Just got mine today. Nothing opens - no doors, no hood, no trunk. The front tires move side to side and they are pretty lose...

TucErDoc · 08-07-2017, 06:06 PM

I ordered one to the United States a few weeks ago. Can someone tell me how long it took to ship one state side?

reddemon · 08-07-2017, 09:54 PM

Placed order for two LBB m2 in july. Remitted money to them on 23 july.

Till now no news. Called them, NOBODY EVER answers the phone.

Received an email a few days back reminding me to pay for the order so that they can send out the models.

Its damn friggin frustrating. Sent them a few emails clearly stating my bank remittance to them. To no avail. Called them more than 10 times during their office hours, again nobody ever answers the phone.

Any f ideas?

Well I ordered from minichamps on July 27 and it was a pre order or something. I think it may have even said they had like 5 coming, but they didn't have them in stock yet. They sent me a confirm email that they received order and that I had paid. Then on Aug 3rd they sent an email telling me they were preparing the item for shipping and gave me a tracking number.

What should you do? Cancel payment. Re order?

izzyM2 · 08-08-2017, 01:16 AM

I'm on the same boat. Paid for it in full for MG since it says coming in a few days but until now no confirmation of shipping.

This is the reply I got after following up from July 31

Bonjour et merci pour votre message.

The model comes normally at the end of this week. It is confirmed for week 32 by Minichamps.
You will receive an e-mail as soon as the model is in stock.

A bientôt et encore merci,
Sébastien

Ordered mine July 27, received it August 3. It was LBB which showed in stock when I ordered it.

nick_stp · 08-08-2017, 06:11 PM

Based in Australia, LBB ordered on eBay from UK 25 Jul. Arrived 1 Aug.

D CHOI · 08-09-2017, 06:39 AM

Got my BSM this week. Would be nice if it can come with blacked out grills.

I bought from here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263097817067
Sorry but seems like it's sold out.

The seller only has the M2 Safety Car available now. But you might shoot them a message and ask the availability.
I suppose you're after LBB? just did a search on eBay, don't see any blue ones. Only black and two of the safety cars.

It's a French company. In France they only work a few hours a week. They've probably all gone home for the rest of the year.

Didn't they send you a key ? Have you tried checking the tyre pressures ?

No worries. Yeah just message them, and you can regularly check eBay to see if there's any blue one pops up.
https://www.miniatures-minichamps.co...155026101.html This place also had it at the time when I ordered on eBay. Maybe you can also keep an eye on it.

Erk.... I think you're right Reddemon ! Based in Aachen, Germany, and right next to the Belgian border. I now have to take back all my derogatory comments about the French ha ha ha ! They do seem to have websites in Belgium, France and the UK though.
