Let's get the purple numbers up so we can make a clean sweep of all colors!

Dealing with Maisto has never been fun. I was given their pricing and order requirements for this purchase. Despite their huge price increase, they have come back and said that they will only sticker the cards as they did last year. Additionally, they wanted another $.05 per car for the orange cars plus a minimum order of 15,000 (209 cases). With anyone else once you've made a deal, its a deal. This isn't the case with Maisto nor the Chinese. Its just a place to start negotiating. I told them that there was no way that I could pay an extra $.05 per car. I also advised them that I didn't think that I could gather orders for 15,000 orange cars. I told them that we had the original 5,000 orders in hand and are keeping ordering open until mid-February.

As of today, we have just over half the number of purple cases that we need and have the original 5,000 minimum covered for yellow and orange.

I sorted the lists from the first two purchases for those that haven't responded hoping that there is more interest but they haven't seen the post or opportunity. I will also be sending out private messages or emails to those that I need more information from regarding their shipping address or phone number. Unless I hear otherwise, I will assume that your address is the same as you used this past July.

All past purchasers have been emailed or PM'd. Few have responded. Some have let me know out of courtesy that they still had a supply and didn't need any. That helps me with forecasting. Every time that I do this a fair number of people awake to the opportunity "AFTER" the order is placed.

I will only order what people tell they want. I do not order extra cases anticipating that some people may want them latter. A few people change their minds before the cars arrive and don't end up taking what they ordered. To date, others have stepped up and purchased these. I just hope that those people don't assume that this is a regular occurrence.
