Hello world! We hope you are all well. I usually ignore politics, current events, etc when I email. This week is different. We do business all over the world. Never have we had so many factors effect our tiny little hobby shop here in Massachusetts. Supply chain issues and lockdowns in China delaying products. Our restock of Paragon Scenics in the Pacific Ocean is taking forever and the cost to get it here is as much as my daughters used car. Beyond China, Russia and the Ukraine were big sources of our product mix and mail orders. We imported and exported to both countries.
Right now we have been taking inventories of brands such as Plastic Platoon, Chintoy, Publius, Mars and others and marking our listings as "last ones" taking them off the site or whatever is needed. For now when this stuff is gone it is gone. I have a report that Chintoy and possibly Engineer Basevich may be gone forever. Other brands in 1/72 scale like Zvezda, Red Box, Orion and others will all be drying up too.
 
We just received a massive restock of Games Workshop including dozens of boxed sets and 100's of Citadel Paints! Yay!
 
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).
Buy 2 get 1 FREE!
 
We are having an "IN-STORE ONLY" Storewide Sale here until March 21st! Stop by for a bargain.
 
I am trying to schedule my Shows for the Spring.
April 3rd is the IPMS Wings and Wheels Show in Chicopee, MA - I will be there.
April 8/9/10 is HAVOC a game show in Mass. We will be there Saturday the 9th!
 
April 23rd? A Toy Soldier Show in NJ???
May 1st ? A toy Soldier show in Gettysburg and then 2 weeks after that there is the MFCA show in Trevose, PA (this also is the same weekend as Huzzah in Maine). Then May 21/22 a show in Texas. When I figure out which ones I can make I will add more details.

Plastic Toy Soldiers
 
1/32 Plastic from Russia and the Ukraine.
 
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.
