Per Hobby Master’s MAP guidelines, we have removed any price restrictions on all of the September 2022 Hobby Master arrivals. The price for each item has been reduced to their regular selling price and you may now apply any discounts we offer towards the purchase of these items. This process will recur on the first of every month in compliance with their updated MAP pricing program. You can tell if an item is no longer MAP protected if the blue MAP seal that appears alongside its image and just below its price has been removed. In effect, a retailer is no longer bound by the 6-month introductory MAP restriction policy and can sell the item for whatever price they deem appropriate.
In other news, our distributor reports that Legion has now arrived and is on its way to us. The first shipment encompasses most of their 1:72 scale military vehicles, a pair of Yorktown class aircraft carriers and finally all four F4U Corsairs. Again, this line is aimed at the collector on a budget and/or entry level aficionado who may be put off by some of the higher priced lines such as Panzerkampf. Also winging their way to us are a pair of the latest Oxford Frontline Fighters.
