You have already confirmed that Thunderbirds are not being discontinued but on saturday my stockist was still telling me they were being discontinued and had 25% of there stock, could you please confirm if any of the range has been or is being discontinued.

Hi Flash
No the Thunderbirds are not being discontinued, we are going to produce small limited edition runs like the most recent Kyrano piece only available directly from us.
We will however be retiring a number of the figurines, news of this will be sent out with the forthcoming catalogue.

Hi Dan, will there be a LE of Grandma? Can't do a Thunderbirds set without poor little ol' Granny.
And a scenario of Tracy Island must be a good seller!

I'm part of the club so received the new catalogue yesterday so was quite perturbed to notice no Thunderbirds? Having read the previous emails it would seem that that I'm not the only one who thinks the future doesn't look bright. Also there is the 50% reduction in the Stingray figures which isn't good.
So is this the end of seasonal releases with just LE taking centre stage? And will this have collectors fighting over '50' or so items? I know RH is a business and by having this strategy is looking to maximise it's sales and as a result it's profits.........?
Your views are appreciated.

What's the panic, read it again, does the literature not say"....but also brand new, never before produced, charecters from the Beano & Dandy and Thunderbirds collections"

Read the post above again...........................! My email asks the question 'Is this the end of general release figures?' It would seem yes. There is no 'panic' just dismay. I was hoping for a Captain Scarlet set :(
