I just got an email from Dragon USA with an invoice attached showing today (10/14/05) as the date that my credit card was charged. Hopefully that means the kit will be here in a few days!

Be interested in what you fellows have to say after you get it. My understanding it was pretty much the same kit as the original initial with the addition of the Feifal airclaners and fender skirts. Any super special goodies that weren't in the initial kit or late version?

I got my email today as well. I also got 3 of the German tank crew kits to finish off a couple of other builds and got free shipping to boot. Now I just need to find room to stash it and than to display it!

I believe it has mesh engine screens, another improvement on the original kit.

you guys are lucky. I pressed the pre-order button and got an order number from Cyber hobbies a couple of days after the earlier discussions here in September. I have twice emailed them in the last week asking for information and haven't heard a peep from them.

Waiting for my credit card account to arrive next week to see whether they have taken the money or not.

Add me to the list of invoice holders. I was a pretty happy camper when that email came.

Well I was walking down the stairs this morning ready to get in the car for another day of drudgery at work when the doorbell rang.

There was the postman with a lovely box from Hong Kong............. 1 DAK tiger for Brian and a big explanation to SWMBO who was standing right behind me while I took delivery - somehow I think it now the Christmas and next birthday present. :-)

Also just a short (and sharp) cross-examination as to the means of payment and a (one-sided) discussion on the dangers of providing credit card info over the net.

BUT I've got my tiger

Woohoo! I just received my Tiger I from Dragon online today!!! The kit looks great and the box is loaded, can't wait to get started on it.

On another note, an e-tailer whom I also ordered from just told me that they are unable to get it so they had to cancel my order.

I received mine tooooo, along with the Late Tiger magic track, too excited. No doubt on the price when you open the box =) Free of charge delivery (as I made the order above $50) absolutely a bonus ;-)

I received mine today. I only took a quick glance at the contents, but what I saw looks very nice. I just wish they had packed the box a little better and sealed it.
