RE: [photo-3d] Status of View-Master Personal Reels

[Eddie Bowers <eddieb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just so frustrating. Especially when they have so many orders for
reels and thanks to Ebay there are a lot of new Personal Stereo Camera
users. Do they not make money on these?
Anyway, hopefully some 3rd party can come in a fill the gap at some point
and produce after market type reels.

Every once in a while I contact Debra Borer, the person in charge of VM
Personal reels sales at Fisher-Price to see what the current status is.
Here is what she sent to me yesterday:

I thought others might be interested.
