"Birds of a feather that DON'T flock together become feather dusters. On sale at Macy's."--Groucho Marx
Truth in those words, I think.  Neither wants the other to fail out-right, and together they both might survive the inclement economic disaster going on right now.  Disasters, like politics, makes for strange bed-fellows.

For Poser 8 figures, I think they might be best served by serving the customer's interest. A "Universal" in-store credit for figures to be included in the product. Customer picks who he wants.

Daz and E-Frontier could do "Blister packs" to enable the picking and choosing among items of same cost.  It's an old retail dodge, but one I haven't seen associated with Poser or Daz..

I guess anything might be possible now. We'll have to see what happens.

I cannot save the world. Only my little piece of it. If we all act together, we can save the world.--Nelson Mandela
