TH has shipped mine on 19th as well :party: I have ordered it on 3rd of June.

I will finally finish HB Lightning 2 Pro Evo conversion :yipi:

is this from castle directly or though a vendor?

From Tower Hobbies. I have been waiting for MMM avalibilty in Mike's store with no luck :/

I'm proud yours is on the way. Kinda ticks me off though. I ordered mine May 3rd, and Mike's order was in before Tower's and we still don't have ours. They'll all be here soon, which is great, but I dont think Mike was taken care of properly. Just my .02.

So RC Monster Mike...did they show up today? (Wednesday)

TH , order placed June 21st showing order invoiced and being processed in warehouse now .

WOW!!! This is Crazy!!! I too placed my order from Mike on May 3rd hoping to be caught in the first wave. But with Mike being shorted, I'm left still waiting like many others for that order of ~50 he's supposed to be getting any time now. Now I hear Tower is able to fulfill orders that were placed a month later. This is unacceptable, especially since he claims to have had his orders in before them!!! The only solace I still have in the matter is that Mike always ships very fast (usually gets to other side of the country here with-in 1-2 days, much quicker than Tower who only comes half-way across the country).

You guys are blaming mike for something that he has no control over... It sucks that castle is having trouble with the demand for the esc, but blaming mike for the order not getting to him yet is ridiculous.

Mike has one of the fastest shipping. He gets my orders to halfway across the world in 5days and his EMS rates are relatively cheaper. Mike is not to be blamed if the distributor that waits for castle to ship their Item is delayed. TH got it first because the got it directly from CC, so is the distributor that Mike gets it from....

I don't think anyone here is blaming Mike for the delay :wink:

It sounds like most are pissed since Mike put his order in before Tower but they are getting ther MMMs first . I do buisness with Mike and Tower , Mike gets the orders ready and ships to Australia much quicker than Tower but i went with Tower because by the time i was ready to order Mike already had a lot of back orders and i thought i would miss out .

I'm sure everyones orders will be shipping by next week.

So is this blaming Mike or not?

not for sure

Think the guy is trying to say that it's unacceptable that Mike has been shorted on the order.

It is amazing what the impact of having too much information does to people. I've seen this time and time again on different boards, different subjects where particular vendors get involved on them, and make statements, which at the time they are made are complete, true, and we put our trust in them. Then due to circumstances (mostly out of the control of said vendor), delays occur. Said vendor(s) do the best they can to explain and rationalize the situation, and give new dates. BUT...with all things there are other companies and vendors involved, which throw additional delays in. Then you get guys complaining, how unfair it is to them. I really think this is a downside to the information technology available on the internet. Sometimes people are much better off "kept in the dark".

BTW, as I said before, I ordered mine from Tower in early May, and I also do not have it shipped, while others who ordered from Tower a month after me do. Obviously, towers ordering que is not set up first in first out. I've waited this long, what's another week or two going to hurt?

HOLY CRAP ITS IN MY HANDS MMM HURRAY:party::yipi:
