September 2022 Newsletter
Greetings...and Welcome to your Fire Replicas September, 2022 Newsletter. Our apologies for the late release this month, as we've been quite busy in our warehouse getting all backorders out the door.

This brief newsletter includes the usual updates, such as new arrivals, new releases, best sellers, low stocks and more. So scroll down to see what's happening!

We received several shipments last month as the inbound transit times seem to be back to normal. Funny how the prices are still 5X compared to previous, even though the delays are resolved. But it's the new world in which we live.

This month sees the continuation of the popular L.A. County program including the KME AerialCat 100' Tiller Quints. These are certainly the most complex tillers to date, due to the quint features. If you are serious about collecting, the LA County Quints are the new flagship replicas.

In addition, a second round of 1980 American LaFrance Engines for FDNY will release this month, as well as the much-anticipated 1972 ALF Pumpers for Chicago. Rounding out September are two versions of the BME Type 3 for CAL FIRE...one with steel rims, another with aluminum rims.

We're still hesitant to preview that which may be coming beyond September, as we are bracing for whatever calamity may present itself as we approach mid-term elections in the US...which undoubtedly will affect small business. But fingers crossed that the remaining months of 2023 will be smooth.

Thank you again for being part of the elite group of Fire Replicas collectors. We hope each of you has a great month of September!

Best sellers in August...
Last month's best sellers were the L.A. County Fire Department Crown and Ward LaFrance Engine 51's from the Emergency! TV Series. Both are museum grade, 1:50 scale replicas with hundreds of intricately detailed parts. If you're a serious Emergency! collector, these will certainly take top position on your shelf. Both are in stock and usually ship within one business day. See them here >
Runner up...
Four 2001-2002 Seagrave Rearmounts were released for FDNY last month and as expected, Ten Truck was the best seller. About 20 remain of the 150 produced. Check it out here >
Last Month's Arrivals...
Last month saw many new arrivals including the L.A. County Crown and Ward LaFrance Engine 51's, Chicago Mack B85F Aerials, FDNY Hazmat Tech units and 1968 Mack CF Engines. Some are sold out, many are getting low, so pick your favorite! As always, we ship for free in the US with UPS Ground...usually within one business day.
Arriving Next...
Any week now, we will be receiving the FDNY 2001-02 Seagrave rear mounts. They are currently in the Port of L.A., so they could be offloaded and deliver in the next 1-3 weeks. If you still need to add these to your collection, click below!
Just Released...
The new Flagships of your Tiller collection, the L.A. County KME AerialCat 100' Quints are engineered with over 940 intricately detailed parts. We're hard pressed to recall a more complex replica to date. Seven Truck companies have been produced with limited productions ranging from 36-60 units. As expected Quint 51 is the fastest seller and already down to less than 10. With the KME Engines coming in the next couple of months, we recommend picking your preferred tiller asap!
