Tomy-UK en DANGER !

Bonjour .

J'ai reçu un mail de slotcarsdirect en Angleterre.
Tomy arreterait d'importer le Tomy-AFX en UK . Il restera seulement les antennes USA et Australie.

Pas pratique du tout , pour nous Européens , quand on a juste à commander quelques voitures , quelques rails ou pieces detachées.

Ci dessous , l'explication de la situation en Anglais. Un modele de petition va suivre...

Dear Customer,

I really need your help to save Tomy AFX in Europe. Eight years ago when Tomy UK gave up on the AFX range I took it on to keep this fantastic slot car system going. I have had to fight to keep the Tomy AFX system going for all these years but now it seems that the suppliers that have always delivered in the past have now stopped and the range is to disappear from Europe altogether. After weeks of trying to get Tomy to carry on letting me import the range and even trying to negotiate with Racemasters in the USA, I have drawn a blank. I need you to help me put pressure on Tomy UK to get them to see how big a customer following they have for the AFX. I need you and all your friends to email Tomy UK to express your concern in loosing my back up for the range. As we all know I have kept the prices down to what they were eight years ago, £9.00-£11.00, Racemasters USA have increased theirs to an all time high of between £18.00 - £25.00 which is as we know puts them in the 1/32nd price range. It is time to be heard, and pressure from all of us is the only way I can think of to make Tomy sit up and take note. I have drafted a letter below that you can copy and paste into your email or you can use your own words of help which would probably be better for more impact. Please, please, don’t just ignore this, it will see the end of AFX in Europe. Yes you will be able to import from the USA, but you will also have to pay for that privilege. Act now and save the AFX range in Europe. THANKYOU.

Modele de petition à envoyer chez Tomy UK

Dear Sirs,

It has come to my attention when visiting Slotcarsdirects web site, that the Tomy AFX range will no longer be available to us Europeans anymore because no one at Tomy is willing to help with the importing or supplying of this fantastic slot car range. I have dealt with Barry from Slotcarsdirect for many years and for Tomy to now turn its back on him and Europe is devastating to us all. Why is America and Australia allowed to continue with the range but we are not. As a Tomy customer I find this very bias towards other communities and I am shocked that this is how Tomy see the European market, 2nd place. I hope you understand my frustration with Tomy and want to know how are you going to support the AFX range in the future when you have took away the only real support we have had over the last eight years.

Yours sincerely, (ton nom)

Vous pouvez aussi envoyer un mail plus personnel (si vous ecrivez en Anglais correct).
Vous pouvez mentionner les liens des sections HO des 4 forums Français .
Les sites et les blogs Francophones (hoslotfrance,jacotyco,zanza, en connaissez vous d'autres ?)

Bref , montrer qu'il y a des Europeens qui jouent avec le Tomy-AFX.

(inutile de mentionner les Allemands et les Anglais , la petition tourne deja chez eux...)

Merci d'avance !
