Märklin & Trix 2008 Preorder Program

We are busy preparing our Märklin & Trix 2008 Preorder Program and all USA Dealers received Retail Prices for the new items during the first week of February. We are waiting for New Item Brochures so that we can prepare our own informative pages. What I have noticed though is that many dealers have their web sites prepared for the new item ordering, yet so far, I have not found any of the major dealers committing to prices! They all use "TBD" and somehow expect the customers to order without knowing the prices. Several even claim to have a "lowest price guaranteed". It is not our intention to EVER expect a customer to order blindly. IMHO, no one wants to be the first dealer to set a "benchmark" for pricing so they're taking a "wait and see" attitude. You can be sure that we'll present our competitive prices in due time. Remember, our prices remain fixed regardless of the Euro/Dollar exchange rate and you'll pay the price in effect at the time of ordering, not a "floating" price.
