Model Forum / General / Models / January 2006Is Polar Lights Going Though Tough Times?
Man ,one of the more decent model companies & their websight is anemic looking,no new items,WHERE do you BUY them?. > Man ,one of the more decent model companies & their websight is anemic > looking,no new items,WHERE do you BUY them?. Since RC/Ertl bought them out awhile back they kind of killed off the division. Anything coming out new probably won't be in PL boxings. It's amazing what screw-ups these RC people are. JMHO.

In Playing Mantis' case, RC bought it all to get the Johnny Lightning line (IMHO). They are trashing Polar Lights. RLM Polar Lights, along with Johnny Lightning Diecasts, were bought up with Playing Mantis, their manufacturer, in June 2004 by RC2 Brands, and was positioned in with AMT/Ertl model kits--no word, but it appears that AMT/Ertl has little interest in reissuing the old PL tools, or adding any new ones.

And their literature is in 2 languages also,could it be....global compitition?.I just picked up the Enterprise NX from the Scott Backula version & it's a distraction with the assembly instructions in whatever other important language the seem to need.I've noticed too, that all the Revell car kits are going for $10.99.On Sun, 22 Jan 2006 >Polar Lights, along with Johnny Lightning Diecasts, were bought up with >Playing Mantis, their manufacturer, in June 2004 by RC2 Brands, and was [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> Man ,one of the more decent model companies & their websight is anemic >> looking,no new items,WHERE do you BUY them?. |
