I'm not sure I understand all this schadenfreude.  We are a very small hobby, and it seems to me that everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) who ventures their own money to try and provide us with the toys we want deserves our support, if only moral. . If they are successful, good luck to them, as no-one is compelled to buy what they offer. If they fail, then they lose in the real world, with all the pain and hardship that entails, and why should we rejoice at that?   All in all,  it is each individual's choice as to whether or not to buy their products, but I fear it is less than generous to gloat over their problems.  This all leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Sorry!  :(

PS this is not my period, so I have never bought any of their products.

All boils down to a lamentable lack of understanding of how the retail world operates and the factors involved.
