jerry curtis Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Does anyone know if or when the lightorama store will reopen for controller orders? It looks like they are selling what is in stock but not taking additional orders.Sort of has that liquidation/bankruptcy feeling since last year’s sales was in July.

That has the natives restless.:shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 When Dan calls the vendors to find out where his parts are, they keep telling him 'it's in the mail'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott T Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I think we all have smelled something but either didn't want to believe it or just did want to say it. I sure hope this is not true.

Max-Paul Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Im with Jeff on this one. I think it is just what has happened in the world any more "Best laid plans of mice and men". Deadlines are not met anymore and thus, even though you try to bring a product out on a given date. It will always be slipped back a few weeks or months or quarters. I believe that Dan a crew bit off more than they could chew and so everything is falling back on delivery date that they originally planned for. Course this is got to be hurting their cash flow too.

rwertz Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I doubt this is some horrible omen of the state of the LOR company. My guess is it is the result of JIT manufacturing (Just-in-Time). If everything goes well you avoid tying up a lot of capital in inventory. If something goes wrong, you struggle to meet delivery schedules. I've seen both results at the company I work for.

Denise Brunner Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 If you look at how Dan runs the company, especially with the great Customer Service I doubt its anything to do with a bankrupcy. I think it has more to do inventory not being in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Whitaker Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I believe that we might be waiting on the supplier of the new G3 boards. Perhaps the sale will change tomorrow night. I don't think that you are going to find anyone that can do anything but speculate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I wish they'd put the kits up for sale again. I want to buy more now that I know how easy it is to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 If you PM Dan, ask if he can still do either the sale price on kits, or waive shipping cost.. with the state of things, he might surprise you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
