LHS Looooong shipping times

Just went in and ordered a dragon ME163 from my LHS and i thought oh yeah ill have enough time to complete my other projects before it gets here. Asked them how long it would take. Get this…6 MONTHS what the hell? is this normal? or do they just suck?

That does seem like quite awhile. However, I wasn’t aware Dragon was currently producing their ME163 right now. Maybe your LHS’s supplier is out of the kit and won’t be getting any until six months from now?

I assume it was dragon, i asked for it and they came up with 3, the ME163B-1A, Me163S1 and Me163B all in 48 scale apparently. But you know what they say about assumptions, they make an ASS out of U and ME lol. I beleive it was this kit i ordered
