Taking a step back

Taking a step back.

It is amazing how quickly things can change. This year is already turning into one of many changes for Burn In Designs and it is only beginning. 2013 ended with us setting a new high in sales, several great product launches, building a great customer base from all over the world and meeting fans face to face at events like Adepticon. Not too bad for a company just starting out. With all those milestones, we have much farther to go get where I see us going. There are so many designs that we want to show you and so much more we are going to do. The Federation City Expansion with wrecked buildings, Welcome to Rock Ridge Series 2, The Skyway Project and Mars Terra Station. There are a lot of big changes in our future.

However, to get there we need to actually slow things down a bit. We are just too small for our plans to really take off if we keep up this pace. We are going to scale back things a bit starting today. We are taking time off to build the infrastructure necessary increase the production speed and quality of all our products. We will be back in about 6 weeks bigger and stronger.

So what does that really mean? Well first up, we are not accepting any new orders. I know it isn't the best idea but handling orders and building at the same time just doesn't work. Outstanding orders are being completed as possible and refunds will be issued for any that we are not able to complete in a timely fashion or that do not hold up to the quality standards we have set.
Fear not we will return. I have never been one to walk away from a challenge and I hate to lose. Those of you willing to stand with us through this will see some great things.

Thank you,

New Year and New Kits

Hello and Happy New Year!!!

This will be the 3rd year for Burn In Designs and we are going to make it bigger than last year. This year we are going to be releasing allot of new stuff as well as refreshing some of the older kits. We will be posting more previews so you can get a better feel for what we will be releasing. We want to interact with you more this year on both Facebook and Twitter as well as here and via email. Our business is driven by your request. Without your involvement we can't design pieces you want to see.

Here are a few of the pieces you will see released soon as part of the Return to Rock Ridge relaunch. Rock Ridge has been a popular little town that has been steadily growing turning it into our top seller. Even so there is always room for more stuff. After all the 3 basic designs are nice but they have a few short comings. They are very versatile and as is give plenty of options to make each one unique but the with only 3 basic shapes you have allot of repeat buildings. Lets change that with these.

Log Cabin Bunk House

Water Tower

4 Man Gallows / Bandstand

2 Story Livery Stable w/ <you will have to wait to find out>

RJ's Gaming Hall and "Hotel"

We think these will expand the town rather nicely. But something is missing. The orange roof on Howard Johnson's outhouse? People? 

NO! We need a whole mess of dimes for this one.

That should be enough for now. Stay tuned for the new releases and thank you again last year was great and this year will be even better.
