a lot of people were giving out about sudden releases i must admit i did too but i suppose we had nearly 2 years warning on the 42 project with deliveries spread over the last year which was handier. the a class we have been able to pre purchase for the last year plus now. when you look the 121s have only been up a few months to buy and already 3 are sold out. Whatever IRM bring out new in the future if its a loco 6 months minimum from launch to availability is probably best to allow people pay for them over the 6 months. small items that cost under 20 are easy enough for instant notice. the same with freight and passenger sets we need a couple of months advance payment time . This also allows IRM to have capital in advance .The other option would be a return of the original top up gift card especially as you can only use 1 gift card per order and most people wouldnt have a 300 plus euro gift card off a freight set but may have 3 100 euro ones.no matter what IRM do I will always support them but anything they can do to increase sales by making them easier the better.
