The new digital HerpaClub:
One reason for discontinuing the WingsClub as early as the end of 2022 was a change in the legal framework! Unfortunately, however, the development and realization of the new digital concept took longer. This explains the time gap between the old WingsClub and the new digital HerpaClub!
The new concept:
The WingsWorld will be made available digitally to all collectors free of charge on the Herpa website. New reports will be posted on an ongoing basis.
The new HerpaClub will be an online club without membership fees.
There will still be exclusive club models.
Novelty brochures will continue to be sent to former WingsClub members by mail.
There will be three statuses for members – Bronze – Silver – Gold – with different discount levels when purchasing in the Herpa store (online only). Former WingsClub members will receive Gold status (including 10% discount in the online store) at the start of the new club.
The new Herpa website will be bilingual (German/English), will have revised search and filter functions, among other things, and will include a product archive.
