Mine arrived as well... and had me worried...
Thankfully it was unharmed, would have been nice to have either a form fitted box (like Amain does) or a few bubble packages...

Delivered!!
Now I build and then I thrash it, and then stare at it in my hobby room for the rest of time

As Jeff mentioned the manual is not included... Not that any of us need a manual at this point but I thought I'd give the QR code a go and grab it anyway...

Sometimes you just have to smile and laugh!!!
PS> Details matter, really, no printed manual? Really?!?... They could have done a really cool 'commerative' manual for folks. What REALLY would have been cool is to have serialized the manuals to the chassis numbers... Just thinkin' out loud

I can’t fathom why AE did a digital-only manual. What could have possibly been gained by eliminating it? Someone there made the wrong call.

That's awesome, ROFL!!!
I was looking at the chassis sticker and thought it looked easily reproduceable. Serializing the manual or having some other way (certificate of authenticity) to verify the number of a kit would make these even more special.

What really would be cool is if there was a manual available at all! Surprised there's nothing posted with people starting to receive their kits!

The classic clear is the exact same kit minus the color changes, so that manual would be just fine

Amain says they have more than 10, on ebay right now, for $379 and free shipping.

For those who didn't get one, or want another.
This kills the scalper.

Expectation that not enough of the kits will be opened to warrant printing a manual.
Besides, real men don't need instructions.

I saw that, 3 sold then suddenly they are gone. Looks like the scalpers bought Amain's entire inventory.

I watched that happen too. Wondering why Amain ended their auction, if they still have more than 10 available.
I'm order 2628, placed the order just before midnight PST, on April 15. My label has been printed, but still no expected delivery date has been given at the tracking number provided; they're supposed to be shipping from near here, not sure what's going on.

Because the others were sold through their store?
