Default RE: Hobbico acquires Goldberg and Lanier!

This news is not surprising considering the acquisition strategy Mr. Anderson has been using since he started his company in 1981. It could be argued the TopFlite acquisition has resulted in a healthier brand with better consumer choice than remaining independent. My only concern is that as Anderson gains control of an increasingly larger share of the industry's established brands what will this do to prices? Newly introduced scale ARF prices are going up faster than inflation. Is Sig next?
