I actually think it was the insane and inane distrobution that hurt more than anything, I know of at least 5 guys who have told me they would buy the line if they could have found it that first year (nothing visible to wave 5 or 6) and it wasn't the "big selling power" that caused that but a lack of shipments. Even after they started getting out better it never really improved that much (just a few bones every couple of months) and I honestly think they lost a huge chunk of change with that.
I won't even get into what the Duke arms probably did LOL.
