Well I hope the responses keep coming. Maybe we can start a movement Student. And you are right about the pricing too ericsp. Something fishy is going on in Athearn land and the rest of these manufacturers I think. Now we all know that no bussiness gives away stuff for free. For instance, lets take the next release of Athearns UP Challenger. No if I remember correctly MSRP is around five or six hundred dollars US. Then why are dealers offering it for under three? Maybe it is just me but it is like I said when I started this post. Is funny how RC redy to flys are getting so cheap and they have to be somewhat labor intensive. And Hobby Horizon is big in that bussiness. So how can they put balsa planes together so cheap and yet a plastic molded loco with maybe a couple dozen detail parts cost so much. And sure, the molds are not cheap. But of you are gonna run a few thousand items and then discontinue it sure someone is gonna have to pay for that. So why the seemingly such short runs. HEY, LETS START THAT MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
