Here's a conversation I had with someone and why they'd moved away from tlr
Quote:
They closed all the accounts and made all model shops re-apply to be able to buy from them, but instead of giving an account to everyone, they limited it to a handful so only a few select shops would be able to continue to buy horizon imported products at a price the modelshop can make profit on. The rest of the model shops where told to they could buy stuff but at retail price, leaving them no scope to make their own money from the sale. Hence Modelsport etc selling off their losi stuff cheap and not offering it for sale any longer.
Just greed, horizon then opened up their own online store, which if you live on the main EU landmass, is great, but for us in the UK or further afield its doubled shipping costs and time.
