I mentioned awhile back that the company will take international orders,
but as I suspected the position is now that they are not, and only
filling orders for North America I have been told. There distributor
for the international market will be handled by Hasbro International.
(that also includes U.K., and won't be distributed by Hobby Wholesalers
as was previously mentioned) Hmmm isn't that another toy company? With
all the discussions regarding Tyco being a toy company and not going
after the adult market, I find it curious that Hasbro doesn't seem to
mind persuing that segment of the market. Sure some will say that the
VM is a childrens toy and some will say it's because its marketed by a
toy company. In my opinion I regard the VM as a toy AND a wonderful
adult 3d system. As for being a toy company, what about Hasbro, isn't
that a toy company, or is it a front for the military!;-)
If anyone outside Canada and the US is interested in getting the
3Discover and or cassettes, let me know by email and will see
what I can do, since I live less than a mile from the plant and
can pick them up direct from the factory. :-) If you want to see
the 3Discover in anaglyph mode. (Not the best quality due to not
having the best equipement, so don't shoot the messenger! i.e.
the internet) Check out,
