Pumpkin Orange HBG Japanese Pieces

[calvinhobbesliker]

I’m looking for some pumpkin orange HBG Japanese pieces that are currently out of stock:

Japanese Paratrooper
B5N Kate Torpedo Bomber
Ki-57 Topsy Transport Plane
G8N Rita Heavy Bomber
Ryujo Light Carrier
Type 95 Ha-Go Light Tank
Type 89 Cannon Heavy Artillery

Does anyone have some of these willing to sell?

I have been also waiting for some of those items, especially the escort carriers…I sure hope HBG would these back in stock.    I thought I read a post awhile back that they should have more pumpkin items in November?..

I think they did restock in November or December, but somehow all the pumpkin orange versions of those 7 units were bought, leaving plenty of the other colors.

HBG had indicated at the end of December on FB that a restock of Japanese pieces was coming soon.

Hmm, well hopefully it won’t take too long then…

I don’t know about the other pieces, but HBG had a handful of Japanese Paratroopers back in December (found them while sorting through backstock, apparently) - no more than a couple dozen, as I recall. I was fortunate enough to get one set of five in Pumpkin Orange. The rest were gone within a week or two.

Restock Japanese pieces are in quality control as of last week if I am not mistaken. Waiting for paratroopers myself.  :-)

Yeah, I saw that too. Do you know how long it takes between QC and them being in stock?

[Cornelius E]

No idea, but QC on base set pieces was about 2-3 weeks during the holidays, so I would think no longer than that.

I hope it’s only 2-3 weeks.
