hey AntonioFP45 - got an idea that supports what you've suggested above. I think your idea is a good one, and frankly a whole lot better approach than the ranting and raving going nowhere witnessed on many of the "lets get UP" posts. <br /> <br />Here's the deal: Someone, more familiar than I am w/ all the ins & outs of this issue, prepare a simple, non-confrontationable, non-threatening, and properly spelled letter to the manufacturers - possibly listing all the offending parties - but simply stating that their marketing and pricing practices relative to UP branded items are noted w/ displeasure, and that the undersigned modeler does not intend to patronize their products in the future, until they correct the errors of their ways, etc. If a letter such as this were signed by an entire club roster it could have even more impact. To make it easy, a master could be created w/ all the websites of the manufacturers listed, and the letter could be downloadable, so all one would have to do basically is download it sign it, and hit "send" . This would cut down on offensive emails and letters that do not achieve much of anything and tend to be deleted when opened. One could also download the letter in a print version and mail it. That's my opinion.
