Many of the kits say 5+ in stock.  Not sure how many “+” actually means, but there may still be some left next week.

As for postal delays due to the pandemic, there is a link to follow from the store website to show what countries are ok to ship to from Germany.

I take the view that plus 5 means less than 10!

5+ seems to be exactly what it says on the tin. the photo of the truck unloading (on Facebook) had lots of large boxes of goodness. i'd guess this is more of WNW catching up on stuff ordered before COVID-19.

more good MBK news: they told me that on one order, i get free shipping because i ordered over 450 Euros. free shipping.. TO THAILAND. wow. fantastic deal. makes sense that they'd be big enough to get a favorable deal with DHL; my largest client moves servers and switches around from continent to continent using Fedex. without a sweet deal they'd go broke.

After debating, I also placed an order for a Goring DVII, the postage did seem a bit much to the States but I figured it was now or never. There was no VAT as it was exported.

Thank you for the heads up.  Was able to get the DVII, a Camel Le Rhône, and Harry Tate duellist.
Shipping high to US.  But happy to buy.

I saw someone had put up exact numbers on another site. These could be different by now so I won’t post here.

After the feeding frenzy following the Wingnuts' Hong Kong warehouse stock sold to the German model retailer, I now look forward to a consequent increase in the number of Wingnut kit builds on the Forum :)

I'm mindful that buying up every Wingnut kit in the world will not bring them back, but also supporting other manufacturers such as Copper State Models, Roden and Special Hobby and Eduard etc will encourage those companies still producing kits to invest in new aircraft kits for us.

Yes, I am very interested in what CSM does as an encore to the excellent Nieuport 17/21/23 series.  I have a few of these and look forward to the RFC version!  I will have French, British, Belgian, Italian and Russian examples in my case.

Wise words Dave.
The CSM purchases get pushed back as the plastic budget goes into the last of WNWs

they got the number by putting more than 100 in the shopping cart and then it tells how many you can actually buy (up to 100).

Andys HQ in the US are apparently getting a truckload also. i filled in my spreadsheet from MBK, only thing left to want is the long lost OAW D.VII and the UWD. a batch of CSM Nieuports is next, when my bank account recovers.

I found out that Andys HQ is the sister company to MBK, which makes sense when you order from Andy's the charge shows up as MBK. I didn't put the two together until Andy told me lol. Perhaps it's possible they shipped from the same HK warehouse?

That's interesting about the link between MBK and Andy's HHQ.

It makes sense.  A while ago Andy went over to Germany and visited the company, shot some videos form their warehouse, etc.  At the time he didn't mention it was pursuant to some sort of joint business venture. 

Also makes sense that Andy and MBK are getting these large lots of WNW kits.

I still see that Sprue Bros. has nothing new coming in, which seems strange.

There was a Video post maybe around mid-2019 (actually Nove 2019) on youtube announcing the partnership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fof9MFa2l04

It could have been the case that MBK got in first and ordered everything that was available in the overseas warehouses prior to the other distributiors.

I'm hoping to get the few odd kits to round out my WNW stash. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
