MAYBE somewhere in South America? But ya, I'm with you, Lenny. There are not a
lot of additional markets beyond what you named.
Plus I think unless they ramp up their model building staff, they are going to
fall farther behind on model replacement/renewal. When I was at LL CA in Feb, I
found many of the models (coming up on their 4th anniversary) to be extremely
sun faded. UK fans have remarked on the same problem in Windsor (it was
noticable even in 2000 when I was there, and I hear it's somewhat worse).
I suspect models that are grayish pink instead of bright red probably do not
have the same "oomph" with the general public.
