Yesterday I ordered tank #2 from Matomart - a Heng Long Tiger 1 that will receive Girls und Panzer decals.  This wasn't the tank I had been waiting for - I had planned to get a Stug and turn it into Team Hippo (and I even got the decals for it as a promise to my little girl that it was coming).  The Tiger was the one of the only ones they had left that I had GuP decals for (happily, I don't think she'll mind the substitution).

I placed the order after contacting Matomart's customer service asking if there was any news on the Stug and an alternate, and receiving this in the reply:

The Stug and Panzer IV F2 shipment has been in Vancouver for couple months.  Warehouses are running out of space for more cargo and on top there is a shortage of trailers throughout the lower mainland making it extremely difficult to arrange loads for back east.  All cargo to Toronto is delayed.  Once our container loaded into a trailer we should receive it in about 2 weeks.  I will keep you updated.

The news is that the supply chain difficulties are getting worse rather than better.  So, if there is something in stock on the website that you want, you might want to order it sooner rather than later.  Alternately, if there's something you're waiting for them to restock on and there's an item further down on your "to buy" list that they do have, you might want to just get the item they have got.

(Hopefully that last sentence didn't get too mangled...)

Quick update: a restock has arrived, and both Stug IIIs and Panzer IV F2s are now in stock.
