[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Martin4 I think the Walthers move will be a good thing. For the last few years LL Proto prices went up much faster than any of its competitors. They have incredible detail that was previously seen only on brass models but most of their issues were sold out before they reached the hobby shops. LL has a lot of annouced models that nobody has seen yet. Walthers money will make them able to finally get all those models to the market and I would bet on new issues of previous short runs. Martin Québec City [/quote] Walthers has more or less being doing the same thing with their own models - produce a batch and retire the molds. There have been many posts inquiring about the tug boat and other models in their waterfront series. Why should they be any different with LL models? They surely know that "limited run" models usually sell out, so they don't have to pay the cost of warehousing several thousand copies of the model, hoping they will eventually sell. Unsold models sitting on the shelves cost a firm money. Bob Boudreau
