Plarail March 2020 Releases

Yep It showed up 10 mins after i comment but it was already full. Is there something there that they have early access for some people before others see it or do they not hold much stock?

I'm still waiting for Lorenzo and Beppe & Gina to show up

I think they put in an order early from their Plarail suppliers for x amount to initially have in stock. Don't know if they have the same number every time or try to judge how many to have when the item is released. For most Pre-Orders you pretty much have to be there in the first few hours before all that they have coming are spoken for but it is First Come First Served.. Then once the initial shipment comes in and they satisfy to pre-orders they order more. So I think they will have them in after their release. If you click the 'Notify When Available' button they Email you when they are back in stock so you can buy them then but you aren't obligated to so it doesn't hurt clicking that.

I just really don't understand the reasoning for them to re-use model numbers...it just doesn't make sense to me. Aren't there enough number and letter combinations for them in Japan. You would think the number would be retired with the item?..Just don't get it.

The numbers that newer products are designated to are very important information for retired products research as you collect the catalogues.

You see thats what I dislike about the reuse of model numbers, it takes away from what the vintage numbers brought.

If you click the 'Notify When Available' button they Email you when they are back in stock .....

With the added benefit that it'll give them some idea how many to re-order. Having said which, I have a feeling that some items which sold out at the reservation stage have never been re-stocked?
