    Still waiting on the restock of the 90-degree 5mm peg adapters.

    This probably loses Nonnef more business than gains. As long as the postage costs are covered (which everyone is willing to pay), I don’t see why the limit has to be so high. $25-$30 would be much more realistic and reasonable. Someone once said to me that it is easier to sell ten items at £20 than five at £40. Same value, but more stock is sold. Don’t be greedy, basically.

    Just my take on it... From a business standpoint, shipping a package requires tracking. The cost to track a small package, and likely insurance, is too cost prohibitive for both parties involved.

    Not if there is demand. Supply and demand. You’d likely still be paying the same amount for a $50 dollar package as a $30 dollar package, as these items are virtually weightless. And, as I said, people understand that postage has to be paid.

    My guess is it's just more involved and not worth the effort. I hate shipping overseas. You have to fill out customs forms and some systems won't let me pay for postage online for non-US address. Compared to some of the store software which does everything I need by calculating postage and creating a label. At this point only time I sell overseas is to people I have already done business with.

    Nice, mine aren’t slated to arrive till Friday. Though on the bright side I finally got a use for the swoop wing extensions I got way back when

    Did he ever say if he was going to do a clear Galactic man set. Would love to get a set in red.

    I love those wing extensions. Too bad they don't match a lot closer in color to the original plastic.

    *I chromed my extensions and the wings, but it was a PITA.

    I grabbed the guns from a rid15 thermidor to use as wing cannons, helps hide the color differences

    I really hope the Dinobots set goes back in production. I made a mistake not getting some Swoop wings + missiles. Or hell just put those back in production.

    I picked up the Sideswipe, Red Alert and Hound sets (different times since I know some are now sold out) -- really like the worksmanship for a 3p item, solid plastic and clean look compared to some other 3p add-ons I've picked up that don't look finished and have rough edges and all that.

    Anybody else order from the Red Alert/Sideswipe restock still waiting on their order to ship? I got a label creation notification last week but hasn't been sent out yet.

    Anybody else in the same boat? Just curious.

    I'm in that boat - my shipping label was created on the 19th and it's sat ever since. :( 
    I've never had it take this long to ship out from Nonnef.

    Really? I ordered the day they went up on July 12th, like within an hour of them being listed. I know it said there would be delays, but I'm surprised it hasn't even moved when others have gotten theirs already.
    Maybe because I got another Sideswipe kit too and it had the mold-alignment issue. Eh, we'll see.
