JJDUK Press Release (1 Viewer)

[Maj. Duncan Heyward]

Whilst you will still find us at www.jjduk.co.uk ready and waiting to despatch your order, it is with much regret we announce that due to personal commitments and the development of both our other individual businesses we are unable to give JJD UK the time and commitment it deserves and will no longer be acting as the sole and exclusive UK dealer for John Jenkins Designs.

The April releases mark the final set of new releases listed for sale via JJD UK. As of immediate effect JJD UK will no longer list new releases for Pre-Order and will be unable to order in any historic sets. We do however have our current stock to sell and this may be the last chance to pick up those sets you've been putting off.

We have enjoyed immeasurably bringing burgundy bundles of joy to you all. We have made many great new friends and enjoyed meeting each and every one of you at the shows, and our shared passion for John's amazing work.

Thank you: for the warm welcome we received from the Toy Soldier community, for always making our day, for the book, film, documentary and war-game recommendations, for your letters, emails and postcards full of thanks and joy and for making it possible for us to turn our passion for John's figures into something special. Without you, none of this would have been possible. We appreciate you all.

When we took on the UK dealership as the sole and exclusive UK dealer, we were able to concentrate all our energies toward it. Our circumstances have changed considerably in the last few years and we are now unable to give it the focus it deserves.

We are open for business as usual and still have good stocks of many historic lines. We’d recommend you check out our Retired But Still Available sets, so please visit the JJD UK website and watch this space for news regarding opportunities to acquire some of the custom display boards we made to showcase John’s incredible ranges at the Toy Soldier shows.

If you have Pre-Ordered a collector’s club set, don’t panic, we are discussing with John all pre-orders of collector’s club sets that are yet to be shipped. We will be in touch individually as soon as we understand our position regarding these sets.

Happy collecting.

James...Adam...

sorry to hear this...

I think you guys did a bang up great job with your representation of JJD at the London Shows and running the JJD sales in the UK...

I have never heard a complaint on your management of your business and I have always enjoyed browsing your website for intel and...

sorry to see you two move on and wish you the best of luck in business and your personal life...

I will miss trolling your website...

 

[graycap]

Very sorry to hear that you've had to make what must have been a very difficult decision. Your presence at the London Toy Fair will be particularly missed, not only for the magnificent array of soldiers, vehicles and aircraft that were always on display, but also for the friendly and helpful nature of your team manning the stand. All the very best for your future plans and projects.

I have to agree with graycap and mike miller........10 minutes ago the courier arrived at my door with my current (Last !) JJDUK order (FIW) I wish Adam and Jamie well. Any idea's who will be taking over in a more full time capacity for new and future releases ?

 

[Old Bill]

Oh, no........... All I can say is the very best of luck to you both James and Adam - and wish every success in your future endeavours.

You are going to be an incredibly hard (double!) act to follow........................ (no pressure then, on whoever it will be.....?)

The end of a very happy era of collecting for me I think. I'll just leave off with couple of pics - one of your always "Best in House stand" and the other I think speaks for itself!

Cheers - no. make that HUZZAH!!!
