It’s OK, we haven’t got it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

However, the response to the release of the 6mm monorail<\/a> last week was completely unprecedented. Although we had produced what we thought was plenty of stock in advance, this was all gone in no time at all and we’re looking at a mountain of outstanding orders. <\/p>\n

So the upshot is that there might be a bit of a delay (a few days) in getting all of this weekend’s orders out, especially if you’ve ordered any monorail pieces. We’ll be making some extra sets of moulds to allow us to cast more quickly, but there’s still a finite limit to how many resin pieces we can cast at a time.<\/p>\n

We were planning another small release today (there they are below) and another major one at the end of the week, but they will go on hold until we get the backlog cleared. It’ll be quiet on the blog this week…<\/p>\n

One final update – so far we’ve collected and donated \u00a3135<\/strong> to the HEROES<\/a> charity from funds raised through the sale of our recent new releases, and we still have several more weeks to go. So a big Thank You needs to go out to everyone who’s contributed to this total in any way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
