We recommend doing so. Popular items, limited editions and early allocations often sell out before arrival.

Pre-orders are paid upfront to secure your item and confirm your allocation.

This also helps you:

• Plan your spending
• Avoid unexpected taken payments later
• Guarantee the item isn’t sold out before arrival
• Upfront payment also allows us to place firmer orders with Hornby, ensuring we receive enough stock to fulfil demand

To help us process orders smoothly and ship stock as soon as it arrives, we kindly ask customers to place pre-orders separately from in-stock items wherever possible. And from other pre-orders if possible.We offer free postage, so ordering individually won’t cost you extra and allows us to dispatch your items more efficiently when they land.

The yearly launch covers hundreds of items across four brands. Some products are still being scheduled, and dates may shift based on production, packaging and shipping updates. Check back on the product page for updates.
