BREXIT IMPACT OTHER RANGES

[TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED]

Most of what we buy is purchased in USD and we have a much larger facility for USD, hence all our imports for the following brands are protected from price increases up to arrivals end of November 2019.

But it is not unlimited so you need to contact your retailers about any outstanding orders,

 

Hobby Master

Modelcollect

Beemax

Rye Field 

Amusing Hobby

Galaxy Models

T-Models

Armies in Plastic

Mission Model Paint.

 

We have no control what so ever with other brands we distributed for other UK Agents

 

The only positive thing about this is the back door boys who import our goods on the grey market, generally do not have the foreign exchange facilities that we do, so their prices will go up almost immediately.

 

Currency History last few years.

 

USD     Summer 2016 1.51 to 1 GBP, almost after Brexit vote 1.19, but then recovered to about 1.36,  since Mr May defeats in parliament it has gone back to 1.21 and is expects to loose anther 10%

Euro    Summer 2016 1.42 to 1 GBP  Ditto                              1.08  but recovered to about 1.17 but now 1.09 and again expected to loose another 10% 

 

Still most of you have got great stashes to keep you in your hobby,
