What a shame. I'm disappointed but not surprised that Code 3 would screw the pooch on the Tarrytown. Oh well, there in business to make money so I don't blame them. As for their legions of apologists......that's another matter.
I decided some time ago, to stop buying Code 3 items, due to their lack of consistency, major engineering errors, & their "attitude." I have to say they have made that decision a very easy one to keep to. They haven't produced a single piece this year I would have purchased. I still think the blue Tarrytown ALF is ugly, but to each their own I guess.
To each is own alright!! It sold out in less than 12 hours, and two of the major dealers are already showing it as sold out on their end as well. If I was doing the books at C-3 I'd have to say there is nothing to complain about.
That's true, from Code 3's standpoint it's just great that the majority of their customers will happily settle for a half-assed replica at a bloated price.
