Messerschmitt re-released early + discontinued set coming back
Hello!
And a very warm welcome to the last Bricktanks update until the New Year. We're all a bit exhausted but also extremely grateful that we have been so busy and are one of the lucky small businesses that seem to be surviving, and even thriving, in the current economic climate.
It's a great priviledge to be able to provide a product that is both relaxing and fun to build when so many are stuck inside with limited social interaction. Thank you for all the kind and thoughtful messages, especially during those testing times, when your delivery has been delayed or there is an issue of somekind. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding while we do our best to fix any problems and get your orders to you as quickly as possible.
Huge thanks to all our loyal and new customers for putting your faith in us and our service this year, we do not take your custom for granted.
On a personal note, Neil and I have been busy moving house over the last two weeks on top of interviewing for our first full-time member of staff. We were spoilt for choice with so many excellent candidates and in the end we have offered two people a job! James, who started end of last week, and Amelia who will join us mid January.
Sadly our Cobi contact, Klaudia, is leaving Cobi next week and we wish her all the best. She has been extremely helpful in answering your/our questions and providing a fantastic service. Just this week she kindly offered us the opportunity to grab some discontinued and otherwise currently unavailable sets due to a cancelled order.
So, what's due back in stock on Monday 21st for immediate dispatch either on Monday or Tuesday? Obviously we can't guarantee delivery in time for Christmas at that late stage, but you might just get lucky. Here's what's arriving in our final and largest order of the year:
Birka Cruises - Cobi 01944 - 364 brick ferry
Messerschmitt Bf 109 - COBI 5715 - 278 brick fighter aircraft
Supermarine Spitfire Mk VB - COBI 5708 - 280 brick fighter aircraft
SALE Jagdpanzer E-100 ('World of Tanks') - COBI 3036 - 950 brick tank destroyer (discontinued)
While stocks last sets either discontinued or currently out of production:

DISCONTINUED A12 Matilda (Bovington Tank Museum) - WW2 kit COBI 2495 - 510 brick infantry tank - Last few remaining
As always if you have any questions, please hit reply or email: admin@bricktanks.co.uk.
That's all for now, have a good weekend/week and go well.
Warmest wishes,
Zoë & Neil and the Brick Tanks Team
