I can tell you from personal experience. Getting a product out of Asia right now is very difficult. This will be the second spring and summer seasons with no new shipments for us. Our manufactures have moved to made to order. With almost no stock inventory to fill orders. They also have no warm bodies to make inventory. Asia has a real production problem.

If the price for venturing an opinion on “your” MTJ about the market events automatically is a requirement I invest my wherewithal to produce what I espouse otherwise keep my mouth shut, so be it. I (and several others who were here) have already invested more than enough in the scale over the years, thank you very much, so this time I’ll go with the latter (admittedly the more difficult course for me).

HUH? WHAT? Not mine by any means and your opimion is ALWAYS welcome. In my opinion.

We can of course throw darts at the major players for acting like unconstrained monopolies, but didn't Mike Wolf single-handedly upset the Lionel stranglehold on toy trains? We have no more entrepreneurs with the savvy that Mike brought to the business?
Roger alludes to the OGR threads bemoaning the lack of whatever it is that posters think Sunset or Lionel or MTH ought to be doing. I always stick my nose in there with the "wow-what an opportunity - an underserved market!" comment.

I have made a similar statement many times and found it draws no response at all. I filed doing that under wasting time and irritating electrons both.
