Yeah, they had a great reputation around here until just before Christmas. I don't pay attention to the digital stuff at all, but before they lost their minds in Germany, it was a good buy, even with their scale problems. Run a bunch of them on the track together and you'll never see the out of scale stuff. Of course, they should have learned from Ninco's debacle that if you raise the price on something you already sell well, it becomes less worthwhile, whether quality degrades or not. Price vs. value is an equation that is fluid. Raise the price, value automatically suffers, regardless of quality. Capriciously make a valued and special employee unemployed just before Christmas without any stated cause- well, you can't buy back trust. Drop the entire product line that appeals to a customer nation, then raise the price on what's left- they should prepare to become a much smaller company, just like Ninco.
