Greetings...and Welcome to your Fire Replicas December, 2022 Newsletter.
This month's newsletter will be a bit brief as we are days away from Gracey's wedding, which means family and friends coming in from all over the country to celebrate her special day. In addition, we are quite busy in the warehouse during the peak season, making sure we get all orders shipped quickly. So scroll down to see the usual updates including new arrivals, projects that are inbound, new releases and more.
As 2022 comes to a close, we are very thankful for another successful year. Although not without its challenges, we are are blessed to be able to continue to produce fine quality products for our great customers. We are humbled by the continued support of our elite collectors, as we know that the current economy brings difficulties to every family, perhaps in different ways. And there's much to look forward to in 2023 as we expand our program to other fire departments, and kick off development for several new clients.
This month, in order to take some time off, we're going to limit our new releases to the FDNY KME Engines and Philadelphia Tower Ladders. We'll get back to our 3-4 releases per month, starting in January, when things settle down a bit more around here.
Later this month, we're expecting to receive the new E-One Engines for Chicago, Seagrave Engines for FDNY and KME Engines for L.A. County. Collectively, this means members of 23 stations will be receiving authentic replicas of their pumper. One aspect of our business that we love, is that we split up our productions across many stations. This means more relevance to more stations...and also increase collectability as the production quantity of each rig is very low.
If you have your eye on a certain replica, we now have 60 models in our LOW STOCK category...meaning 60 out of 175 in stock models have less than 10 units remaining. This time of the year, we tend to sell through the final quantity on many products.
As it seems 2022 has flown by, we are already starting to plan for the next issue of Fire Replicas Review. If you'd like to be part of the "Elite Collector" showcase, please send us high resolutions of your Fire Replicas collection...and we'll plan to include pictures in Issue 4. We love seeing the creative ways that you display your prized pieces!
Thank you again for being part of the elite group of Fire Replicas collectors. We hope each of you has a Merry Christmas...and a safe New Year celebration!
Nicholas
