Roger Semon and Ernst Jorgensen stated that the company Impulse, which supplies all dealers in Europe, suffered a factory fire a few weeks ago that destroyed a large part of the warehouse and almost the entire FTD catalog. A minor disaster where the back catalog could no longer be delivered.
More information on the impact when available.
The message from FTD:
"It is with regret that due to another major fire at Impulse, we we be unable to distribute or supply any back catalogue items for the foreseeable future. It will be sometime before an in-depth assessment can be made regarding saleable product. We will obviously update as and when possible.
On a positive note, we are able to proceed with our planned November release. Please submit orders for these three titles by November 1 if not sooner. When ordering, please take into account your company need for potential half year to full year sales. Don’t rely on quick replenishment from Impulse.

Best wishes
Roger and Ernst
