Well I am still waiting for my box with 12 of them to arrive.
Will be interesting to see if they all arrive at once or in seperate packages.

Mine came last week sometime.

Was a bit disappointed that it was just left at the front door though. I was home all day, not even a doorbell ring for it. Dad came home and handed it to me, said it was at the front door. Good of Australia Post to just leave it there like that, especially if it had have been something expensive or important.

surely one of the photoshop gurus could wip up a '71 sticker using the silver & orange off the original incorrect plate? Also the black writing on the bottom right.

got mine yesterday. picked it up from the post office cause our town cant afford a postman to leave our parcels at front doors..

pretty good service really from the promotion company to print and deliver the new plates just because there was a mistake on one. doubt that many other companies would even concider doing that.

well done to the promo company.
