I hope ADOX will have enough tailwind to establish a robust colorfilm business, but the whole wording around this particular film sounds like something that wasn't ready for prime time, but is put out anyway to cut losses.
In the light of all the sub-standard film sold by the endless number of "experimental" brands, I guess it doesn't seem as bad as it could, especially if the profits really go towards production of quality film.
Or that it got stuck in a legal situation that has only been finally resolved in the last few days (c.f. Inoviscoat/ Orwo announcement)
It was designated at their webshop this way already at the moment of statement. Where it was said that sales would start the 10th.It's out of stock already.

37 euro for shipping 2 rolls of film! Hmmm.
Think I'll wait a bit.
ADOX would, in my opinion, better apply its resources toward returning MCC-110 to production (with a surface finish like the one found on Bergger semi-glossy) as well as bringing to market a regularly available 400-speed sheet film to fill the gap left by always-out-of-stock Bergger Pancro 400.
COLOR MISSION UPDATES
Dear friends, the release of our new color film went wild!
We did not expect such an immediate massive reaction, with hundreds of orders from all over the world coming in in just a few hours.
The sales were supposed to start tomorrow, and the film was available for pre-order. Those who pre-ordered first, will have their films shipped starting tomorrow, the first sales day.
Right now, you can still pre-order Color Mission on Fotoimpex.com, and you will be getting the films from the next production / film converting.
We are really shocked and thrilled at this success, and organizing our team to release more films as soon as possible.
The ADOX and Fotoimpex teams are saying a huge THANK YOU for your trust and support!

That's old news. The last time I received a parcel from FOTOIMPEX it took exactly two weeks (well, plus one day, but there was a postal holiday wrapped in, so call it two weeks) from Bad Saarow to my door. According to USPS tracking, another FOTOIMPEX order of mine is currently "Out for Delivery." Assuming it arrives today, that will have taken 13 days from Bad Saarow to my door....I'm not going to pay DHL to take months to get them to me.

I have no problem with the shipping time, but the 16 Euro penalty attached to a 21 Euro shipping bill is just too much for 2 rolls of film.
I'm unaware of any "import costs" for products shipped by FOTOIMPEX to the U.S. Nor does FOTOIMPEX sell those cameras you're referring to, as far as I'm aware.Okay, the DHL delay problem is fixed -- but the combination of shipping and import costs isn't. I can get a couple kilos of camera from Japan or Former Soviet Union regions for less cost and in similar time to getting a small number of film from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland...
Same here. At a reasonable shipping cost, I'd buy 2-5 rolls just based on the pics I've seen. But, I'm not paying $42 (at current exchange rates) for shipping.Here's the problem...
Don't get me wrong, I really want to try out this film, but will risk the possibility of missing out until it makes a bit more economic sense...
