ringleheim Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 WNW to initiate a 6-12% price hike on its kits effective January 1, 2013. This is being done to combat an ever weakening US dollar. This information comes from their newsletter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 That seemed inevitable. Still, given the research, engineering, design, decal sets and tremendous instruction/historical reference booklets, combined with great tooling, still makes them the best game in town for fantastic WWI aviation kits, as far as I'm concerned. I'll continue to pay whatever it takes to get my favorite machines from such an outstanding company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Even if it was a12% increase across the board, they kits are still a huge bargain. Completely agree with Kev ... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTroll Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I believe the Fokkers and Hannover CL.II reflect the new pricing levels. I got the impression from the newsletter that the price increases would apply to the "old" kits...goodbye $59 Albatros, etc. Still the best buy out there when you consider the factors enumerated by Typhoon above. Where do I sign up for a lifetime subscription? Having said that, I just posted my order for a couple more Junkers Flying Tanks while they are still only $79.00.

Dave Williams Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 How really horrible is a 6-12% price increase? For a $59 kit, a 10% increase would drive the price up to $65, still a bargain in my book, especially as they are keeping free shipping. If they have to do it, they have to do it, but I don't see any need to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
