![]() So, until you hear from us otherwise, we wish you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and a scintillating start to the summer. Otherwise the soonest the next batch of outbound orders is earmarked for shipping is June 9th. We’re still pushing out product as fast as orders come in, although Monday the 22nd will be the last day we plan to get orders into the The Motor Pool slip stream. Needless to say if they decided to close up shop what we have in inventory will likely be all that remains of this once proud model maker. Either way we hope to have a definitive answer this summer. The distributor representing this line has been trying to hail them on an open frequency without much luck so the Company may have gone temporarily dormant or quite possibly decided to throw in the towel in the wake of COVID. No new models have been announced and even their web site appears to be AWOL over the last few months. Precision Model Art (commonly referred to as PMA) seems to have dropped off of the diecast radar. So, if you plan to own every version of their Tiger tank - and let’s face it, who doesn’t - you can still submit an order at our MAP level price before it starts to rise in value or quite possibly lands in the vaunted Force of Valor Hall of Fame. ![]() Released several months prior to the winter camouflaged Tiger, there likely isn’t all that many pieces still available at the factory level before it sells out. Likewise their desert sand over-sprayed Tiger I tank is currently out-of-stock and won’t be available again until either late June or early July. This usually means that international distributors are having a hard time sourcing the vehicle, and, rather reluctantly, consumers would rather bear any cost in acquiring the vehicle from a well-stocked US retailer rather than having it slip through their fingers. Several are being shipped overseas, despite the huge shipping costs associated with mailing out an oversized item to parts outside of CONUS. ![]() Rather amazingly, their winter mottled Tiger I tank is catching up in sales with their “Cobra King” Sherman Jumbo tank, which means we will likely have to place yet another re-order for this fan favorite. That’s a bit problematic for us since we are starting to run low on several of their recently introduced 1:32 scale vehicles. The next batch of Forces of Valor items is currently slated for a late June or early July arrival, although this could change based upon the whims of the manufacturer.
