Other MTH First Responders Cars When Shipping

The dates you're seeing are likely the ETA's that haven't been updated.  No clue what the delay is, but that's all par for the course these days.  My suggestion:  order what you want from a reliable dealer (LHS or forum sponsor), and they'll charge your credit card and ship when stuff arrives.

Well the LHS I go to generally orders quite a few of the same car and are very reliable. That's where I usually go to get new cars. But for me, I'm not really interested in new cars to purchase unless it's something I can't live without and that's like these First Responders cars. I have the 911 & 5642 premiere versions, I just want the cars to go with the engines.

Sounds like you're good to go then.  Now it's up to the Chinese to build the product and ship it!

I pre-order almost everything from my LHS. My experience with MTH orders is that they are generally within maybe one to three months of their listed ship dates. Of course, there are exceptions and a couple of items I ordered were delayed by a year or more. I don't recall, but they may have revised the ship dates on the long delayed ones. Most have been within just a few months though.

I do not know if you have got the cars yet but I have had mine (all 3) for a while. I purchased after ordering from LHS.

I know thread is old but did not see if you got them yet.

I have been purchasing ALL 911 items made so far from MTH, Lionel and Atlas. It must be due to being a firefighter and it being in the blood. Even had Personalized cars made from Lionel ( and received ) for several members of Fire Department.
