...When we received the C&D letter from K2, we had approximately 12-14 Illusions finished and ready to go. We got into a low position because the Illusions were selling faster than we anticipated. For some reason, we had a run on them over the last several months.
As I stated in another post, we were just in the process of starting a new batch when we received the K2 letter. (We have various Illusion parts half finished, including about two hundred lower receiver blocks.) With the pump maket being a fairly small segment of the overall PB market, we produce the Illusion in relatively small batches.
Our first reaction to K2's letter was that we can't afford to fight a battle with them, so let's move on. In the meantime, some very significant information was presented to us that gave us the reassurance that K2 has no basis for their threats.
Because of the strength of that information, we have now decided to ignore K2's threats. Unfortunately all of the Illusions that we had at the time were already commited to people that had been waiting for quite a while. One group had six of them on order. I even let Andy talk me out of my personal red-black fade Illusion for a customer.
As of last week, we only had one Illusion available. It is an orange to yellow fade. Whe I realized we had one left, I snagged it as a sample and it is in my office.
I'll tell you what, if you feel you were in line for one, and want the orange-yellow (glossy, polished) one, call Andy and I'll let go of it!!! (It is a beautiful one. I think we only made six of them in that color.) It resides in my office closet at the moment.
Presently our manufacturing schedule is booked with Diadem and Sentinel parts. Thus the "availability in the fall".
