Oxymoron

... das ist für Horizon Hobby mit $18.8 Millonen ein Schnäppchen, zumal die Mindestforderung für die übernommenen Firmen (Great Planes, Tower Hobbies) und Marken (Axial, Arrma) eigentlich bei $22,0 Millionen lag, Horizon Hobby aber der einzige Bieter war. Estes wurde übrigens getrennt für $7,0 Millionen an The Langford Group verkauft. Für United Model und Revell ist noch kein Käufer bekannt... :rolleyes:

Mmmm.....
Dann drücken wir unseren ( verwöhnten ) amerikanischen Modellbaufreunden mal die Daumen,

dass die „ Integration „ in den USA besser funktioniert ;) als bei uns

Schon heftig, wie weiterhin schnell sich der Markt verändert.

Hoffe sehr, dass es langfristig weiterhin tolle US Marken wie Sullivan, DU-BRO, Pacer etc. geben wird.

Ob es je mit Konzentration von Marktmacht qualitativ bessere Produkte gab, wage ich zu bezweifeln.

Der einzige Grund sind bessere Renditen ( Gier ) oder schlicht der Zwang, nur so überleben zu können
