When i understand right, collecta will no longer make horses, but the wild animals and prehistoric stay in production?

CollectA will still be producing horses as well as all the other lines. Breyer is only the distributor for the United States of the horse, cat and dog, and farm lines.

Thank you, i'm understand now.

Don't hold your breath for any non-farm/horse models in North America. I made contact with Reeves, and they are not bringing anything else in for now (despite what CollectA has said). And they are not expanding their online retailer customers.

So this shoudl really do nothing to help the market here. Hopefuly people everywhere else have a better time of it.

I don't know, I think there's a chance Reeves will take on the other lines in the future. Not this year of course but if they sell the three they have now I don't see why they wouldn't carry others perhaps 2018 or 2019.

I'm actually thrilled that the dogs and cats are readily available and the prices look good. It will be great to pick up most of the ones I missed. Still, it does look like many breeds such as the bull terriers, great dane, and afghan hound are missing, but they could always be brought in later.

It's a shame that they won't distribute the dinosaurs and wildlife since these are their two biggest sellers. At least these lines are no worse off than they were before, and hopefully Reeves will soon understand that they could make a lot more by stocking them.

Are wild-life CollectA models no longer carried by any US seller? I was wanting to buy the Tahr from a US seller but no one ever stocked it. =/

Base on what I last heard--sort of. CollectA signed on with Reeves International--and despite what CollectA had initially said, Reeves had (has?) no intention of moving beyond their usual domestic-animal products.

There are a few North American sellers still willing to go to extraordinary lengths (and costs) to bring in some of the CollectA line that more people want--but mainly the prehistoric figures. Most people that get them are ordering from Asia, Europe or Australia retailers.

I know that I have ceased bringing them into my store until they get their act together, and I know of several others that are doing the same.
