Having read the recent threads and posts here and on many other boards, I believe I may have the answer to all of these issues...... bear with me.
RC2 is dumping lines that they say aren't profitable, right? So far, JL has made the cut.
So far.
They've also made it clear that the infant and child market is where their main success/profit is generated, right?
So, here's the answer to saving the future for our Johnnie's:
Let's all unite and make a public deal with RC2.
If they agree to not drop Johnny Lightning, we'll agree that for every three Johnnie's we buy, we'll each buy one Thomas the Train piece. They keep our favorite die cast line open, and we contribute to their profit center.
Is this a bit like extortion? Heck ya, but they've kinda got us by the jewels, no? This way, we have a little leverage to ensure a future for our favorite brand.
New Motto: Save a Johnny, buy a train :hat:
