I also used to work at DWR, and none of this is a shock to me, or, I think, anyone at corporate. I'm certain that one of the higher ups at DWR will write AT a letter stating that everything is fine. That's what they always do. It's called "damage control". Just wait. Not only is the company out of reach, but deliberately so. Last Xmas or the one before they carried Lincoln Logs. These were the same as the logs in toy stores, but DWR charged like 5 times what everyone else did. Why? Because the people who run DWR thought they could get away with price gouging. They just thought people would pay more, because it came from DWR. DWR carried chirping birds a few Christmases ago. DWR sold them for $25 each. Walgreens had the same birds for $5. When I worked there, I asked many people "Why does good design have to be so expensive?" No one ever had an answer. The answer as to why good design has to be expensive is that DWR thinks they can get big bucks even when it's not worth it, because of the brand.

Wow! This must be a joke.
