Title: News on Emily!
Post by: Chazoroni on June 06, 2007, 08:46:57 PM
Well everyone I just found out that the Bachmann is going to release Emily for sure and soon.  ;D

I found this out when I called the Bachmann industries today and the man told me that he saw a picture of the Emily model yesterday and she will arrive in hobby shops soon :)  This is going to be exciting, despite the fact it is over 6 months late :P  Everstill I am looking forward to receiving Emily :D

I am serious, and I am really looking forward to seeing pictures of Emily to see how she turned out  :D 

Now we are officially caught up with the 2006 range and can move onto the 2007 products ;)

Yeah I guess so lol :P 

Anyways from the looks of it, I think Emily might come out when the buildings do.  Which is around the end of August, which makes the buildings great birthday presents, because it's around my birthday. ;)  I already preordered Emily from towerhobbies.com, so I am all ready.  ;D

Why do all the engines get delayed, I hope the engines that were made for the 2008 range don't end up coming in 2009. :(

Yeah, thats how it was when I had to wait for Gordon and Henry.  Personally, I'm looking forward to Edward, but thats for another topic I suppose.   :D   Yeah her coaches are on my layout thinking...
"Annie and Clarabel have Thomas, Gordon and Henry have the Express, James has the Goods and Spencer had his coach, but where is our engine?  We are sick of Thomas and Toby pulling us round!"  LOL

this is like the episode "Emily's New Rout" when Emily was late takeing the flower to the bakery when the trucks sang "Emily the late engine, Emily the late engine" Emily realy is the late engine now.

Delayed? Again? Bachmann is pathetic! Just release the d*mn thing! Even if it is a simple paint flaw or error that won't affect the engine's run on the rails. Sad, really. Bach-man, when is the next plan for release but delay? Ok, here is something I can't resist saying. Bachmann, you have caused confusion and delay!!
Title: Re: News on Emily!
Post by: metal4life on August 13, 2007, 09:35:25 PM
She can't have been delayed again if there's already a set release date. I want to see a notice from the Bach-Man if she has really been delayed once again, which I highly doubt.
Title: Re: News on Emily!

That's wonderful Bach-man thank you very much!!!  This cheered me up after a hard day I have had today, plus Emily is one of my mom's favorite characters, she will be pleased once I get the model. ;) 

You are a hero!  ;D

I also preordered the buildings last night. ;)   Now all we need to worry about now is Edward and Mavis....
Title: Re: News on Emily!

I just called Peach Creek and i asked about Emily and he said she will be released in November and the rest of the stuff will be out in December.  ;D i am so happy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: News on Emily!
Post by: DreamFiend_633 on August 15, 2007, 02:27:58 PM
Okay, November/December isn't bad. But why does Bachmann anounce this stuff a whole year ahead, and keep announcing that it will be delayed? That's poor business if you ask me. Let's just hope that this time it really will be December. And Bach-Man, tell the rest at Bachmann not to announce the new items until there is a firm and final release available and it will NOT be delayed because it is finished. BTW I'd like tom see more prototypes in stores, my friend said he saw a Mavis prototype, but he didn't buy because he had no money. So when he finally did about a week later he went back and she had sold. There was only one their he told me. So Bach-man, please don't announce anything until it is finished and it can't be delayed? It would take a load off everybody's mind. And the forum probably wouldn't be filled with pointless posts and threads asking what is new and when the new products will be out. Just a piece of advice. I don't hate Bachmann (they have beautiful Thomas models) but it just gets peoples hopes up high and then coming here to find out it will be delayed again for an unannounced reason.
Title: Re: News on Emily!
Post by: The Chaz Storm on August 15, 2007, 03:22:41 PM
Well I will have to agree with Zac on this one, I mean if the products keep on getting delayed then we would mostly talk about when the models would be released, and which engines we would want for the next year on this forum.  I must admit it is getting repetitive but I am happy to see that Emily is done and will be released in December for sure.  I really hope they stick to their original schedule.  To me it is not good to see two engines who mainly described the 2007 range (IE Edward and Mavis) come out in 2008.   To me it is understandable that they are delayed but honestly this is getting out of hand.  Sure patience is a virtue, but promises are promises.  I am somewhat disappointed about the delay.  Emily was suppose to come out on Thanksgiving of 2006.  Toby, Spencer and the coaches were a little more understandable, as they were only a month late.  Emily is pretty much 13 months late!  I understand the delay though, but I think you guys really should take more time into releasing the models into their original spots, I mean first off, Emily was going to come out in November 2006, December 2006, January 2007, May 2007, September 2007, and now December 2007 which is now where she is now confirmed.  Edward and Mavis however should have been released and made at the same time as Emily though, which is none other then December 2007 instead of 2008, but that is just my opinion.  Plus it silly to release the coaches before the engine :P  All I hope for is that this does not happen with the new engines for 2008 like if Salty and Harvey were announced (Two random engines in my head. :P ) and they were told to come out in December 2008 and next thing you know they are in 2009.  Bach-man, the best advice I can give to you for having more pleased fans and not so many people down is to find a confirmed date for any of your models and to stick to that date.  I am sorry if this sounds rude in any sort of way, but you did more then just let me and other forum members down before as you have let other Thomas fans down, but it is great you are going back up again as it shows how strong you are. ;)  Plus let's not forget, the phrase most of us say...Better late then never ;)

Well Done Bach-man, and best future to Thomas and Friends Bachmann 2008! ;)
Title: Re: News on Emily!
Post by: Michael on August 16, 2007, 01:11:21 PM
Well thats good.  She is up and running!  For me, it is actually good she isnt coming till the holidays.  I will be able to run her without buying her and going to college.  I have no room here for any HO stuff, so I am glad personally.  Good work Bachmann!  I am going to get her now!

It was just Edward and Mavis, Emily was announced but we all know she is coming out sooner.  Edward and Mavis are due in 2008 ;)

If you ask me Edward should already have been put out. He was one of the main 8 engines and he got replaced by an engine that doesn't even have one of the original Thomas colors. He's so forgotten.

Back in 2005 around when Gordon and Henry were coming out Edward was #1 most popular by requesting and was on the wishlist a lot, it surprised me that Emily and Spencer came before Edward.  He was still popular on the wishlist thread and now that he is made, I think that has calmed most Thomas fans down, and they are thinking of other characters like Duck, Diesel, and other characters that they want.  Who knows maybe they might be next, only time will tell. ;)

Probably because they're newer. Edward was the first Thomas series engine. Then it was Gordon, Henry, then Thomas or James...I'll have to look in my big "anthology"( ;)) book.

Which only emphisises (excusee spelling ;D) the outlook on Edward...

But he's coming in '08, so no worries, he'll still be here! ;) :D ;D

Well one thing I am happy about is that Edward is made or is going to be made all the same ;)  I will admit though and this is what a lot of other members would think as well, Edward is more popular then Spencer....

At my local train store the owner checked the Walther's website to see when Emily would be released, and it said December 31st!!! That practically is 2008! And she was due for November last year? Wow, thats really pathetic, and what's worse is the Bach-man is ignoring us. And something I know is is that December 31st is usually a date list when the said product will be released around a time near the 31st, so she could come out this Fall or next Winter/Spring. How long does it take to make her face look like the one from the show? It's not that hard. Let's best hope we do get Emily THIS fall, not next, eh Bach-man? I realize the delays are not your fault but do tell us only when the date is CONFIRMED! Thank you.

Really Bach-Man, you've even run her on your layout! Why is she getting delayed this time? And can we please get some sign that Emily isn't the only thing you're working on? (And if she has been than I don't even want to know when the rest of the products come out!) What about your other "2007" products?

Dear All,
I was in Philly to repair shipping damage to the layouts. It was 97+ degrees in the warehouse in which we were working. I didn't want to even touch Emily, let alone my camera...
We'll have pics soon!

Yep, I knew that the heat had something to do with it, I personally don't blame the Bach-man, if I was put in a position like that I wouldn't want to touch Emily myself.  Besides he did say he was gonna take pictures, so once he does he'll show us. ;)

I can tell you that when I went to Arizona around the springtime it was over 100 degrees, I can only imagine what it would be like during this time of year....

Anyways, now that Emily is done, I am assuming the rolling stock will be next then will come Edward and Mavis. :)

Agreed, dedication. The heat index doesn't surprize me, though. Why? Mainly because the fact that it's SO hot that half of my school district is cutting classes held in places with no air conditioning, some kids even get tomorow off 'cause all their classes are canceld!

Emily's coaches are done, and they are already released. :)  I am not sure about the other rolling stock for 2007, I am assuming they will be released on time in December....

Well seeing as now Emily is confirmed and ready I am guessing most of us might not talk about Emily now I am assuming right?  Well I can say this as my thought, I am gonna make a new topic called "The news discussion" sense it seemed to be appropriate because everything with Emily is cleared, we saw a picture and we know when she is coming out for sure. :) 

Besides its time that we talked about the first and last characters by Wilbert Awbry which are none other then Edward and Mavis. ;)  Along with the rolling stock, and of course lets not forget possibly in October we will find out about new items that may be announced at the ihobby show. ;)

Hey Chaz and co!

My two cents: it's been a while:

Emily looks FANTASTIC, cannot wait to buy her.

However, she's not worth the delay, and excuse after excuse can be made, but all that has been needed throughout this entire shambles is an apology.

bachmann should think about delaying their announcements instead, or risk poor service and narked off customers.

However, hyporitically or not, i will be puchasing the item as she really is fab.
Title: Re: News on Emily!
Post by: The Chaz Storm on September 09, 2007, 12:52:33 PM
I've already preordered her from towerhobbies.com so I should get her in December.  ;D

Also like I said I am happy that Emily came in all and the delay of course didn't sound so promising but I am glad that the model is done and we got it out of our system.

Post by: Beatle (TrainBrain) on September 09, 2007, 01:00:48 PM
Last time I ordered Thomas locos (Gordon and Henry), it was through Norm's Train World...

I may not do that again because when I saw Henry, he was in the Bachmann packageinh, ON HIS SIDE, with one broken little plastic thing. Nothing bad, still ran perfect, and we glued the thing back on. I think I'll use my other dealer this time ;)!

I can garuntee it was the shippers, not Norm's :P.

Hey Mr. B,
    I have a question...  Emily is to come out n December right?  Well for the benifit of my curves, can she take a 15"?  I obviously know she can go ove 18" cause that comes with the sets.  Cheers and she is a beautiful engine.
