Out of Stock Items

(1/3) > >>

Eclaireur:
There's a few things gone out of stock, and I think Rubicon have explained that's due to some of the supply chain disruption of Covid and what have you. But specifically ...
- is the T34/76 coming back into stock at some point or is it being re-designed?
- there's some of the pewter or resin items also gone out of stock, but presumably a different reason for that if not coming from China? Or does it?
cheers

Rubicon Models:
Out of stock items:
Most out-of-stock plastic kits should get restocked together with our new releases in about 10 days or so.  The shipment is currently in transit.

T-34/76:
We had planned to redesign this kit but was cancelled due to project backlogs.  We might reconsider at a later date but definitely not this year!

Pewter & Resin Items:
Due to stricter environmental protection laws in China, we had to relocate part of the production facility to another location.  Production should resume shortly after the relocation.

Resin Kits:
In the past, all our resin kits are "factory-cleaned".  Due to increased labour and material costs, we have decided not to remove the "gate" from all resin parts so that we can keep the retail price unchanged.

New Releases:
International shipping costs, air or sea freights, are currently 5 to 6 times higher.  While keeping retail prices unchanged, we have to manage shipments carefully to save costs, thus affecting new release dates.  It is something that is affecting all trades, not just ours.  As a small business, this had affected our operation seriously.

Hope this clear thing up for you all.

Eclaireur:
Thank you for the answers - much appreciated

ZRV:
If you guys redesign T-34 family to the level of your latest kits some time in the future, it would be great!

What kind of redesign on the 34/76 ? Better detailed track ? Driver 's hatch opening with driver instead of molded solid ? Turret interior ( gun breach / crew seats ) on the 1940 model turret ? I think its a great as it is bar the track face , but that can be hidden with ground cover and mud
