This isn't a Ford product.

Ford Australia is quite profitable atm so not sure what you are implying by your comment anyway.

I ordered this back in May this year, due for an August release, then delayed to September, then delayed to the end of November, then I got an email saying it was to arrive by Christmas, then I got told late January 2020, now their website says Feb 2020.


Im not sure if this will ever arrive......


Edit: Correction, I ordered this in April for an end of July original release first.


The Shannons Website gave a special code to Shannons Club Members to get $50 off the price of the order.


https://www.shannons.com.au/club/new...members-offer/


Promo Code : '1050'
If it still works.

If anyone is interested I can get these for a discount price of $300 ($25 off) + freight. They are pretty heavy and the box measures 45cm x 43cm x 13cm. Let me know if are interested in one.

Not sure if this works, but there is a video link below

Bought two of these.Just “hedging” my bets that they could go up in value.The Holden one released awhile ago,is now fetching quite good money.
I did purchase the Holden “card” collection as well.

Yeh I got two as well. I think its a pretty good collection of stuff. Your thoughts on the collection?

The Holden one released a while back are now worth around the $1000 mark, that's not a bad investment!!

I think I paid $45 for this when it was released . Good read and reference, but now $19.95 …. ripped off.
But basically the same thing plus some trinkets for $300+...… nah.
What is the title of the Holden book referenced on this thread ?

What they want in price and what people are willing to pay are two different things, books take a long time to be worth that money and it is a limited market they are trying to sell to.
