We (Limited edition users) did pay Agora upfront for packs 1 till 5 inclusive with the idea (I will not say Agora Promise) to start on pack 6 as of February, so paying in January. Clearly as some are now charged for Pack 5 and 6 isn't even on the horizon yet it seems they deviated from the planning. Again, some clear communication from the Agora team is missing, but maybe they just think corona can be the excuse for not communicating (or maybe they are understaffed).
Or don't want to communicate with the costumers.

not that I know of, though i was told that pack 4 and 5 should be shipping sometime this week or next...I think they are trying to get both in this way they can get pack 6 out by feb and have us back on track
Pack 4 is in the hands of the Belgian customs, it takes 20 or 24 days to release the goods.
Normally Pack 4 was sending in January and 5 in February, but they take (Agora )the money
a couple days in advance before they send the parts.
The payment is always around the 20th of the month.

Did you or anyone in the US get pack 4? Sam at Agora said pack 4 would be sent out in January and pack 5 in February, next billing would be at the end of February for LE folks.

Hi Pierre,
We are told by Royal Mail that this is normal due to the initial delays caused by Brexit. We should see the tracking update this week.
Many thanks
Let us hope so !!!!

So wondering why they are keeping some aside while releasing others. Maybe they are already building yours for you? (Sorry, bad joke).
Nice to hear Pack 5 is taking form but not pleasant to pay while not received the previous pack though.
It's not a bad joke, i was thinking the same way !!!!!

But more communication would indeed be welcomed, even just a slight little message there will be a delay for x or y reason is enough for me to adapt my expectations. I don't ask and expect miracles in current situations.
That sounds like very good news, mine is still with the customs.
Like you said luck is the main factor, if your goods are in the hands of the Belgian customs.
Enjoy your build.

I think that i will finish this model, but seriously think it over not to subscribe on an other
model of Agora.
They did'n make any effort to give some reaction on my question about what is going
to happen after the brexit , no communication at all on this forum.
If i make a little sum, i pay monthly 132 euro multiply by 12 months give 1584 euros,
with taxes and etc. maybe 20 to 25% surplus, than you pay more or less 2000 euros,
or more for this model.
The question you must ask yourself is, the model that worth ?????
And another inconvenience fact is that it takes much more time to get your packet
Plus no communication at all, but maybe i am nagging and a little bit angry !!!!!

all you overseas guys get everything 1st...sucks for us here in the states lol enjoy your build
I don't think so, my pack n°4 is in the hands of the Belgian customs, and it could
be 20 or 24 working days before it could be delivered (customs in Belgium works very slow)

Mine is also presented to the customs, i get the same explanation on the site
of bpost.
And Agora keep the silence, still no reaction.
I think that they now that the most of us don't terminate the subscription,
because if you stop and cancel the subscription you don't have nothing and
spend money on a incomplete model. Not so nice from Agora but that's business !!!!

Tracking for N° 4 received yesterday.
I hope that pack N° 4 comes to Belgium without any brexit surprises !!!!!!!

Looks great !!!!

What is going to happen after the first of January, when the brexit is a fact ?
What is going to happen with the EU country's like Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Italia and other not UK residents, i believe
we must pay a lot of taxes on or following packs (income taxes, VAT etc.)
Please a reaction from Agora !!!!!!

Pack 3
in Cobra Chat
I receive a message from Paypal that Agora takes the payment for pack 4 on 22 december.
@ Joep, i hope you get your pack 3 very fast now, corona is now an excuse for every delay !!!!

Yes please, Formula 1 cars so much choice, Lotus, Tyrrell, Shadow, Hesketh, McLaren.
So many cars that were never modeled in scale, and i don't need many moving parts,
just a fine detailed model.

Hello Agora team and other forum members,
If Agora decides to bring a E-type Cabrio, to my personal opinion a very good idea.
But than i hope that it's not a clone of the Model Space Jaguar E-type with another body, because that model is more a big toy
made by Eligor than a model. An example the engine of that model is complete fantasy, and than for that price you paying !!!!
I understand that firms like Agora and other deAgostini's bring a kind of models that everybody or almost
everybody can construct, but of you simplify it the original until the niveau of a big Burago that is going to far for me.
And i know that nobody force you to buy these things, but in most cases you don't now what you're buying,
you only see pictures of complete models.
This is my opinion.

General question about the 1:8 Cobra 427 model
in Cobra Chat
Posted
Hi Pierre, i think you got already your answer, the engine is complete and
like some other kits, no start motor and dipstick tube and hoses.
If you want to add them, you must fabricate them yourself !!!!!
Enjoy your build, i see these kind of kits as a base to start, and
you can add as many details as you like to make a model of the Cobra.
Kind regards !
