2 hours and 34 minutes actually.
Eastern standard time from 5pm to 7-34 pm. Covered people who have work computers and people who have home computers.
There will be a normal order supply when the models arrive, but not many.
As posted before, the website has a supply and in this case it was heaps, but it is a popular subject, so for pre orders, its gone.
The newsletter will advise when the last batch will go on. Looks like around December 2nd.

Why can't Biante in future place some of these cars that they know are going to go fast in a "SPECIAL HOLDING AREA"
where those who missed out have a chance to apply for a number by a certain time(which could be advertised on site) and a "LOTTO" STYLE DRAW of all persons who missed out.The person who wins the draw has 24 hrs. to confirm & pay for item or it goes to the next drawn no.We all do this style of thing every week in lotto but this time you do not pay UNLESS YOU WIN.
JUST A THOUGHT ....JAMIE

The simple answer Jamie... cause it is too hard.
Biante are in the business of producing, distributing and models... they find the fairest, easiest, best suited method to do this. Make it too hard and they won't sell them at all on the site and you will all have to deal with the dealers and wolves...

well I suppose if you order a Holden,can't supply, go over the road and buy a FORD....(BETTER CAR)..OR TRY COLLECTING MATCHBOX..There has to be a solution to this problem,I live in Cairns qld. we have only 1 supplier of Biante, a jeweller shop, no option if he has not got it,pay through the nose on BUY & SELL.
ANY WAY LETS NOT GIVE UP......JAMIE

I hear you mate, I have one shop that is about 350 miles from me but they only get a few models. My next option is about 12,326km away. You just do whatever you have to do to get what you really want... time to get a few friends in other cities or get a good dealer that will look after you.

Jamie and Zorak, you know (and so does your shopkeeper) months in advance whats coming. Ask your dealer to order one for you..thats not too complicated.
Biante website seems to have a certain amount of stock like your shop...only difference is they have NO idea you want them to supply you one...your shop does.
Why should Biante have to re design the web site to run a lucky dip/lotto draw when your shop can order and deliver to you with no problems.

ducks when you said that i just had to find out
What is the circumference of the Earth? How far around is the Earth?
The average radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles (6,374 kilometers).
The equitorial diameter of the Earth is about 7,926 miles.
The ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is written as the symbol pi.
Pi is approximately 3.131592.
Therefore, to determine the circumference from the diameter given above:
equitorial diameter x 3.131592 = equitorial circumference
| |
7,926 x 3.131592= 24,820
| |
The earth has a circumference of approx. 24,000 miles.
More precisely the circumference of the earth
at the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km.
...40 076 klms in fact
