In With the New, Out With the Old

EM36207

With so many new lines emerging, several of which are very deep and broad, we’ve decided to phase out a few lines that have been under performing or seem to be no longer supported by the manufacturer. MRC’s Easy Model line will be drawn down, since a number of new items that have been listed in their catalogs for several years running show no sign of ever making it to market. Product replenishment has also been a recurring issue, with several key items never made available from any of our suppliers.

It also appears as if Dragon has taken an indefinite hiatus, sidestepping the production of many items that were announced years ago. While we would prefer not to phase out their lines of pre-assembled vehicles, figures and aircraft, it simply doesn’t make sense to continually hype something that never comes to fruition, particularly when other companies are clamoring for more shelf space. If anything changes for the positive in the near future we will certainly make note of it, but for now it doesn’t appear as if the wheels of progress are being greased.

Hobby Master Studies War Some More

HA4401

No longer delayed due to a recurring customs issue, the February shipment of Hobby Master products is finally en route to us and scheduled to arrive the second week of March. Several notable releases are included in the shipment, including the first ever 1:72 scale diecast model of the F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (#HA4401).

HG4306

Vehicles and aircraft abound in this cache, particularly this sweet-looking 1:72 scale rendition of a German Sd. Kfz. 234/3 8-Wheeled Armored Car that was attached to the 1.SS Panzer Division LSSAH (#HG4306). Enjoy!
