Per Hobby Master’s MAP guidelines, we are now able to remove any price restrictions on all of the August 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 the February Hobby Master container has arrived and that our shipment of new merchandise is well on its way to us. Oddly, we are still awaiting final imagery for several products, although these will likely be passed along in the coming days.
