It's coming.....
just got this semi fortunate email yesterday:
"Dear Andrew,
I'm so sorry to have to be writing this email. Unfortunately we have been advised by distribution this morning of a substantial price increase for the Blitzway Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Cadillac 1/6 Vehicle. We had been assured back in January that the price increase would only affect any new orders, but this has now changed and we have just been advised that all orders will be affected. Whilst we can absorb some of the cost, we simply don't have the margin to accommodate it all. I'm afraid that this will mean that the price of your order would increase by £225. We understand that this is a substantial increase and we will happily provide you with a full refund for any money paid if you would prefer to cancel your pre-order. Otherwise we can keep you pre-order in place and send a custom invoice for the extra cost.
Please could you let me know how you would like to proceed as we need to confirm final numbers with distribution?
Best regards
Christine"
I replied saying I will pay the money (begrudgingly) and then asked if the rumours were true that the car is soon to be released and got this reply:
"Blitzway are planning to start shipping in March, so we are expecting to take delivery at some point in April. "
