What a damn shame.

I might buy a few of the 10308 kits before they aren't available anymore. They make some terrific parts. They will be missed.

Yeah, I saw this on another site the other day. Like I said there, it's sad but it doesn't surprise me a bit. The haven't really come out with any great new products in some time. COMP pretty much has their market covered, and pretty much always has.

Yea, I'm not thinking it's Out of Business.
