I have been traumatized, like many, about the discontinuance of Testors paints being discontinued. I was shopping at Hobby Lobby today, and noticed a flyer hung on a rack near their paints. It was a Testors flyer about their modeling products, with "great new paint options". The flyer talks about camo colors, and shows images of a new brand label. One image features Model Master Fantasy War Colors. It talks about new weathering markers. The interesting thing to me is that the brochure refers to a Hobby Lobby web site! What is going on here! I talked to a manager at the store, and she did not know of any corporate connection, but she said that is a very popular product there, and they are constantly restocking the paints but have had no problems.
When I went to Michaels on the way home were new Testors products I had not seen before (thick get acrylic medium). I went to the Testors and Rustoleum web sites and they were showing the complete line. What is going on here? The only thing I can find about the discontinuance is on modeler forum sites.
Why all the promotion of the products if the Brand is going out of existance?
