Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[drdave]

I just had exactly that thought! Got me

[lcarroll]

Now, that's a shocker! I too was thinking about another Tripe; Thankfully I had the forethought (weakness??) to "lay in" a second of both Albies! The Special Editions will no doubt come at a considerable increase in price. The April 1 thought would be a nice reprieve however I suspect "it is what it is"!
Cheers,
Lance

Really glad I got my Tripe when I did.  I agree with Lance.  I think an April fools joke from these folks would've been more elaborate, right on the home page.  Hope I'm wrong.
Cheers,
Bud

C'mon. Both Albies, the Tripe and the Gotha and the recent Fokker D.VII (OAW) go sold out all at once? At midnight on April 1? It's a joke.

But whatever, I've got them all in my stash...

this just in from the FB WNW Fans thread:

!IMPORTANT!
I had a conversation with Richard Alexander from WNW right now and you can stop panic guys. According to his words:
"it is an error, they are not really sold out and we are trying to fix the situation now but it will probably take a few hours"
They are changing server for their website and this error suddenly appeared.
So guys, do not worry, it is just an error...

[drdave]

so cue panic buying... Great business model!

And there I was listing my Albs, Foks and Tripes on eBay! Doh!
Looks like a much needed holiday in New Zealand will have to wait... for now!

And maybe this is April 1st fools day joke...

A double bluff! Curse those wingnutters!!

I really hope this is a mistake as Richard Alexander said, but now on their website they have ALL THREE Fokker D.VII's as sold out! The only one still available is the D.VIIF.

I am hoping it is a computer glitch.  I wouldn't make good business sense to post them out of stock as an April Fools joke.  I am going to take the email that quoted Richard Alexander as stating that it is a computer glitch. 

[uncletony]

I predict everything is shown sold out before the day is over

For those on the WNW email list, here's the text from a message I just received.  I like the bit about panic orders.   
-----------------------
Hi,

Overnight a website error caused several of our models to wrongly appear as sold
out. While all our models are limited and will eventually sell out, these models
are still currently available as of 1 April 2014;

32005 1/32 Gotha G.IV            US$149
32008 1/32 Sopwith Triplane         US$69
32009 1/32 Albatros D.V        US$69
32011 1/32 Fokker D.VII (Fok)        US$79
32015 1/32 Albatros D.Va        US$69
32027 1/32 Fokker D.VII (Alb)        US$79
32030 1/32 Fokker D.VII (OAW)    US$79

Almost certainly more models will appear to be sold out in error over the next
few hours. Hopefully we will have this fixed some time today (New Zealand time).

We apologise for any concern that may have been caused. If this website error
caused you to place a panic order and you wish to cancel it for a full refund
please email [email protected] with your order details.

Richard Alexander

Time for the Halberstadt Cl.II to arrive in a big way.

WNW Be.2e in September 2014, my guess anyway.
