Has anyone else tried to preorder the TB items from corgi? I tried and this is what I got on preordering TB1,2,3,4 and Fab1: In the basket are 3 items at £19.99 each = subtotal £19.99 (??) , Preorder total = £49.94. This is made up from: (basket total) £19.99, (delivery) £4.98, (preorder TAX!??) £6.66, (preorder total) £49.94. Then the Corgi site tells me that I have to pay £24.97 immediately. It also tells me that if I spend an extra £10.01 then I will qualify for free p&p. Can anyone make sense of this? What is this preorder tax which I've never heard of before? Cheers.
Hi Woodsy. Yes I manged to get the Vivid FAB1 from the new series. Though it is all plastic it's a nice toy. The pink is very pale though and reminds me of the skin tone of a child's doll. The only Vivid toy I've not been impressed with so far is their TB Shadow as the shape is wrong, particularly the front fuselage. Looking forward to their TB5 this summer. The mega large TB3 is a bit too big for me, I've nowhere to put it. :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't pre-ordered one Derek but maybe other readers have.
DeleteOops, I think Corgi have messed these up. The Dinky versions looked much better 50 years ago!
ReplyDeleteGod is it really 50 years ago? I suddenly feel old! Have you got the new Vivid FAB1 from Thunderbirds Are Go Yorkie?
