. At the bargain (choke splutter) price of AU$375 + AU$24 postage! It looks brilliant in the photo.
RB51 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Which is about £178 plus £11 ish p&p, plus I guess import duty etc. R-
choralc Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 There's two Aussie ebay sellers with similar prices (I believe both are ebay shops for retail model stores). One of them has make an offer.
walkingthedog Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 £174 + P&P on UK eBay from Australia. Says it's hard to get and sold out in UK. It certainly isn't sold out. What a load of rubbish. Bet the delivery date is delayed once you order it.
Graskie Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I just had a look at the two Crostis on eBay. The first is a kit modified Hornby 9F and I have sent a suitably worded message to the other guy.
walkingthedog Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I take it back, they have got it in OZ. Maybe they sent it to them first to compensate losing the Ashes.
Graskie Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Yes, the other guy (actually a Sheila) wrote back to me, confirming that they actually have the Crostis on their shelf. Is it perhaps because they are nearer to China than we are? Something for Hornby to answer, methinks.
walkingthedog Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I suggested to her that they hijacked the container ship enroute.
Nick_ Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 The web site say estimated arrival 18/Aug/15 so that's next Tuesday. Perhaps the container sent from China to Australia just arrived first.
walkingthedog Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Without any doubt it arrived first. Much nearer.
Graskie Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Ours are no doubt on a slow boat from China..........
