![]() The next one – WW1 British – will have a global release. The German Sentries and SAS are our last sets being done the old way. So a set goes up for pre-order and then x weeks after that is the release date but that means it’s the same date for Australia, US, and UK and all ships out at once (the release may be sitting around for a month in the US waiting for the UK ship to arrive). Instead of having a new release show up at three different times to the three warehouses (with US always first as it’s closest to production and doesn’t require a ship or plane) we wanted to have global release dates. We also wanted to change up how we do releases. Getting the US-based team up to the same speed and quality of China was a painful, drawn out process that took way too long and knocked us off pace. There are a variety of factors that go into this but most of it has to do with playing catch up from the move from China to US-based production. We let you know back in January our biggest challenge is keeping up with production and keeping our three warehouses stocked up. With that in mind, let’s see what they will be releasing in plastic. Not only did they release a bunch of different styles, but they actually also had some collaborations and put out more than most companies. We’ve also worked on a LOT of plastic sets (probably too many because we’ve front loaded the production schedule with over 40 sets!) because we have a great team of in-house sculptors who like to keep busy (which was one of the reasons we launched Atlantic Digital but more on that below).įirst up, being able to vote on the kits and files is just really awesome! We have heard some people complaining about the number of plastic kits recently, but they released so much in 2022, that we don’t really understand the reasoning. Since launching in 2019 we’ve always flooded our site and socials with loads of updates so it has always seemed like a lot of stuff going on. Most companies like ours might preview a set of plastic and then you don’t hear about it for a year until it’s released. And part of it is just that we’re doing a LOT of different stuff! And part of it comes from the fact that we probably over-share information. I think a lot of it stems from the reality that most people don’t read anymore. There always seems to be a lot of confusion about what we’re up to. We’ve been REALLY busy with a secret project. ![]() ![]() The Atlantic Digital experiment is full steam ahead with 11 new file sets each month for each of our 11 ranges (we know we’re missing 3 file sets from previous months – they’re almost done too).There’s no slow down on plastic releases – quite the opposite!.There have been over a thousand votes cast so far. Vox Populi lets you vote on sets that are already planned to be produced – your vote just lets your choice skip to the front of the queue.Let’s get the rundown of what they are up to: One Year Later, Pass or Fail: Vortex Mixer Shaker For Miniatures & Model Paints Wargames Atlantic Lays Out Their 2023 Plans for Digital Files & Plastic Minis ![]()
