I didn't ask how many they were getting but they confirmed I was in the first batch so likely to be one of the first UK customers in the wild to lay hands on one 🙂 Good deal. At least they have landed in the U.K. and it won't be long now for you. I think phrunt said he would have his this week. Hope it is in the mail to him already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's been a week so that plane must be flying all around the world with the U.S. as the last stop. Or maybe it is just a little Cessna and they take a few then have to go back and get some more then they deliver those and go back to get some more and on and on. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these Christmas times, your vision of the Cessna reminds me of the story of the Colibri. "There was a gigantic fire in the forest and all the animals had fled except for a small animal, the Hummingbird, which went and came back to the forest from a pool of water where it drew drops. The others asked him, 'What 'is what Hummingbird does'' And when he had an empty beak, he answered them ... well I'm doing my part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSPR Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 That's so true, la torche. Looks like another day without a Manticore Cessna shipment arriving. I guess I'll go do something constructive like writing a Christmas check to Toys For Tots or the local food bank. Maybe that will remind me what is really important in life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canslawhero Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'm in glorious (but cold) Canada. Was just told by my dealer that he is expecting a Manticore shipment on the 21st (2 weeks from now). woo hoo! I'll do the ~ 45 minute drive over there and pick it up in person...cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I sure hope the row boat Minelab sent them on to Canada doesn't have any problems navigating the fridged waters of the northern hemisphere. Now that I think about it, Minelab Americas is in the Chicago area so everyone in North America is probably looking at the same time frame.

PSPR Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Looks like a French dealer is offering a 5% discount on the Manticore. I don't speak French so I'm not certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
