I would usually order from RPP but that $30 store credit I had to Amain made the price too good to pass up.

On the bright side, it gives me an extra day or 2 for deciding on what body would go best with the IFS.

[raul shabinguez]

Amain doesn't show when these are expected to arrive anymore. I cancelled my order and ordered through RPP.

Man I haven't been this impatient about an RC part in a long while.

[JatoTheRipper]

I cancelled my order at AMain and ordered it at RPP. I'd much rather give my money to RPP anyway.

[Almighty Malach]

My builders kit and IFS will be here tomorrow. RPP ftw!

this is exactly where i'm at.

Mine is still in pre-shipment with the label created. Guessing I won’t have it Friday but like others said, I still have lots of planning to do and a body to pick out so I’ll impatiently try to be patient.

[JatoTheRipper]

Well I just got a voicemail from RPP saying that they had an "inventory mixup" and the IFS kit I ordered isn't in stock...

On the bright side they said they plan to have more "for another day or two"...

[Topher Builds]

Strange how both of them have similar stories.

Hopefully we can all get to building next week.

Edit* looks like it is in transit and will still be here Friday.

I bought mine from Amain last night and it is already in transit, ETA Saturday.

[OSRC]

Today was the expected ship date from Amain per my order, but it did not ship yet.

No biggie, it comes when it comes. I'm ready whenever it gets here...

[B-MOW71]

I just checked my tracking number and the expected delivery date says this Saturday by 8pm.

The tracking history shows that this was shipped out of Charlotte, NC. I think this is the first time I've had a shipment from there. Most of my orders are shipped out of California.

Did you preorder or just order it when it came in stock?

Did you preorder? That's odd since the chat screenshots, which I posted earlier in this thread, said they weren't in stock on the East Coast.

I got an email from RPP that I saw this morning. It differs from their voicemail. The email says the IFS kits won't be in stock until next week whereas the voicemail said they'd have them in a day or two which still would have been this week...

Somebody really screwed up this release. I wonder if it's Associated at fault.

[raul shabinguez]

Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow! I ordered yesterday from RPP when it was still in stock. I guess I got lucky.

No, I didn't pre-order. Yesterday when I saw that Topher posted that his had shipped, I went immediately to Amain's website just to see if they were in stock. To my surprise it showed that they were in stock. I placed the order and my confirmation said that it would be at my house this Saturday.

I really had no plans of buying this kit now as I thought these would sell out fast. I was going to wait a month and then pick one up.

Sounds like there is a lot of confusion on who has them and who does not and when they will ship. I guess I will find out Saturday if mine arrives.

Order, at this point I think at least with Amain, it has to be the VIP rank of the account, I have a platinum account and maybe that's why. They priorities based on rank for preorder items.

Here is my tracking info.

I hope USPS doesn't screw this up!

[shOyx]

Hopefully mine will be here tomorrow (finger crossed)

Well that's ****ed up. I preordered at AMain thinking preorders would be taken care of first. Apparently that's not true. Another reason for me to avoid AMain.
