We cannot put out any information on a release from any manufacturers until they have done so. To do that would have us violate the Non Disclosure Agreement that we have signed. If we violate it with one group, it is going to hurt or reputation, and we will no longer be consulted, or made privy to these options.

My comment is that the society should be more proactive in soliciting preorders from the Commissary rather than waiting for the manufacturer to formally announce its release.  If the dealers can set a discount price in advance, I am sure the MAT can figure it out as well.  And more pre-orders should lower the society cost as well.

Pre-selling the RS-11 will highlight the number of N&W modelers within our society in addition to the modelers outside of our society. This will hopefully lead to another run with different paint schemes. Ordering the items from the Society supports the Society and its continuing operation and allows us to order more from the manufacturer and shows them that our members support N&W/VGN products.
