That looks great! However, I do not see a way to pre-order it on the website?

Nevermind, answered my own question. I need to place an order with a dealer and not the manufacturer.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an AU retailer that ships to the US? I have sent several emails out to some dealers, but I wondered if anyone had a recommendation.

I have bought from these people several times over the last 5 years or so.

Parcels were sent with a value of AUS$50 in each case - only one was stopped and customs charges applied (€17.50 all in).
However, I would strongly recommend contacting them considering the customs changes that have been applied recently.
I know you are not in the EU, but I think the rule changes were agreed and applicable to all postal companies in 'western' countries.....

Many thanks. They were one of the ones I emailed.

Their concept of 'Worldwide' seems to be well wide of the mark.
Unless they think that the continent of Australia represents the whole world.

Yep, and they have absolutely lousy correspondence skills. So do some of their retailers as well. I am about to give up on their product line and just stick with the 4 open wheel I have from them.

I was dealing with Vince Diecast, but they went out of business I believe. Then I was dealing with Kollectible Kaos, but after initial responses, they no longer respond to correspondence.

You would think that a company would look to supply as many markets as possible where there is a demand for their products.
I also wrote to all of the big diecast manufacturers based in Australia - and only one replied to say they didn't see any interest overseas.

I would agree with some of the specialty livery, but for the most part, I think their racing livery offerings would do just fine in other markets than just AU.

This one is up on Kollectable’s site for preorder, so I think I will try my luck again.

 

[Turtle]

I like this livery, but on the fence decision-wise.

 

[Turtle]

I agree the livery looks great! Were you able to confirm if the Bartlett Camaro is being sent to you?

Whoops, I completely forgot to relay the information back. Yes, they shipped! It looks like the KK system must get more automated for orders once they receive. Possibly due to the order amount they receive? Not sure, but it should be here in the next couple days from tracking!

 

[Turtle]

I gave in and picked one up - the store only had 2 available.

How do you like the model? Any issues you have found?

 

[Turtle]

It looks great! Mine arrived today as well. Now I am curious about how the paint holds up, but on the open wheel CC, the paint seems to be well applied.

 

[Turtle]

I think there was an older CC version that came with gold and black wheels so you could change them around.

Yep, already placed my preorder for the Bathurst 1983. Love that livery!
