Primeiro fabricante a tomar medidas por causa da crise.

This is about Hasegawa kits. The Re-boxing of old kits in new boxes with
new decals. We keep getting asked why these "new" kits sell out so
quickly. So far as we are aware this is why.... Hasegawa plan the kits they are going to make at about 6 months in advance. They tell their importers in each country and the importer then orders the quantity they want and Hasegawa then make that quantity and send it to them. There are no more at Hasegawa that can be ordered later. So these kits are new kits but they have finished so they are also discontinued. Most importers are not modellers so generally order small quantities. Some times demand is high for the particular models. At other times there is either no interest or little interest and it takes years for them to all go. Basically us and the importers have to guess how many we
will want 6 months in advance and we get one delivery and that is it.
Occassionally the importers do have some left which we can buy and
sometimes we buy from overseas importers but basically when they are gone they are gone and that could be in a few days or many months. We hope that explains the situation.
Meus amigos modelistas imaginem como nao sera para os modelistas Portugueses que habitualmente fica com as sobras dos outros.....
por este andar kits da Hasegawa nunca mais ca vao parar por terras lusas.
E triste ver como as coisas estao negras para o modelismo......
Provavelmente outras marcas poderao surgir com a mesma politica....e estando nos na cauda da europa como ficaremos?
Sera que cada vez mais chegarao menos modelos para o nosso vicio...
desculpem mas nao consigo deixar de ficar triste com esta noticia....

Vintage from Italy. This firm is no longer checking or answering their
email so we are assuming they have ceased business. Get their kits whilst you still can....
