Why does this happen?

While checking Biante's website in the morning (US Time of Course), I've noticed the following models reappeared in "Models Just Arrived" Section: 2001 HTR 1/43 scale set and 1/18 scale Mark Skaife's Road car. About a month ago, Moffat's XB #1 showed up. When I clicked on all those items, I've got "Temporarily Out of Stock" message. I'm just wondering why these "sold out" long time ago at Biante items, reappear once in a while.

Occasionaly we receive one or two of a particular model back into stock from cancelled orders.

These items are then put back onto the site and stock is limited to the number that we have available. When these items have been sold the website automatically changes to "Temporarily out of stock".

I went under Find a Model looking up Commodores and found the Sting Red HSV GTS 2001 and a new picture of the Brock/Mezera VR in 1:18th. The Brock picture showing the door open. Looking forward to seeing these in the flesh.

I agree V8ss, they look totally awesome, and look at the price, certainly won't be any complaints from me for these ones,, But does'nt the VT2 look sweet,, also someone that can't wait,, :D

Thank you Richard and V8SS.
Although, I don't collect street cars, Sting Red HSV GTS 2001 looks awesome. I have yet another suggestion for Biante. No offense, but the pics of the models on the site DO NOT provide adequate representation of the model. I believe, that I've raised this issue before, but it desereves another look. Only "New Model Showroom" provides detailed pics of the upcoming releases. Because, I live in the US, I simply cannot stroll over to the nearest hobby shop to see the model "live". Perhaps, Biante should consider adding another section, titled "Detailed View" of the most popular models. Obviously, there is no need to post detailed pics of every V8 Commodore and Falcon, just one set of each will do. I realize, that you don't just sell the models of Aussie cars, but at the same time Biante is the only manufacturer/distributor of those in the world. Therefore, the models of Aussie cars are your "show face" and should be "treated" accordingly.

Sincerely,
Sergey

What I would love to see is in the Models released so far (on FAQ'S) is a hyperlink on each release which then pops up a photo of the model.

Once models sell out it is very hard to find a photo.

Just a thought.

thats a good idea biante1047.
I have tried to do that on my web page, but I have no camera to take photos off my cars.
If anyone can send me pics off each biante 1/18 made would be great start.
