2008 Releases
We are already 4 months into 2008 and you
have not yet seen any items from the 2008 range, something which we are as
disappointed about as our retail and consumer partners. Corgi made great
progress in the latter months of 2007 building collectability back into
the brand, restricting quotas on new releases and stopping clearance of
new classics lines. The truth of the matter is that we have not quite
managed to get ahead of the curve following the delays experienced on the
2007 range.
What do we plan to do about this? In
order to try and get ahead of the curve, we have below published where the
2008 range is currently tracking as at today. Again, if there is not a
date, this does not mean anything, other than we are awaiting our
production slot to be confirmed.
We will not be releasing a 2nd
half 2008 catalogue in May as our customers will just be starting to
receive the first half range and we cannot expect customers to absorb a
full year’s supply of product in the last 7 months of the year. Instead,
we are working on a winter supplement that will be released in August.
This will detail Sept-Dec releases and will be a smaller range that we CAN
deliver on time.
