    Nice! A few initial thoughts from me on this prototype.

    like: wheels, seats, steering wheel, paint finish.

    Room for improvement: windscreen itself and inside of screen surround, inside of doors (where lock striker is) should be body colour not interior colour and ideally lock metallic colour. And it needs carpets. Hate to say it but looks like a large bburago model in these areas, whilst there’s nothing wrong with that as such at this price point it should be and can be better. Let’s hope some of these issues get addressed for production. If they do I may just be tempted.

    We just recently contacted everybody who had not requested a specific number, if they wanted to request one. The closing date for that was yesterday. We will now be double checking to list and then send everyone's number out to them.

    We are now going to start sending out everyones numbers. Bear with us as there is a lot of individual emails to write! 🙂 

    Thanks for the update Lou 😎

    Very tempting but...

    Hopefully a crystal cover will be an option for this, I agree it would complete it nicely. Perhaps Agora will offer something nearer the end of the build or maybe one of the mod companies might (Modelmodz?)

    It all comes down to quality

    Thanks! We are working hard to make this a great quality model. We of course welcome any suggestions from you guys to make this a great model!

    Just a couple of initial observations:

    windscreen frame and exhausts on the prototype look very plastic / satin finished not chrome / stainless effect as per the original. It would be nice to see these improved for production

    also the tyres, I’m not sure why but they just don’t seem quite right. They could do with being softer and less plastic looking possibly more of a satin finish with less definition on the Goodyear logos 

    appreciate all of the above is something that we as builders could address but it would be good to see a greater level of realism. 
     

    having said that. Super pleased you are making this available. Thank you 

    Love to build But not happy

    If the situation right now affects someone that badly they need to be buying food and essential items to survive, pay their rent ect. Not buying a cool model it's called priorities it's not the manufactures problem.

    427 people out there world wide Can afford it just fine. 

    Pay to play or don't.

    Agora is doing nothing wrong here.

     

    Chill dude, I was not saying Agora are doing anything wrong, far from it as a business model what they are doing with the LE makes total sense and those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to justify the spend will and have done so already. However as can clearly be seen from the feedback both here and on other platforms many others would have paid extra for the LE if it were not for the large initial immediate payment. Many people are finding it tough out there at present and have to prioritise as you rightly say, but doing builds like these help out massively during stressful times as a much needed distraction and I know Agora are a customer focussed business and look to keep their customers happy. I guess it depends how many of the 427 sell and how quickly. There is always the standard version which overall is not actually much different in price particularly over 24months.

    I also did not specify the number when ordering, but later contacted Agora models via email, the information was accepted from me!

    Thanks I have also done this now. Great customer service from Agora to be fair.

    Love to build this  as the collectors edition. But not happy with the option  to get it. Even though there's only 427 of them. at this time  its very hard to come up with 600 dollars for some people  these days cause of the world situation. It is nice to save money in the end. will most likely build this at some point but  would've  done the collectors if there had been more buying options or ways to order this as a collectors version  

    Fair point well made. Maybe the guys will come up with some alternative options for the LE given the current global situation. An additional premium per month over the 12 and 24 month options maybe, like some other companies do?

    Can you advise how agora pro members go about choosing their own number? Do you contact them in order of when they placed their order for example or does the customer have to make contact to request a number?

    Build instructions for IOS?

    Is it just me or can you not access / view the instructions download on IOS devices? On a windows pc the links are clear and easy to use but I can’t see them at all on my iPhone or iPad (which I am relying on at home for the next few weeks) am I missing something? If not is this something that could be rectified moving forwards
