You are correct Will.
One of the challenges with this news is that you are seeing the result of not only a changing demographic in the hobby, but the also in the people who are dedicated to bringing these products to market. It's a hard business model to succeed in, especially considering the ever changing global economic landscape. The best product coming to market has been brought to us by people who have had decades in this business and they are not able to find adequate replacements for their retirement. It's easy to make generalizations about anyone who manages the day to day operations of a factory, but the reality is they are good at what they do from years of experience. This is true whether it's is China or the US.
