I am NOT amazed that MTH is selling off most of the holdings in the showroom and warehouse. The majority is PS1 or PS2 and car/building proto types or items no longer in production. When you sell a large company why would you keep dead product? A new company will have no use for it and the old company can sell or auction, as is the case now, and make some money off of it. The real funny part is watching the auction and seeing people bid higher that what the item originally sold for. But the extreme fun is watching them do this and the item is still available. I was bidding on a car, decided to check retail on MTH web site, found 2 dealers who had it. Bought it for less than retail with shipping. Final price at auction was $20 over retail and they still had to add sales tax and shipping DUH!
As for the MTH membership, Yep I did it as I always do. Premier membership and RailKing car extra. Why? Cause I wanted to and wanted the items. My choice.
