Stock update 23.09.2022

Since the announcement that Tommy’s War will cease trading on 31st December 2023 I’ve had a lot of orders, with customers keen to snap-up products before they are out of production.

This has meant that a lot of items are now out of stock. But I wanted to reassure everyone that stock of all products (excluding the Crossley Light Tender TW32VEH1) will be cast right through the end of this year and throughout 2023.

While it’s a quickly moving situation I did take a look at stock showing as not available on my website and quickly checked it’s status.

So, if you’re after anything in particular then you’ll see when it might be expected back from this list*

I do get asked why some items are out of stock for longer than the others; this depends on the product involved;

Gassed – there is currently a problem with one figure (a hand missing a finger). We need to check on this and repair the figure if necessary and then create new moulds. This is a lengthy process, but there will be a large quantity of this when it is available

Cavalry – these simply take longer to cast as there are multiple parts (and complex as well in some cases) – again, there will be plenty cast in 2023

If I can get items into stock earlier, then I absolutely will, but please be assured that I will try to cast enough to meet demand before I close. If you do wish to express an interest in a particular item or items then on that page on this site you’ll see a box named “notify my when back in stock”. Simply enter your email address and I can then see how many people are interested in a particular item and align production accoringly.

Thank you so much for your patience, I understand how frustrating it is when products are showing as out of stock. When I made the announcement I was carrying nearly £50,000 worth of stock and thought it sufficient, but I’ve simply been overwhelmed with the demand (which was far higher than I had expected) – but I am determined to catch-up!
