I admit, I have not felt any particular " great disturbance in The Force" myself. But then, I am not shopping very much these days. I thought of Combrig, so replied as I did. Randall can clarify what he's thinking if I missed the mark (which seems likely.)

Hi,
I had no bigger trouble receiving kits from the manufacturers mentioned here to my shop in Germany.
Best regards, Ralf

Randall, if this was hashed out here in any specific form, I also missed the postings.
In general, the world has changed. And THAT topic we have (unfortunately) had some very unpleasant discussions about, basically degenerating into political poo-poo throwing messes. Until we got our new moderator, the crap flowed pretty freely. Mercifully, since the new moderator, civility and on-topic discussion has slowly returned. Be grateful your drama was family drama, and joy.
Combrig is a Russian company. There is "a situation" with Russia of late, and trade with them has stopped. There are new tarrifs, which have impacted international commerce, so overseas companies you list like Tamiya, Fujimi and Hasegawa have been affected. Hopefully, you can see how these sorts of discussions can devolve to a level of base emotions and general inanity. And can agree this is a subject that probably should not get too much discussion. We could end up giving our new moderator some exercise, and I am not sure he wants it.
Congratulations on being a great grandpa! Previous Message
To so many model companies? Previous Message
Gentlemen. I am quite ready for ya'll to be amazed that someone could be as off planet as I have been lately. To much family drama and joy (I'm a great grandpa among other things!) keeping me absent from my hobby of late. Indeed, I am utterly bereft of knowledge of what happened to so many model producers. Kombrig, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujimi and maybe others seem to have fallen into the void. I bet ya'll already hashed this out (many times) but if anyone wants to briefly rehash it for me I would be grateful. Sorry for not getting on more often but I am 73 and I forget lol. My best to all and I will try to be more present. Cheers!
