If you thought there was congestion at the nation’s airports this summer then you haven’t paid attention to the arrivals board at the Hobby Master terminal. As it stands right now, it appears as if both the May and June shipments are expected late next week, possibly one container right behind the other. That means lots of new warbirds all showing up at the same time. But the conga line doesn’t end there because there’s a strong chance that the July shipment won’t be too far behind thereby adding to the mayhem. Don’t get me wrong, its always nice to see new product arriving — its just when they all arrive at once, for one reason or another, then it creates a bit of a logjam for retailers such as ourselves. Needless to say we will update this blog post just as soon as we receive more concrete information from our distributor. In the mean time, we will start making room in our warehouse for all of the new goodies set to show up and begin listing them on our marketplace sites once they’re ready to get turned around.
Update: According to our distributor, both the May and June shipments are now expected to arrive the week of August 2nd-8th, and the July shipment won’t be too far behind them. So, strap in, cause August will be another heavy outbound shipping month for us, with lots of new Hobby Master aircraft models to choose from. At this point, there really is no point in trying to distinguish which models in our August 2022 Hobby Master releases are coming in and when (fifty models of all sorts and sizes is a lot to choose from) so we’ve lumped them all together and await word from our distributor as to which models are arriving and in what order. I know that’s a tall order for everyone concerned but one we are forced to accept given the inelastic nature of the shipping troubles still plaguing our nation. In the mean time, tally ho!
