Email from Squadron.
Posted by Straycat1911 on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 10:18 AM

Says they're up and running. 

Hello Fellow Modelers! 
 
We are excited to announce that www.squadron.com IS UP!
 
Our team has been working tirelessly over the past 6 weeks to be ready for this day, the day we can say, www.squadron.com is back and running!
 
We have cleaned up the navigation, eliminated a lot of products and categories that were not core to our vision of what Squadron is going to be in the future. We have also sourced thousands of models kits, detail accessories, paint, books and tools for you to order! We are still loading hundreds of new products every week, so if you don't see something you're looking for, check back often or email us and we can prioritize getting it loaded in for you. 
 
The new site does operate a little different from the old site:
 
  • We only allow in stock items to be added to the shipping cart. We do not plan on taking 'backorders'.
 
  • If an item is out of stock, you can sign up to be notified by email when it is available again to be ordered. Be quick on this, we may only have a limited number, and if you can't catch the item in stock, you'll have to sign up on the email list again.
 
  • We are offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $39.99, for the continental US and we have adjusted shipping costs for all other order.
 
  • One important item you need to keep in mind. Any and ALLorders placed before January 11t, 2021 were cancelled when the original company filed bankruptcy. We will have additional information with regards to the bankruptcy in our FAQ section in the coming weeks. 
 
 
The relaunch is here! We are excited to share this next chapter of Squadron with you. 
Until then, Happy Modeling!

Looks like they need to work out a few bugs 

Polar Lights 1/350 Star Trek Klingon IKS Amar - POL950 (squadron.com)

Looking through the site i have noticed several items where the "best price" is higher than the list price.

Thanks for pointing this out. Counting paint, where we had some pricing issues, there are 85 cases where our price is higher that MSRP. Looking into fixing it today!

Best of luck to you Mr. Decker! I'll have to go by the site this weekend and check it out!

The free shipping on orders over forty bucks is a good deal. I find it almost impossible not to go over fifty or so!

I wish you the best of luck. I was a long time Squadron customer (circa 1988 to what I think was my final purchase in June 2020).

I loved Squadron of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s and I hope you can continue to succeed in providing us modeling products in the future.

From the emails I received, it seems like you were a current retailer that is now using the Squadron name but aren't the old Squadron that was disappointing us these last few years.

To me, that's the biggest hurdle; trying to get over the negative press they (now you) got towards the end. Once upon a time Squadron was "the" place to get stuff. In more recent years, it was a punchline.
