Help Save Foose/Full Throttle!

August
As reported a month or so ago, the JL Full Throttle line has been in limbo for a bit and is potentially teetering on the brink of extinction. The JL Full Throttle Team recently updated their MySpace Blog with the following:
“In the midst of a recall on RC2’s biggest and most lucrative line, Thomas the Tank Engine’s wooden railway, the JL Full Throttle Foose Diecast line seems to have been lost. From what we know the team at RC2 has pulled the plug in order to shill more of it’s Johnny Lightning product. The Major retailers are currently resetting their departments for teh fall seling season and we don’t see any listings for the Foose line. Obviously we feel like they have overlooked a big market and fear this could be a permanent end to this very cool new line of cars from everyone’s favorite designer/customizer and fabicator, Mr. Chip Foose. Since we don’t have an email as of yet, feel free to give them a call or write them a letter expressing your displeasure with their decision.
