I don't disagree with your point on the guys you've mentioned. I've done business with some and will continue to do so. But I think we can also take advantage of the big guys as well. I believe there is room for all of them.

Why can't we buy a MF set and get teams that look this good?

expect more!!

WOW!!!! No problem with that...and i know what you mean because i'm working to put on sale a custom hockey game which players will move by the way of ball bearing puck bases and i'm working with some big table hockey companies (who already have NHL liscencing) to make this game work. We're at the beginning of the process but so far, it is very positive. But between you and me, how much it will going to cust to get this game as well as all the NFL teams (2 sets of 11 players, one offense and 1 defense)? me personnaly i'm willing to pay between 800-1000$ to get all this but is all the coaches are willing to pay all that money?

Please give me your feedback

But Steve, how many people start off at that level. Me, I'll attempt to get a lot of the customized stuff but most newbies are buying a Miggle board and figures. Some are satisfied at that point while some move on to big boards and customized teams. I believe that there should be manufacturers of ALL stripes to address every level of hobbiest. As I stated...the more the merrier!

... and there's nothing wrong with that...... Like fast food compared to a fine restaurant.

There seems to be a NEED for some fine dining in this hobby. With so much talent within the MFCA it just seems a waste that we can't pool some of it together and come up with someting of our own that's really fantastic.

Its something I would like to see in the future... we have some nice MFCA products now, and the sideline crews are looking awesome. I am optimistic that in the near future, the MFCA will actually produce a MF board and/or figures....

This is my vision for the future.

I too hope that one day soon manufacturers will be able to produce teams as sweet as your Titans. I'm just saying...give the new company time to grow. Let them walk before they begain to run. I know that I will not pay $500-$1000 for a board. That is somewhere around the going price for a customized game board from members of the MFCA. Also, I recall certain members (MPLSTOM) having a problem getting his product after forking over funds. I just don't think it is a good idea to knock a company who is trying to satisfy the hobbiest, when the goal in business is to make the quick dollar, then abort mission. I think we are a blessed group. The fact that we have the interest of Excallibur & Miggle is an accomplishment in itself. Miggle tried to bring back the 620, and I'm sure they lost lots of $, but they tried. If Excallibur does improove their players, bases, and game boards...will they get praise, or will jealousy, and envy raise their ugly heads? If Miggle makes a funtional board...will we praise it, or judge it harshly?

I prefer the analogy of a smorgasbord. You walk up...get what you want, as much as you want and leave a happy camper. Something for everyone.

Ya get no argument here.

I believe that the MFCA should continue to do what it does and leave the business of making products to it's membership and/or manufacturers out there. Now the MFCA can be a catalyst for change but it's more than a notion to start-up and run a business.

This is my vision for the future.

Not a bad vision. But like Kotix said...you gotta walk before you run.

I don't know, it just seems to me that if you can't improve on what's out there already, then why get involved in it at all. Scientific and other advancement build upon the discovery or technology of its previous generation. I would like to have seen excalibur do more market research and perhaps a little R & D before then entered our hobby. New products should be an advancement and an improvement over the current model. Perhaps ten (10) years from now they will have figures, bases or boards as good as what some peolple are making today. Let's all be patient and wait. Nothing but time here......

Coaches have developed better products on their own.

I for one will continue to support these "independents", BB, RR, and ITZ because they have earned it by producing high quality products.

wow, these are all very great posts
