From Mike Butterworth over at Testors, we have this recent announcement concerning the ordering of the limited edition Ruby Ford miniatures created by Tom Meier:
I would like to thank everyone for their profound patience during this very tumultuous period.
It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Ruby Ford figures sets will now begin shipping straight away.
We however require that all of you who are still interested in this item to either contact our customer service department to re-order or ask that you re-order on-line. We ask this of you due to the fact that we for security purposes we do not retain credit card information in ours system once an order has been either shipped or canceled.
We are granting priority to all of you that have placed orders with us previously and will continue to do so until 09/30/06. However, please note that we will be making the finished kits (#4111) available again to the general public beginning 09-01-06 and that beginning 10-01-06 will begin filling orders based on the date the order was placed.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me direct.
