Pre-Order Status
Here at V8 Sleuth we sell a number of products on pre-order, to ensure that people get first access to our limited edition products as soon as they go on sale.
The most common question we get: When will I get the book/print/model?
Here's the latest updates on all our Pre-order Products below.
Some general considerations:
- Come back regularly as we update this as often as we can!
- The date listed is the date we expect to dispatch the first order. So you need time on that to allow the item to be delivered.
- Books and prints usually have less variability (usually weeks) than scale models due to complexities in making scale models, which can vary from original ETA's by up to 9 months.
- Items that are signed often have delays as they involve extra logistics in getting the person to sign them.
- Items made by V8 Sleuth generally have more predictable timelines as we have direct contact with all people involved in the production of the item.
- We generally update this page on a Monday or a Tuesday.
