A Look at Our Upcoming Pre-Orders

Pre-orders have become normal in today's business world. It helps manufacturers gauge how much interest there is in a product. It also lets fans support their favorite brands and make sure not to miss out on a limited edition release.

The trouble with pre-orders is that sometimes they sell out in the blink of an eye. If you're not glued to your smartphone every second of every day, you might just miss out on a limited edition release.

This is particularly a problem for collectors of diecast replicas where releases of 504 units or more can be very limited. Missing out on a release you wanted to get often results in paying significanly higher prices down the road on eBay or wherever the models can be found.

To help you avoid this calamity, we've put together a guide to what you can expect in our upcoming Iconic Replicas series. This way you can prepare and decide which transit buses and coach buses you can't live without.
