Hey gang ,

Can anyone please clarify when the Aussie builders of the Deago Millennium Falcon should be receiving their 100A ‘ missing ‘ greeblies pack ?

Asking here because the Deago Australian Forum hasn’t been accessible for over two months + now .

Apparently , when I contacted Bissett Magazine - Australian Direct distributor - of DeAgostini in February , they were supposed to be shipped out with the final #100 pack .

They obviously weren’t , and when having contacted them again approximately 1 month ago they ( it varies on who you get to speak with over the phone ! ) was told the parts were in the warehouse and would again be shipping out soon . They haven’t to date .

Hence my requesting further ( hopefully accurate ) information from someone who can approach Deago directly on behalf of Australian subscribers .

It’s frustrating on so many levels that the arrival of these parts in similar regions , have been available for sometime now , and we’re still not given correct information regarding them over here .

Thanks in advance ,

Regards ,

Ged

Hey Tom ,

Thanks for taking the time to reply . Just to clarify first though ... I’m not a direct subscriber .

My comments and observations are made after corresponding with other Australian Deago MF builders on another website called the RPF . An Aussie thread was established there also , prior to the item becoming available in Oz 2016 .

The situation as I’ve reported is accurate .

Bissett are the official Deagostini distributors over here and direct subscribers are handled / supported by them .
Having the option , I subscribed via my local newsagent ( handled by Gordon &Gotch ) who couldn’t help with these specific parts , nor the missing ‘ replacement ‘ cockpit .

I had to contact Bissett over the phone and explain the situation myself . Thankfully , the person I spoke with understood what I was referring to and I had the 3 piece cockpit sent out to me fairly quickly mid last year .

This 100A greeblies pack was also ‘ explained ‘ over the phone almost 1 1/2 months ago to a person at Bissett ( Sonia ) after I’d collected my #100 final instalment of the MF magazine .
I was told they had them in the warehouse , and one would be sent out to me when the direct subscribers final issues were ready to send out . They received those over two weeks ago .

The few direct subscribers that have posted on the RPF recently , have similar issues regarding the 100A parts .
They were told that they’d receive the 100A pack with their final issues pack with #100 . According to them , they received the magazines & parts , but no 100A .

If you still need my full name and address I’m happy to pass it on to you . Bissett already has them , along with my phone number !?

So , that’s it my friend .

We know the Deago Aussie Forum is down , which is where this matter would have been brought up if it were operating , but as I stated in my previous post , we’re just hoping to get some ‘ honest / accurate feedback ‘ from someone who can speak on our behalf regarding these items .

I’m sure the ladies at Bissett are passing on information as instructed , when they understand the issue , but they’ve been sending out mixed messages .

Please , any help / assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated .

Cheers Ged .

G’day Tomick ,
