Nick, Make no mistake about it. It doesn't required OVER two years to produce 100 or 200 models, hand built pieces or not. I am not interest with the ONE model shown in Cleveland. That maybe one, or two, or three units that he may have as a "show piece." There is still many of us that have not received or heard from him! Get with it. It is over two years and heading into the third. As a business man, he should know what it takes to start and finish a project -- production run. If his production orders can't be met, he should inform us or keep us up to date when it will be available. The only binding point to this deal, that he had with us as "bait," is that these kits are "LIMITED KITS and NUMBERED." So many of us has bitten our tongues to keep our mouth shut and is hoping for the best that we will get it. Yes, I have ALSO taken into the account that he was ill (okay, give him nine months of convalesce time) that is still over a year and a half of time to produce the model kits. Does he need more time? JUST TELL US, I am a reasonable person and I am sure many of the others are too. So, have you heard from him? Has anyone heard from him? I haven't. After my first posting yesterday, there were at least four others that followed my posting and they had the same complaints. They are the TWO SAME ISSUES. First issue. None of us has gotten the model. If they did, they got a few parts, not a full kit, if they have gotten anything at all. Second. I and many others haven't heard from him, no matter how many times we have written or called him. BTW. Have you tried his website? http://www.totalimmersion.com/delorean/dmcbulletentry.html An old proverb: "Bird (model) in hand is better then two in the bush (promises)." I maybe wrong. I may get my model...................so, until I get the model "IN MY HANDS," I stand firm on my statement: "Lost of time, energy and money."

I did, however get a reply from him about the kits. I'm not sure how long ago this was, but it couldn't have been more than a few months ago. Do any of you know much work it is to create a De Lorean model as painstakingly as Lee has done? I know its been a long time, but I really think we should give Lee a little slack on the model kits. Kayo Ong, why do you consider this a lost investment? You will get your model kit. If you went to Cleveland this past June, you would have seen the special edition model kit Lee created for the Cleveland event, so the kits do actually exist. It just takes time. Just my 2 cents. >>
