Hobby Bunker Covert Intelligence - March 11

March 11, 2022

Hobby Bunker Covert Intelligence

Good evening! Here is the latest product info for you to digest. As usual there are monthly offerings from most popular brands.

We are a global business and are quite bothered by this War in the Ukraine. We have a handful of packages that we sent to Russia coming back to us. We will refund them when the arrive. We cannot ship there and they cannot ship here. So some brands like Plastic Platoon, Publius, etc. we are cut off from. The Hanomak shipment never left Russia. We also get product from the Ukraine. Mars and another maker we are cut off from. One is safe the other we do not know his fate. In the shop we have models made in both countries and those will dry up soon. So on top of all of the supply chain issues we are now dealing with this. In addition Petroleum is in all our plastic figures and models that we offer. Well now that there is clear we are staring to take inventories and be labeling things with "last ones." Meaning if you click on Chintoy or Plastic Platoon and says "3 left." Then that is all we have on hand and that is all we can supply for the foreseeable future.

We are having a March 26th Warlord Games 28mm Bolt Action Tournament here in the shop. We have players already signed up. Email or check our facebook event for more info or to sign up.

We will also be having a big Military Book sale in Mid-March (in store only).

We just received several boxes of other games and supplies in today and have lots of new stuff.

Stop by and browse.

The West Coast Toy Soldier Show 2022 is a wrap! We had a great time in Garden Grove! Here is a picture from my booth looking out to the right as the show was just getting going.

Here is a picture with part of my booth (plastic figures section) looking left. the Hotel moved us to the bigger ballroom to have more space.

Here is a picture of "New Hampshire Joe" setting up soldiers in our sleeping room for room trading. We opened Thursday but the collectors did not really show up to Friday. We had over 15 dealer rooms set up by Saturday afternoon.

We had brought out a great selection of figure to the show including these St. Petersburg Collection figures (King and Country in the back ground).

Set your sites on the new March Releases from King and Country.

There are 5 new Vietnam figures, repaints of some older popular Indians, a 3 man patrol from the Falkland War, more 83rd Pennsylvania in Action, a mounted Roman and add-on's to the new Explorers in Egypt range.

Plastic Toy Soldiers

1/32 Plastic from MARS and others.

Sadly the maker of Mars, Serge, is located in the Ukraine. At this point we don't have any hopes of getting any Mars shipments at the moment. At my last email he is safe and well.

There are some other brands made in the Ukraine and some of those unfortunately are in harms way right now. Shipments from Russia have also been halted. We do not know how long this will last or if our friends will make it through. We wish everyone to be safe and well and that peace comes soon.
