Does anybody know what's going on with Pioneer? I have a number of versions on pre-order at my local hobby shop, they now tell my they have little hope of seeing them despite having paid for them in 2012. My online source for cars hasn't seen anything yet either. What's up?? I've seen cars for sale at Pendal and Inaslot which now I understand is Pioneer's site. Are there any other shops in this situation? I would like to support my LHS but....
Thanks, Doug

It's locked and the key was thrown away, but this thread is worth a read.

Sorry didn't know, even though I have been into slots for many years I am new to some of these forums. I guess most of the info I need I was getting from friends and at the hobby stores I visit. Was just looking at Pioneers site, posts on their Facebook page indicate my LHS is not alone in their plight.

Jeremy, PowerSlotCars has them (though not at their normal discount). I don't know about anyone else.
I got a note from Jules on FB a bit ago and things are slowly coming up to speed.
As fas as LHS sales, it appears that some of the U.S. suppliers may have lost faith in Pioneer during the transition from China to UK (understandable from a business point of view) and dropped them. If one of these suppliers is the source for a local store's Pioneers then that might explain the prepay/no car situation. Just :twocents-mytwocents:

Well, before this goes further I am locking it. I don't want a big uproar over nothing again.

Question was asked, answers given.
