 Hi EVERYONE!
Pre-Order Sharks are still being completed and shipped out extra early. Please keep an eye out for contact from us for when your turn has come. We have another two large shipments scheduled for early and late next week. Our personal goal is to ship out all previously due sharks several weeks earlier than estimated and posted☺. If you have not received an email from us just yet then we are working on your shark and will contact you soon☺. ** If you did not order in time for us to confirm and guarantee you a pre-Christmas delivery than rest assured that we are even working to get you your customized shark as early as possible. We are only human, and working up to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, but we do LOVE to surprise with early delivery whenever possible☺. AND don't forget to turn your scales back ten pounds from the holiday☺! Joke courtesy of Papa Wrip! Party on my friends and stay 'Sharky☺!

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Mini-Update -- All Orders are on time or ahead of schedule as usual. Another wave of All New 1/6 HD Bruce Busts shipped out just yesterday! That's 4 HUGE shipments in 2 weeks! Please be safe traveling out there and enjoy your family & friend time☺!.  Hi Everyone!
PRE-ORDER Sharks are shipping starting tomorrow! As always, please keep an eye on your PM's, Emails' and Spam boxes for your shipping notice. We are shipping them as they dry and can be packed. ** >> HOW's THAT FOR EARLIER THAN PREDICTED☺?! << ** We will be in the process of finishing and shipping sharks at least until the 2nd week in December, and all are being finished in the order that they were received and Paid in Full. Private and especially vendor orders are extremely high but we are still very confident that all of our provided "no later than" shipping dates will be met on time or as usual earlier than forecast. Have an awesome week my friends. ☺.  Hi everyone!
About this time every year we get a MASSIVE surge of customers that decide to go Paid-In-Full very,very early on their Interest-Free Flex-Pay Plans. The average hope being that of getting their shark earlier in time for Christmas morning. We have worked hard to meet those needs in years past but need to post this year that we are currently completely maxed out with delivering existing Pre-Orders and regular Paid-in Full orders. * However there is some GREAT news! We are implementing changes in how we provide our shark Collectibles in a 4 step process beginning Q1 2016. This coming New Year we will not only be providing Resin Shark Kits but we will also be MAINTAINING AN OVERSTOCK of our sharks to reduce turnaround times on ALL Orders☺. Just imagine being able to order and have said shark shipped same day or within a few business day's time rather than waiting 20 to 60 for a custom build! There is a ton of work that remains to be met, but 2016 is the year that Shark City Ozark grows by LEAPS and BOUNDS! Here is a photo that Cal PM'd us early 2014 while educating us about his work on the Original Tow Sled Bruce Shark used in Jaws. I know other versions of this photo have circulated but surely it will be new and exciting to some☺. This is quite close to how our Resin Kit Tow Shark and Tow Rig will look when assembled! Mike
We are well on the way to meeting our goal of BEGINNING to ship out ALL Pre-Order Sharks starting at the end of next week or the week after.
Our intentions are to start shipping >IN ORDER< of both [order #] & Paid in Full Status. This includes the All New Bruce Busts as well as the 3 All New Updated End Scenes High Damaged [HD] Ultimate Bruce sharks including the All New ScarFace Brucette, as well as the All New Enraged Big Mamma 3D Bruce.☺ We understand that this is A FULL MONTH EARLIER than the late Q4 shipping dates that we guesstimated when we went live for Pre-Order. I trust we'll be forgiven this "Achievement Unlocked"☺. Will we be able to ship everyone's shark starting next week? Not a chance, even if there were 12 of us. But we are about to give the local Post Office quite a wake up call starting in the next 6-10 days or so. Thank you for your patience my friends, even though we have once again DELIVERED EARLIER than forecast, 2 to 3 month is still a long time to wait for a Pre-Order if you are like me. Because I despise waiting☺. To stem the flood of PM's asking if your shark is the first to ship please understand that we will contact EVERYONE when it is your turn and when your shark is ready to ship. I am sure you all understand that we wish to focus primarily on working on getting the sharks finished, packaged and shipped as opposed to office work. <<< ****** IN THE MEANTIME ***** >>> Please enjoy a SMALL TASTE of what is coming starting in Q1 of 2016: - The Life-Size Great White Shark Bust in Full Attack Pose - The FINCREDIBLE ½ Scale Bruce Shark Dorsal Fin - AND to start off our ALL NEW LINE of RESIN KITS --- THE ALL NEW 3-Foot-Long TOW-SLED BRUCE SHARK INCLUDING TOW STRUCTURE RESIN KIT!!! ENJOY*  An update for a friend that I turned into a RELEASE-UPDATE
to spread some CHEER and FUN for friends and customers☺ *** We still sell the heftier looking 3-foot Tow Sled Shark as well as the other slimmer [Platform Shark] 3-foot Bruce Shark so you can still get in on either or both sharks. We had posted that we wanted to bring some of these runs to completion and have since been flooded with messages and emails from people demanding we keep them alive. Even though we still offer the Interest and Penalty-Free Flex Pay plans people are just wanting them available to save for on their own I guess. So we caved and are keeping them for sale online at least until the end of the year or we can replace them with similar products. That's what we have done with our 1/6 Bruce Busts. We MASSIVELY changed and updated the Bust and now call it the HD Bruce Bust. The HD stands for High-Damage and High Definition detail. The first Bruce Bust was a cleaner and fresher looking Bruce Shark like when Brody was chumming. But this ALL New HD Bruce Bust is chock full of wounds and cuts and extreme damage. Incredible detail level right down to the many different historical gritty skin textures! Like when fighting Quint and Brody at the film's end.☺ So instead of ending the busts as sold-out we replaced our Bruce Bust with the 2nd Edition which truly is an all new Collectible. This is what we want to from now on. Nature abhors a vacuum [[and lowlife copy-catters☺and all☺. The Pre-Ordered All New 25-inch Ultimate Sharks are all due to start shipping later this month. We have not decided how long they will run at this time to be honest. *** We are also adding quite a few products in 2016! As you have seen on our Facebook walls the All New Life Sized Great White Shark in full attack pose will be finally added for sale. Also the ½ scale Bruce Dorsal Fin will be added to our Catalog as well. The ½ scale Bruce Shark is actually life-sized for a real world Great white Shark by the way☺. We are also excited to announce that ... WE WILL BE RELEASING RESIN KITS next year! One of the most requested things of all time from us. So fans will be able to try their hands at building and painting their very own Shark City Ozark Bruce Shark kits in 2016 ☺ The Kits will be one price and those wanting us to build, paint and customize will of course hire that service as we have provided since 2008! One of the first kits we aim to release will be the 3-Foot Tow Sled Shark with complete Tow-Frame superstructure underneath! Cal Acord himself who worked on the real Tow Sled Shark for Jaws helped us to develop this back in 2013-2014. We were waaay too busy to release our 3-Foot sharks with this immense mechanical superstructure [which is as big as the shark all by itself] but we sure can release the shark and the big metal [resin] tow frame for others to build the kit! We will also be releasing another Open Sided Bruce Shark as a Kit in 2016. We have several other B I G Surprises in the works for 2016. Let me tell you this, 2016 will be the biggest year EVER for Die-Hard Jaws Shark Fans! Gotta get back to work now. Have an AWESOME weekend my friends Shia Surprise....☺ Mike  I just wanted to share that EVERYTHING is still on schedule here.
[[ As usual☺]] November still looks to be the month that EVERYONE that is currently paid in full for a Pre-Order All -New ULTIMATE Bruce, ScarFace, Bruce 3D, AANNNDD the All New High Damage [HD] Bruce Busts should be getting their sharks this month. I know, I know, it is a bit earlier than late 4th Quarter but that's the way we try to roll around here. > ahem..< We LOVE to give realistic wait times for shark builds and customization's around here and THEN deliver early ☺ Yeah, it's a thing with us. So; so far all the various molds are looking great for everything. [[ As usual...]] But there is a literal TON of labor left to complete to get the line back up into high gear. Everything needs a main mold and then there are fin molds and teeth molds and accessory molds and mother-molds and frames for inserting them into the custom roto-caster etc... Anyway, that's the deal so far; looking good, a bit early and we are really having FUN here. Have a great week my friends. Mike |
