Everybody's doing it.  Atlas, Bachmann/Spectrum, Life Like and Stewart.  
All new models are LIMITED RUNS, by advance reservation only, and once 
released, gone forever.  It's a tough world out there and things are 
really tight.  We are having more and more trouble getting the new 
releases from these manufacturers to even fill our reservations.  
The only advise we can offer is to order early. Get your advance 
reservation in to us as early as possible so we can get them for 
you and no one's disappointed.  We had to scramble to get enough to fill 
our reservations on the last two releases (Atlas and Life Like) and 
in one case we have none left and very few of the other left after 
fulfilling our reservations.  If we have any left, it's first come, 
first serve. We have tried to order for inventory, but the allocation 
process of some of the manufacturers/distributors has left us short 
of our goals.

Visit our main page to see details on the models in stock.
