I ask that you to pay by check to avoid PayPal fees. I will continue to offer PayPal as a payment option for convenience. Payment will not be requested until just before the cars are ready to ship.

Please take a minute to review what I show for you. If its correct, I don't need to hear from you. If I've made a mistake, please PM or email me.

Still holding at 137.

So, how about we drop the idea of using EXACTLY the same DCX color and use a similar Dodge/ Chrysler orange (just not the exact color)? How many orders would be cancelled? Probably a few.

I believe most of us are intending to give the cars away to kids, right? Does anyone really think these will be collectable? So, do we really care that it isn't the exact color?

CJ suggested that we start at the beginning of the colors Prowler was produced in. As this is the 10th anniversary, I started with purple and yellow. I offered the orange because I'd started that process last year when we did the deep candy red.

If I do it next year, black and Prowler red would be the next colors. We might be able to squeeze in silver as we'd only need (70) each of black and red to place an order. I'm getting concerned by Maisto's price increases. No telling where they'll be next year. The increase from the first order to the second was almost 9%. The increase this year was almost 24% and they demanded another almost 9% to do the Prowler orange cars. The orange cars like the deep candy red cars last year are produced to match color masters provided by DaimlerChrysler. Maisto insisted on written permission from DCX before they agreed to produce these colors for POA.

Dealing with Maisto hasn't been fun. They change their demands even after we have a price quote. During their slow season like now, our order which was placed February 2nd. won't arrive in the US until mid-May.

I've explored all other alternative sources and they claim they can't match Maisto's price, even with the recent increases. One issue is that zinc is up over 300% from a year ago plus shipping has increased.

I have streamlined my process cutting out every cost that I could think of to keep the delivered case price as reasonable as possible. Your sending me a check in payment for your order saves over 3% in PayPal fees helping to keep the cost down. I don't ask for payment until the cars are ready to arrive because of the long time delay between collecting orders and receiving the product.

Think of what this effort has done. With the latest orders, we have purchased over 40,000 cars. Giving these cars away has made a LOT OF CHILDREN HAPPY and probably changed the minds of many people in regard to the people that own and drive a Prowler. I do this as a courtesy to fellow Prowler owners. A number of people that buy cars are not even POA members but they love their cars and want to share with the children there meet at shows, events and even in parking lots when out driving their cars.

Mattel has quoted me a price of 0.66 per car, including shipping, on our Dodge Charger Police cars, but they have not given me a decision on if they would do the orange Prowlers for us. I will keep you posted.
