They are beautiful. T]Very hard to stay away. But I must remain strong.

They seemed to appear from no where with no advance notice other than last weeks newsletter. I figured they'd sell out quickly so I woke up Friday morning, compared them, decided I liked 160 the best and placed my order. Got home from work last night and was floored to see the all red models sold out in a matter of hours. I wonder if the folks at F.R. are as shocked as I am.

No they were expecting them to go fast, the red sold out faster because there were 50 of each, 150 yellow/green, so it would take longer. The other thing that made these sell out besides being FDNY and each model has different decorations is the fact it filled a void for ALF collectors who have not seen a good cab since the AMT models. The FDNY Mack CF engines sold out very quickly with the exception of Engine 9 which again had the most made, they still have 4 of those. The Mack R's did sell out fast as well. The order they sold out was Engine 225 "Home of the Brave" Engine 232 "The Tin men",
Engine 160 "The Hillbillies" Engine 36 and finally Engine 65...

Enjoy it when it comes!

I'm glad they sold out! Fantastic releases and collector's are really going to enjoy them

Thanks for sharing
