Do you think that Castle would pass the opportunity to sell to the world's biggest store? Think about it, do you think I make my money on low volume higher price? I turned down Astro Bob due to low volume. Patrick has said he has to offer the distributors a good discount and do you think if you put all of the distributors together they would have as much cash as Walmart? Walmart is good and all for creating jobs, but Walmart has also destroyed a lot of business' through the world. They're not the only ones though, but they would pose a higher threat to the Hobby industry then Pep Boys.
