WNW: how many kits do they have left?

[LuckyLuke]

I ordered an Early Fok. D.VII from MBK and it came to US $159 including a 45 Euro shipping price. Don't think you can get one on ebay for that.

I dont think you can buy an Fok.D.VII for under 200 at his moment

My Foo D7 and Ships Camel arrived. Bit expensive but half what they’re going for on EBay

[Pup7309]

Actually the early D7s aren’t going for as much supply/ demand evened out briefly!
Weta has revived with a heartbeat but the stock at the WNW warehouse still lies in a Coma...

I wonder if PJ is keeping up with the latest developments and having second thoughts? Or is now all past that point of no return...

Anyway we’ll watch that website space...

It will be interesting to see what happens now that Weta Workshop has some WnW kits up again.

From what I am seeing on FB they May already be selling out of the more popular kits. That being said who knows if they will post another batch or two.

PS: Funny, I just checked and all are still showing as "Low Stock" And to think I thought everything on Face Book was True

I’m wondering about another batch or two also.  WnW still had Albatross’ and several other kits for sale when they shut down and, AFAIK, these haven’t appeared anywhere yet

There are quite a few "current production" WNW kits that are, in theory, sitting in the warehouse in NZ that have not shown up for sale ANYWHERE over these last few weeks around the world.

Felixstowe Early and Stahltaube are a couple off the top of my head.

[Pup7309]

Yes I heard a few early Felixs went quick at MBK/Andy’s. I want a Taube, but will wait a bit EBay price is silly. Should have picked the last one at Metro Hobbies a few months ago.

With Weta I’ve had mixed experience with pre-order sometimes they turn up, sometimes not. Once again coulda shoulda picked some up at 30% off but couldn’t justify the spend at that time.

I didn't partake in Andy's this time around, really wasn't anything I wanted. However I did buy a Ships Camel from the Weta shop before Anys opened up for their pre-orders. They also have Ezline in as well as those Little Contemptibles. I might get the non-Post War NINAK once and perhaps if the NZ WNW warehouse opens up, but I have enough kits to last awhile.

Now, if I could build as fast as I can buy them....

Yes like most people I was never that interested in the 9a, but now thinking of an early or late. I’m sure it’s a nice kit to build but when I measure 43 cm wingspan out seems pretty big. I have the feeling if I get this or another ‘non essential’ kit like the Gotha G1 it will never make it out of the plastic bags and so become an unbuilt museum piece. Would I like to make them- yes. Do I have the time and space - no. Can I afford it to pay big $ for some WNW nostalgia- jury is out on that.
So for now I sit back and watch, as mentioned above - it’s hard not too !

I think these are kits Weta already had when the WNW part of their site went dark when Wingnuts folded (@ 30% off presumably because they were washing their hands of the last stock) As mentioned by Dave they are separate businesses with separate warehouses.

[Pup7309]

It’s funny when Wingnuts had the 10th anniversary sale I was waiting at the airport for an OS trip looking at ordering a Ninak, Fok E.IV, Salmson, early Felixstowe and DFW which were all heavily discounted (up to 50% off) It wasn’t the right time to buy before a 6 week holiday, got the boarding call and that was that. How things have changed. No international travel and a Fok eiv is selling for triple its RRP! Strange times Indeed.

[Pup7309]

Hi all,
Now that the HK and sellers warehouses have emptied the total stocks of WN kits must have been taken down a bit. It’s a big question but would anyone hazard a guess how many would be left in the NZ warehouse? A lot of Camels and Fokker D7s have been sold off but so have Dh9s and DFWs.
Some of the newer kits like the brown boxing’s and more recent releases don’t seem to have re surfaced. PS the answer can’t be how many angels can dance on a pinhead because the amount left is not infinite!)
Cheers, Daz

[Jeff K]

the brown box no decal editions never made it to any retailer. did anyone actually get one direct from WNW? they may not have even made it to the NZ warehouse yet. i'd expect them to surface in some form, eventually

[petrov27]

I thought I saw someone showing they received a brown-box no decal kit from WNW but not finding now.

I do wonder if they might have a lot of plastic for the Alb and Pfalz sitting in the warehouse there as it felt like those kits were releasing right at the shutdown....
