Is the Revell '30 Model A Coupe Out, or eBay Pre-sales?

[Skip]

is the new Revell '30 Model A Coupe out already or are eBay sellers trying to do pre sale auctions?  I'm not going to post the auction information, but the auction I was looking at isn't mentioning that the auction is a pre sale for the '30 Ford Model A Coupe.  Makes it sound like they have it in hand now.

Revell has a "preferred partner" program that allows some sellers to get new kits about two weeks earlier than the rest.  From what I have gathered, those sellers have to stock every item in the catalog, and they only get two copies of each new release early.  Only one shop (now gone) in my area participated in that program, he was charging full boat for everything, probably because of the overhead involved with having to carry everything in the catalog.

I'd guess that the eBay sellers are doing pre-sales now...you'll probably find that in the fine print.  The kit should be available through "normal" channels around the end of the month.

According to others on other boards the kit is out and on the shelf of "prefered Partners'.

The "stock" '48 Ford is also out.
