Momaw, a great idea!
Sadly the Bussekin need only make a model to sell out completely. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
A review to generate more sales would be futile as they all always sell out,so much so that the secondary market is a side business for many who can afford to outlay the cash up front.
Being as they all sell out there will always be a secondary market for models..except for the "Scotch Dispenser and Sus Scrofa". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Scrap Yard models have always sold out in minuets too. By going to the open ordering format like Busse they are able to take many more orders from people who may at the time not have had the money but after 4 weeks they do so they order one..or two. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
This strategy will help to crimp some of the secondary market by giving more people ample time they reap the profits NOT the secondary market entrepreneurs.
Many folks like Horn Dog would welcome your idea for reviews in advance of a release,but until they need to advertise to sell out of a model we may never see this option. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Great idea though!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
