Wow. This is a very shrewd move on Stern's part....they don't have to worry about the design or distribution -but actually helps them keep the line going during the down times (and makes money!).

Frankly this could be the beginning of a great relationship for both parties. Rick brings the machines ready to be manufactured by Stern. This is just another extension of Stern Pin into new and potentially profitable areas by strengthening the relationship with the owner of William's licenses. THINK of the possibilities if this goes well!

Well played Gary. Well played!

GOOD MOVE RICK. Best of luck to all involved.

Very interesting line of reasoning.....considering both are original William's designs (ie no license).....I own FH, but wouldn't mind a Cirqus....

(as an aside RICK- I swear you have the patience of a Saint- I get tired reading the MMR thread derails!....please know that most of us appreciate all you hard work and look forward to our MMR deliveries!).
