Things that go BANG!

16th Jul 2022

You know it’s been nearly a month since we’ve had some new releases.  Yes, there’s been the small matter of the Joy of Six to organise, but that’s still no excuse is it?   But before we get to all that, it’s time for an order update.   As at close of play today, we were up to order number #21074.  More so than ever, this number is a wee bit misleading.   There are a good number of orders prior to this awaiting invoice and despatch, both of which will take place early next week.  In addition, the casters are now working faster than the admin department which means that there are around another 50 or so awaiting processing.   All of which means that the process of catching up on orders and reducing waiting times is continuing nicely.

And so to the new additions to the range.  It will come as no surprise that it’s more Second World War.  The US army is now reinforced with the addition of some serious pieces of field artillery in the shape of M2A1 105mm Howitzer

The M1 155mm Howitzer

The M1A1 155mm Field Gun

And the Mighty  M1A1 203mm Field Gun

These releases are part of our final push on the North West Europe 44 ranges which means that we can finally look at something a little further east.

Given that we are likely to be ‘otherwise engaged’ next week, there will be no update, but normal service will be resumed the week after.   In the meantime, we will be gearing up for our annual visit to the brilliant Claymore show in Edinburgh.   As it is extremely unlikely that we will be anywhere near restocked following the ravages that Joy of Six inflicted on our show stock, I would suggest very strongly that you get show pre-orders to us as soon as possible.   Even if it is a single pack or two, it's worth doing to avoid disappointment.

Finally, it cannot have escaped anyone’s attention that the chaps from Little Wars TV were visitors are this year’s Joy of Six.  As you would expect, they have produced a video about their escapades and you can find it here:  https://youtu.be/85nxCuqq4jo  As you would expect, it’s a great mix of reporting and humour, and makes an interesting contrast to Alex Sotheran’s and Big Lee’s video reviews of the show highlighted in the last news item from us.
