Just after I gave them credit for sticking to their five year price increase plan, and they stated in their annual report that increased costs wouldn't be a problem for them. Perhaps they had this in mind for a while. A public announcement is scheduled for August 25th.
The price increase will affect part of our paint and hobby ranges, as well as a large portion of our metal models and printed materials.... Even with the pressure of rising costs we are adamant that we will not at this time raise prices on any plastic model kits.
