Doug yes Corgi merged with Master replica in 2006.
A lot of persons are living Corgi the director is gone on end of March I think and lot of other are gone since begining of last year. Corgi have cash problems as all the other diecasts manufacturers due to increase of China costs; labor, metal...
The last words I received few weeks ago from the marketing coordinator is E are going to realise all the fire models we plan to do this year all the rumors are false.
All the rumors are coming from UK.
If you go to US Corgi site you can see the Seagrave Sweetheart Boston FD is available and also the 2 sets of fire fighters.

Here is a word on the Corgi Forum by the Us director:
Hi everyone,

This is NOT TRUE. Here is an e-mail from our GM, David Davenport, who wrote me this e-mail in response to this rumor from the UK about the cancellation of these pieces:


Hello Alyssa,



I understand that you are receiving calls and emails from customers, consumers and distributors. The calls relate to a significant reduction in sku’s, particularly US related subject matter. This came to us by way of the UK account known as Jumblies Models.



I worked on forecasts this past weekend. We are going to “tie together” the US and UK forecasts for the purpose of production in China. The UK direction here does NOT necessarily dictate the decisions that will eventually be taken by US Management. As you know, I shall depart Corgi at the end of March. Between now and then however, Senior Management will be making decisions as to the marketing of North American appropriate subject matter.



Until this exercise is completed, all else is speculation only.
