Dear Collectors,
thank you very much for your patience in the last months when we
are facing great challenges together. The wait for information has
been long, but careful consideration and discussion of our next
steps has been a very strong internal theme in recent days. We are
currently experiencing a delay due to the completion and
distribution of the long-awaited PREDATOR exclusive title. It also
took several weeks to move the warehouse. Now let's get to where we
want to go next.
First, let's recap. In the second half of last year, we decided to
resolve the situation regarding the long-awaited PREDATOR title in
our own way. Thank you for the manner and understanding with which
you accepted our proposed solution. There was no better solution in
the given situation, which we can all see over time.
Now we have another tough challenge regarding discs for our
editions. We needed time to thoroughly discuss individual
solutions. For each edition, we always have pre-agreed conditions,
which we consider unchangeable until the realization of our
editions. Any change negatively affects the economy of editions and
unfortunately, instead of finding the will for reasonable
solutions, the demands become uncompromising. Although it may not
seem like it, due to the individual delays that we encountered due
to our strict quality requirements, we subsidized some editions
from our own resources. We have therefore decided to release
editions FAC 171 and beyond, with exceptions (we have purchased
discs from an earlier time) without discs and not to give in to any
pressure. The decision also applies to BLACK BARONS editions. We
are currently finishing FAC #171 of GODZILLA in KONG and will then
move on to sending out issues 167-171 which some are still waiting
for. Then we will complete the next ed itions in order. If sooner
or later we manage to get a certain amount of discs, we will put
them in editions intended for free sale on the e-shop, but please
expect that these editions will be more expensive. Updated release
dates will gradually appear on the e-shop.
Due to our fifteen years of experience, we have agreed that we will
no longer accept the new demands and pressure placed on us, we will
continue to publish the planned editions, but at the same time we
will put our energy into the projects that are offered thanks to
our experience in the field of collector's editions. We will
introduce you to these in further information emails. Collectors
who invest in the FAC brand and BB products in a timely manner gain
very interesting added value as well as appreciation. We believe
that we are able to offer even better values with products that
will not be subject to demanding approval processes, will be ours
and we will be able to decide freely and independently about their
development. We will continue to sell products created by us or
previously purchased until they are sold out.
In our FAC and BB plans, ie. FAC #186 + and BB #33 + we have
attractive limits that we will create mainly for our loyal
customers. These are editions that we have arranged and prepared
from an earlier time and we have not presented them yet. We
estimate that those who follow us to the end of the FAC and BB
series will receive even more interesting gems. In addition to
these, we want to offer you the opportunity to expand your
collection with a new series of very attractive pieces, which we
are now preparing so that we can present our plan to you soon. We
will hint that the focus will not be cinematic, but still
attractive enough to attract the collecting public.
Please expect an update on the release dates for individual titles
soon. We currently need to reprint some elements to bring them up
to date.
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, support, and
time.
With warm regards,
JC for the FA and BB team
