Parts are good so far. Haven't started assembly yet, but I did take a few out to look at. Not too keen in the front window/canopy. Its not horrible but could be a bit better. I will go into better details in the diary when I start building. Lots of tiny little parts, but its packed with so much detail.

Are you using the private warehouse feature? I am doing that so they dont charge me shipping for just a couple of issues.I will let them keep a few issue before they mail them out.

Yes I use the private warehouse feature. However I was in a hurry to get these so I didn't wait to ship with other items I am waiting on as I won't get those till march and may(preorders) It doesn't matter though, these are pretty good size boxes. The box I received was about the size of a normal delivery for my monthly Falcon parts, and both issues took up the whole box with no room to spare.

I have to figure out how often to have them ship.Do yuo just keep checking to see if they have new issues or do they let you know when the new issues are in stock? Carl

I just keep checking back. They should show up as a pre-order before they are avalible. At least that's the norm with everything else they sell. So you know, they will only hold things in the warehouse for 60 days. After that they will automatically ship it the cheapest method avaliable and charge you via your chosen billing method. So you have to ship at least every 60 days.

Private warehouse allows you to order stuff and have HLJ keep it until you are ready to ship.It works great if you want to order a few things and just ship them all at once.

I went through HLJ because I doubt it will come to USA.I know Thunderbirds is huge in Japan and since the reboot (which I have mixed feelings about) in UK I think it may do well if it is released in UK.I have no idea if that will happen or not.
