Has the Bugaboo been cancelled????

I just received a note from Tower Hobbies that the Bugaboo was cancelled. I also received a note that the TOS 1/350 Enterprise was cancelled and Round 2 says it was not. I am thinking Tower and round 2 may be having some kind of trouble?????

I do know that round 2 had postponed the bugaboo but havent heard anything about it not ever coming back to kit form. I hope it does been waiting on that one a while....

Well if you check the business pages...RC 2 was sold to a Japanese group as of May 2, 2011

Round 2 Models do not seem fazed by that as Auto World lists that as available.....

Sucks about the Bugaboo but I heard it was cancelled a while ago.

Enterprise is NOT cancelled. Tower and R2 are having some issues over it.

Just got an update from RC2 last week on the TOS Enterprise. Still on schedule. The flyer sent me hints at a new shuttle Galileo too, but only hints... it is not stated.

I just received a reply from Round 2 that the Bugaboo has been cancelled. That is at least 3 kits recently cancelled. This has really messed up my orders I have placed with vendors. It has also forced me into deciding not to preorder kits anymore. When buying on line you need to group orders in a fashion to maximize value in shipping et cetera. I am having to cancell so many orders to avoid excessive fees that I won't be doing that again. If I am not the only one coming to this conclusion then overall preorders will drop do to the on and off nature of announcements. This can set up a spiral downward.
