Personally with about 20 concurrently ongoing subscriptions or so starting or ending. I’ve had thoughts of the way the parts work companies have been. At least with agora the models can be completed in 12 months vs the deagostini(fanhome, modelspace,altyia) and the now defunct EM. Who dragged them out for 24 months. I did do a 6 month start on the zero fighter and that was nice. But if your only doing one model I could see why some like that or people who want to have something to do in spare time. We all have different needs and budgets. I agree that the EM thing soured a lot of people. I see my 4 models they are starting up again. Are still going to drag out for over a year. But we still got to deal with delivery companies that can take their own time. Weather , disasters and customs. Along with the fact that. From payment to warehouse we all end up in a queue. So if you got 5 people working one day they might get 200 packages sent out vs another day being. Only 120 if 3 people work. As a example. Not to mention that they are shipping multiple models and they don’t work on. The weekends. You also have to think about some places only have pick ups going out certain days. Like EM use to only ship on Wednesday and Fridays. Things are getting back to normality in some places it’s just taken time
