Any word on any Manicore shipments???

[Bud-sc]

Just wondering what people have heard. The only thing I know is there was a BIG shipment flew in.
Thanks...

Flew into where ?
I always thought air freight was more expensive than ship. Hope it’s true.

other things I have heard include Feb or 1st quarter which is Jan,Feb,Mar.

wish Minelab would issue a press release

One big dealer only got 10 units in first shipping. THe one in FL.

I am #4 on my dealer's wait list. I sent him a text yesterday to ask him if he has heard anything yet regarding the Manticore. His response?

"What's a Manticore?" LOL!

Told me everything I needed to know. Some (most?) dealers are getting no info at all.

I was #1 on my dealers list for the Manticore.-----Cancelled my order & got the Legend----living happily ever after!

Guess I'll get some more smokes

 

[jayhop]

All I know is that there are 2 more available than there was. I canceled 2 orders. Got a 900 coming this week.

I think Minelab is saying the Manticore will be here in time for Christmas - 2023.

 

[sprchng]

I canceled mine this evening as long as my dealer has another customer in line , I hate to leave someone stuck with one.
I suspect a few must be making it on shore now.

No you read it wrong 2024 I bought a 900 for now i'm very happy maybe later down the road I'll pick up a slightly used one at a great price!

Mark...You seem quite happy with your 900. I still want to see a test between the 900 and the 700. I dont' see a need for the gold prospecting modes.

I think your right!!! Looking like the best option right now. From my understanding Minelab is sitting on a whole warehouse full of Manicores but they want to sell has many 900 and 700 first. With Minelab parent company in trouble they know they will sell more of the cheapest machines first. Going to wait another week then get a 900 for a back up for D2.

Bud-sc, where are you getting this information? I haven't heard about "a whole warehouse full of Manicores" they are setting on or the "Minelab parent company in trouble." Not saying you are wrong, but haven't seen or heard of any of this anywhere else. Personally, when I was in business I wanted to get my more expensive merchandise in first for longer term selling. But, my business was seasonable. Anyway, just curious. HH Jim Tn

Codan is the parent company they are in trouble. Minelab is the only ones holding them up. Now for the Manicore understand exactly what you mean but also why would Minelab put 3 machines out on the market at the same time also?? Plus there supposed to be another machine coming out too?? I guess it's a gold machine.
They have more "parts" for the 900/700 with old stock from the 800/600. The Manicore is the newest machine newest processors chips, color LCD screen, bigger battery parts not so easy to get. They build what they can shipped out a small batch out then the rest are sitting in the warehouse until they can get caught up. Meanwhile the 900/700 can take up some of the sells and they still making money. In other words it will be months before the next batch get made. They will let small batches of Manicores out here and there but it will be awhile before we see every dealer here in the US with a "in stock" status on there website. That's what I was told.......which all makes sense.

Um, Codan does not seem to be in any trouble. Reported record profits of $100.5 million last year. Looks like they are doing quite well

Well minelab has only shipped really two new ones the 700-900 which they were announced after the Manticore???!!!
I’m sure a lot of people are upset that bought new 600-800 or preordered the manticore’s maybe minelab thought they would buy the 700-900 to hold themselves over until their Manticore came in lol,

700 million in sales is not the same as profit. Typically a co reporting $100.5 million profits has no debt. Just saying! HH jim tn
