Shop Reopens

Hi

Firstly, a big thank you a big thank to all our customers who have been very understanding while the shop was closed.  While my wife has not fully recovered, she is feeling much better, we are now hopeful surgery won’t be needed and life is returning to something close to “normal”. I have now reopened the shop but only for WW1 and beyond, the earlier figure ranges are not yet available. I felt it best have phased opening to be sure we can keep up with orders in the time I have available. I will add back in the figures once the initial rush has cleared, I am assuming a week or so, as this seemed to work well last time.

More New Models for May & price increase

First the good news; we are now able to start the release of the new models we have been building up while we coped with the factory move, with luck we should be able to bring out 4 models a month for the rest of the year and hopefully one new figure range at least every other month. The masters are done it’s just mould making capacity holding us back now. To address this, we need more staff and have reached the point where the only way to do this is an increase in prices so we can pay for them. I know nobody like prices going up but I want to continue to grow Heroics & Ros and without more staff we can’t do that, the only alternative would be to stop investment in new models which is not a road I want to go down.  With the support of our customers we have grown hugely over the last years and I wish this to continue so I would like to thank everyone for their support with this. I know you all want pictures and this is being worked on too, WW2 range is nearly done and even more on the way soon.

Move Update-2

Hi all just a quick update on the progress of getting the shop fully back on line. We now have the Coast Forces 1/600th range there plus from the 1/300th range, the Ships and Planes and Railway. We have now just add all the new style figure both WW2 and 1980's along with the LRDG & Para range. I hope I will get WW2 on line tomorrow and the "modern range" on line over the weekend. Sorry it has taken longer than hope but we have been busy and on top of that I got a rather horrible stomach bug so no working at 100%. The final ranges to be added with be all other figures and I hope they will be on next week 😀😀

 

Move Update
Thanks for all the enquires about when we will be back up and running, it’s nice to know you miss us 😊. The move has taken longer than we hoped mainly due to the amount of orders we received prior to the move. We had to cast everything before we could start the factory relocation which meant we have had to delay reopening.
We have now moved our moulds and are testing the new casting equipment. We need to sort out the stock and then hopefully we will be ready for business in our new home.
I plan to reopen the web shop on Monday 4th March, this however will be a limited reopening. We are checking stock and moulds by range and period so as this is completed, they will become available on the web shop. I don’t want to be in a position where we have accepted an order but can’t be sure of being able to make it, currently there are over 4000 lines in our web shop so this is a big task.
I am sorry for the delay and gradual reopening but I wanted the shop back on line so we can use the news section to communicate and it makes sense to have a gradual opening in case we have any unforeseen problems in the new factory.
Thank you very much for your understanding with the delays to orders placed before we closed and the patience shown by you all waiting to place new ones. In the long term this is a really good opportunity for us as we now have access to more metal types, extra casting machines and the space to move. In addition, we can use the services of more trained casters and mould makers, this should allow us to release many of the models and figures you have seen glimpse of or heard about.

Once again, Many Thanks

Andy Kirk

 

 

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Heroics & Ros is on the move, I have owned the company of 9 years now and in that time we have nearly quadrupled in size, which is great but we have been steadily out growing our current production capacity. We have been looking for a new location and now that opportunity has occurred but it has come about rather quickly.

 

In order to move we will have to shut production so, we will be closing for new orders from the 18thof January. We will complete all order placed before that date then start the task of moving thousands of moulds, equipment and stock. So if there is anything you “really need” before the end of February please order as soon as you can, if you can pass this on to anyone you thing might be interested it would be helpful.

 

I am not sure how long the move will take as it won’t start until we have shipped all outstanding orders which is clearly an unknown quantity.

But I am hope we can complete this in about a month and aim to reopen around 22nd February.

 

I am sorry for the short notice but it has been complicated to arrange and only now do we have confirmation of the availability.

 

Thanks you for all your support over the last 9 years and we have lots of new models ready for release once we are open again and just maybe even some more pictures ;-))

IMPORTANT NEWS

Heroics & Ros will be closing from Sunday May 7 th until Monday June 4th. Any orders placed before we close on the 3rd will be dispatched while we are closed but no new orders will be taken until we reopen. I have some family matters which I need to be sort out and trying to do this and run Heroics & Ros will just not be possible. Rather than offer a poor service with long lead times I have chosen to close and get things sorted and then reopen with everything completed.

 

With this in mind we have released 3 new ranges at Salute and they will be added to the web shop this week.

To accompany last month’s 8th Army we now have the LRDG and to provide some help to the Italians the Afrika Korps are also released.

For those interested in cold war gaming we now have 2 Danish tanks and Danish infantry & support.

Change to way of selling Artillery & some models

The time has finally come to raise our prices. In the over 6 years I have owned the company we haven’t raised the price of any of our existing models, but the time has now come when I really need to review things to ensure the company’s long term future and ensure an ever increasing range of new models. With a new baby on the way the time I can devote to working on Heroics & Ros must reduce, which means contracting out more of our work.

 

I don’t intended to raise everything by a fixed percentage but review each model or type of model and find an economic price for each so this will be an ongoing project rather than a big bang.

 

As part of this project we will also be making some changes to the way some items are sold in the shop.

Artillery will now be sold without crew, this will give you the choice of using one of our increasing range of new figures or the current crew figures or none if that’s what you prefer.

All models will be sold individually rather than some in pairs, this is proving confusing for some of our newer customers when placing orders.

 

We will start by changing the way things are sold as of 1st September (i.e. Tomorrow) and implement other changes as we go.

New Models for July & Joy of 6

Hi All

Thank you very much to all those customers sending best wishes, we now have the web shop back open, still not 100% better but well on the way.

 

To confirm, we will be attending the Joy of 6 show on July 17th but our stocks are low so if there is any thing you are hoping to buy on the day please email and we will do our best to get it ready and bring it with us, figure stocks are particularly low.

 

To confirm the releases for July are.
