Product Enterprises Fire

A terrible blow to all fans: Doctor Who licensees Product Enterprises suffered a horrible fire at their warehousing company over the weekend. Says the note from Product Enterprises to distributors: "We unfortunately have to inform you of a devastating blow we have suffered at Product Enterprise Ltd. We were informed at 6.30pm yesterday evening that our import and warehousing company (Import Services) has burned to the ground. Import Services house and distribute our products around the UK. Details are still sketchy, however, we have been told that the fire completely destroyed the complex and all stock is lost. Several major companies utilize Import Services and will also be reeling from this news as Christmas stock will just be arriving in ready for distribution. The only good news is that as our new products are running behind schedule, they had yet to arrive into the warehouse. We have stocks of Talking Daleks arriving into the UK at the end of November and our new products - Eagle Transporter / Talking Dr Who & Clockwork Dalek, will be arriving early Jan. Re-stocking of the products lost will take a little while longer. Obviously, we are sorry for the problems this will cause to all of our customers, however I am sure you understand this is something completely out of our control and a devastating blow for us. Please bear with us while we re-organise our shipping, importation and warehouse facilities and we will update you as soon as we know more." Of course, Outpost Gallifrey sends our sympathies and good wishes to our friends at Product Enterprises, and we hope that they can get back up and running soon with their terrific collectible Doctor Who merchandise.
