I thank everyone for their ideas and work to make sure that we met the purple minimum quantity.

We have exceeded the minimum requirement for both purple and yellow. Those purchases will proceed the first week of February as planned.

The question then becomes, what do we do about orange? We could simply not place that portion of the order giving everyone that wanted orange an opportunity to select purple or yellow. We could also substitute an existing color such as: black, Prowler red, silver, gold, blue or deep candy red as long as we order 70 cases of an existing color.

I'm proposing two choices. If you're interested in the same quantity, pick purple or yellow before we order in early February or Prowler red if we can get 70 cases. As these cars are for younger children, most kids like bright colors. Prowler red would fit that criteria like yellow.

Now, let's hear what you have to suggest.

I will add this at the end of this post and under General for all to see. I will also start sending PM's or emails to all that expressed an interest in orange. I'm very sorry but have not have any success with Maisto to date. They do exactly what they want to do. Forget about honoring their commitments.

Make my order 1 Purple, 1 Yellow and 1 Red.

Thanks for doing this,

Here's what I'm going to do. The yellow and purple orders will remain open until February first. The price is as stated, $62 delivered in the lower 48 states and $48 either picked up from my house or $48 plus actual shipping to anywhere else.

I will not solicite orders for red at this time. Its purple or yellow or wait. I have been planning to make one purchase per year rotating through the colors as they were offered. I will keep a seperate running list of all that expressed an interest in orange. When we get near the 209 case minimum, I'll will contact everyone to verify that they are still interested. I will also confirm the pricing. Today, pricing would be $66.50 per case delivered to the lower 48 states and $52.50 picked up from my house or $52.50 plus actual shipping anywhere else.

I will edit my post with the master list and establish a new post offering the orange cars along with a running list. I will contact everyone to comfirm their intentions toward this purchase of purple and yellow asking if they want to wait for the orange, cancel or switch all or part of their orange order to another color.

There is one week remaining to order purple or yellow. the order goes to Maisto on February first.

I have been watching this for awhile and I think I will take a case of purple; so put me down for one (1). Thanks! Let me know when and what I should do next!

P.S. Hi CJ. Have not said hello to you in a long while.

I will continue to accept orders for cases of orange cars and post a closing date when it looks like we are close to hitting our minimum purchase requirement.
