One thing I hope that we do not do is abandon kit makers like Sig because of bumps in the road.
Modelers won't abandon kit makers as long as they produce quality kits at a fair price. Those requirements have to be met for the company to succeed. If not then customers will look elsewhere. Sadly that's what is happening to Sig. They have quality and a fair price but they are not producing.
Also, it is not good business to keep a large inventory of stock that is not in high demand.
It is not good business to keep nothing in stock either. If you don't have it you can't sell it. Sig has discontinued all it's a
ARF models even though there is a high demand for them. What kind of marketing strategy is that?
I agree with everything else you said.
