Find a model section

[biante1247]

Hi everyone,
I just hit XB in find a model and the 1/18 Apollo blue and the Moffat 33 car showed up as sold out. Did Biante find a few of these laying around the place and put them back up for sale??
I haven't seen them advertised for I don't know how long and it just seemed strange to me that the Moffat no1 XB which recently sold out is nowhere to be seen. Did I miss out on a deal?

Hi Paul

Last week (late Tuesday night Bangkok time, early Wednesday morning WA Time) I did a search for Australian models and found that the Moffat Brut 33 and 77 ATCC XB and the Apollo Blue XBGT were all on the Site but all stated only a few left. The two Moffat cars had moved to Temporarily out of stock, but the Apollo Blue XB was still available. The Apollo BLue XB did have a comment saying, be quick only three left. I ordered one and the next day it said sold out so I suspect I got the last one.

I went and looked through the latest news pages and there was a notice in there about Biante doing a bit of a cleanup and finiding a few of these models still around or that they had received some of these models that had not been sold (maybe from a shop that closed?) or something like that. This notice was dated 14/5/02.

I don't think they were avaialble for the last month because I can't beleive they would take that long to sell but the news article seems to suggest that they were. I had been a bit slack and hadn't actually searched lately because I didn't expect anything new (was relying on info in the nesletters etc) so don't really know if they sat there for weeks waiting for someone to buy them. But I now think it is worth searching regularly.

I'd also be interested in knowing when these showed up as available again...were they really there for a month??

Anyway, I am happy enough, I got the Apollo Blue GT (already have the 77 ATCC Moffat XB can live without the Brut 33 Falcon).
