Super Administrators Popular Post Reaper_Jon Posted October 2, 2020 Super Administrators Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 Paint talk time~ From CEO Ed Pugh Greetings all, We’ve read some traffic on various social media platforms about some missing Core Colors and Triads. Everyone is correct: recently colors have been disappearing from the reapermini.com. Of course, the statement I just made is being followed with a why, and more importantly, why didn’t you notify us? After reviewing our remaining inventory of recently retired MSP Core Colors Paints, we’ve decided to extend the availability of some of those colors. This limited inventory will be available beginning October 7 at 6:00 PM central time. However, there are two caveats: The remaining paint inventory will only be available until October 31, 2020 or While supplies last; when an item sells through, it will be removed from our website. So this is the last chance to get these paints - but inventory is super limited! The numbers are listed below for your convenience. If you do not see a paint listed below, that color is already sold out or unavailable. 9073 Chestnut Gold 9093 Golden Highlight 9121 Khaki Shadow 9142 Stained Ivory 9157 Olive Shadow 9175 Swamp Green 9177 Camouflage Green 9210 Red Ink 9220 Olive Skin Shadow 9222 Olive Skin Highlight 9223 Redstone Shadow 9224 Redstone 9226 Peacock Green 9229 Worn Navy 9230 Soft Blue 9232 Bright Skin Shadow 9233 Bright Skin 9234 Bright Skin Highlight 9235 Red Shadow 9236 Black Green 9237 Violet Shadow 9238 Regal Purple 9244 Muddy Soil 9249 Sandy Brown 9250 Dusky Skin Shadow 9251 Dusky Skin 9252 Dusky Skin Highlight 9265 Deep Twilight 9266 Violet Light 9267 Sunset Purple 9268 Volcano Brown 9269 Military Blue 9270 Shadow Green 9271 Dirty Bone 9272 Graveyard Bone 9273 Splintered Bone 9277 Spattered Crimson 9282 Maggot White 9283 Old West Rose 9284 Lone Star Leather 9285 Denim Blue 9291 IMEF Olive 9292 Bathalian Chitin 9293 Alien Flesh 9295 Rach Red 9296 Malvernian Purple 9297 Adonese Green 9307 Red Liner Thanks to all of our customers for their feedback! Why does Reaper take colors out of production? Most times It’s simply house cleaning. We’re making room for new paints and future products. We’ve been doing adjustments like this periodically through the years. To date we’ve moved a total of 231 colors onto our Paint Non-Production list. A color is moved to that list for various reasons, but the most common reasons are detailed below: Lack of demand for a color. - This calculation is determined by taking the minimum production quantity divided by the quantity of annual sales. If that calculation yields a result that indicates it will take more than a year to sell that batch, then the color will find its way to the Paint Non-Production list. Supplier discontinues a material. - Sometimes a supplier discontinues a material or additive and we cannot find a substitute. The color will find its way to the Paint Non-Production list when we are unable to continue production. Cycled release or limited edition. - Some colors, like Breast Cancer Awareness Pink or holiday colors, cycle in for a limited time period. Some colors are reformulated. - Some colors leave production for reformulation using new, more advanced materials. No matter the reason, not every color is gone forever. This is why we consider them to be in the “non-production” category. Why didn’t Reaper announce this? Honestly, it just never occurred to us. So, for decades we’ve simply cycled colors out as needed. This procedure was started before the internet made communication and feedback so easy. In the past, when a color was slated to be moved the Paint Non-Production list, we didn’t announce anything, we simply let the color sell down to zero and then pulled the color out of the production cycle. Keep in mind that 90% of the colors moved over to non-production status were done so due to a lack of demand. | The only time we have ever announced colors being taken out of production was for the MSP HD line. That was a complete wholesale close out of the entire line, all at once. The reason for the cancellation was that 38 of the 54 colors in the line would not pass the test outlined above and we desperately needed the space.| In the Future. Going forward we will publish a list of paint colors that are being added to the Paint Non-Production list as soon as we determine this event is going to occur. There is not a scheduled or regular time that this occurs, but we will get the word out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Options.
