# 1 - Associated is owned by Thunder Tiger - a multi national company that is in business to do one thing only - make MONEY, make lots and make it as quickly as possible...
# 2 - Our hobby (and hobbies in general) have been hit HARD by this - well, whatever you wanna' call it but I think the official term is 'economic downturn' and NO company is as strong as it would like to be as a result.
# 3 - Although demographics are impossible to find, let's just say that there are.... oh... let's be optimistic - let's say 2,500 of us nut cases world wide that would LOVE to see a re-release.... and then let's figure that WE can suck another 1000 or so in for this walk down memory lane...
See where I'm headed?? In my opinion, the numbers are NOT big enough to even cause a meeting at Thunder Tiger - or wherever these decisions are made... BUT, knowing a bit about Asian business practices and ethics I can say that in no way could the numbers be big enough to interest the management of Thunder Tiger or any other large, multi national group.
NOW, my heart says 'Gawd I hope I'm wrong and live to be old enough to EAT those words'!!!!!!
