A price Increase for Catalyst ForcePacks was initiated the week of June 6th, set forth by Catalyst to all distribution channels. This was an immediate price increase, and while we held out as long as we could, we had to change our pricing to comply on June 27th for all ForcePacks listed.
On the same date, Catalyst also did a price increase on the A Game of Armored Combat Box Set and the Mercenaries Box Set...however, they did NOT change the printed price on the back of the box. The boxes we are now getting in, at the increased pricing, show the original price on the box. As we feel this is a very deceptive practice, we have noted this issue on those product pages until Catalyst rectifies the issue as we wish to be fully transparent on the issue.
At the time of this post, we've spoken with management at Catalyst, and while they also understand it was communicated to distribution this was to take effect immediately, they have yet to update their own site. I was informed on the 25th that it would be handled "End of June". You will see those increases soon on their own website.
Currently, our discounted pricing is STILL cheaper than their listed price...so you will still save money by purchasing through us. We just wanted to be completely transparent about this price increase and to let you know we held out as best as we could but due to incoming shipments for the last 2-3 weeks paying that higher price, we could not longer absorb that on our end.
Thank you in advance for your understanding

EDIT 07/01/2025 - Catalyst has yet to update their own site. Since Management at Catalyst informed us it would be done "End of June" I have emailed them for an explanation as this makes retailers, as well as distribution centers look bad for raising pricing while their own site hasn't.
EDIT 07/03/2025 - Catalyst Management has not responded at this time. We have also edited our original post as it seems both the A Game of Armored Combat box and the Mercenaries box sets have increased in price...however, Catalyst has the OLD PRICE printed on the box. Any issue with this confusion needs to be directed to Catalyst as this is a correction they need to make.
