Totally agree, I have the "original" new rocket. I have the carriages that came with that and the wagon pack. I'd love to add the mail coach and the new covered one to my collection, but I am not going to buy two more rocket packs. Hopefully we will see some movement!

My 3 direct from hornby arrived this morning! They look pretty good (although I haven't taken them out the box yet). I am chuffed I'll be able to run a full rocket rake now!

Just had my email from hornby to say they are in the factory and about to be dispatched. This is one of the few things I ordered direct and I am glad I did. Having said that they are showing as having 4 in stock on hornbys page, this does seem to be a real mess! Glad to have my 3 to run a full rocket formation, but will probably leave at least one in it's box now

I came here to say the same! (https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/l-mr-open-third-class-carriage-era-1.html) but my Hornby pre-order hasn't shipped, I haven't had a cancellation notification either. Anyone know what's happening? Have they decided to do a general release?

I am not denying any of that, and of course the situation is difficult for everyone, the email I recieved from hornby (18/3/20) suggested that all the locos were in the warehouse and were being disptached and they would finish shipping them out by the end of March. It also mentioned they were waiting on pin badges for the welcome pack and that they were beginning to dispatch them. I didn't post in here to start a fight, just to reflect my experience as a new member was the same as others and it was reassuring to know I wasn't the only one.

I joined on 21/02/2020. I have recieved my first magazine, but am still waiting for the loco, badge and membership card. I emailed a few weeks ago and was told that they would be on their way. Glad to see I am not the only one waiting since the beginning of the year!
