ALTIN COCUK IN THE FACTORY

At long last, after countless fuckups etc, today I took the godamn master to the factory.

But due to holidays traffic, it won't be ready before January 11.

Meanwhile, enjoy the festive season!

LATEST ULTIMATE CALAMITY!!!

I'm sick and tired of speaking of the devil and how often I ruin innocent people's lives.

Well, today I went to the studio for the final authoring touches etc and I found the chief guy ready to collapse, on a nervous crisis.

What had JUST happened?

Remember the FINAL DESTINATION horror series where death devises 100's of multi-complex plots in order to get the victims?

Similarly, if not identically, the devil did this:

The main studio room, with dozens of machines, pc's, servers and what not has an air-condition unit that keeps the room cool.

Now, the devil managed to cause a mysterious damage to the A/C unit which started leaking water at night while the chief was away of course.
It could have done this all the other 15 hours that he was there but it didn't.

Then, the water dropped on a pc monitor.
Somehow the water hit the proper circuit that caused a short-circuit on the pc.
As a mysterious result the short-circuit spread all over the other machines and blew them up.

And NOW, all the machines are dead, including the server that hosted ALL his projects including MINE.

Therefore, as it seems, all his work is gone to hell and unless it gets fixed somehow, he will have to buy new machines and start all over again which would cause a huge delay on my project.

When I went there and saw him ranting I felt like laughing and crying at the same time.

This could happen any of the other 51 weeks of the year BUT it HAD to happen the exact week that my project was being processed!!

GOD HELP ME!

and even better, contact the guys directly for more info.

GOOD LUCK SINEMATIC AND CONGRATULATIONS!

CURRENT SHIT...

A guy earlier suggested I should get promotion and visibility on big sites like Eccentric Cinema or Av Maniacs.

Well, I already tried them but they just connected me with their balls.
Not even a response to say "no thanks".

What's funny is those particular sites boast they present independent labels and other crap but obviously I'm not independent enough for them.
...........................................................................................................................................

Otherwise, these days I'm experiencing the bad old days' usual devilish shit.

My daughter is sick and every day we're running from doctor to doctor.

I got a horrible pain in the back which kept me some days in bed and now I'm walking like Star Wars' Yonda and I can't even lift a feather.

My studio guy who's working on the dvd authoring is ill with the flu.

PLUS, the guy who designs my covers just got divorced just like my webmaster!

So, ALL the people connected with me are going through hell and me and my family are currently bazzard's meat.

All in all, my mood and psychology are below zero and I just feel like killing myself...
...Something that sure delays the new dvd process....

UN-CARING AUDIENCE????

I felt I HAD to clear this in public..

A faithful buyer, Fred Anderson at Av Maniacs who also runs the great blog http://ninjadixon.blogspot.com/ was hurt by my words "UN-CARING AUDIENCE" in my previous post about the hassles of getting some new films.

Ok, DEAR Fred and everyone else hurt by my words...

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT "UN-CARING" STRICTLY REFERS TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT MY DVD's!!!

I'd be nuts if I called my CARING buyers UN-CARING, for God's sake guys!

I was just talking about people who call themselves cult/trash/pulp/b-movie/mondo fans BUT prefer to either download my (or anybody's) releases or just read about them and NEVER EVER buy them.

I'm a PROUD fan because I have spent a fortune and have got not even my cash back, let alone any profit.
I've made sacrifices, I've given blood sweat and tears too for this kind of films and I find it absurd that only a few dozens of people THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLANET buy my dvd's.

I mean, I could just release 500 copies of PAINT GOING DRY or GRASS GROWING and I BET there would 500 wackos who would buy those 500 copies.
And there are NOT 500 curious "fans" to check those turkish films?

I mean, I can see 100's, 1000's of blogs, sites, magz, whatever, with millions of people participating and obviously eager to experience this kind of films, ok?
BUT WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY WHEN A DVD COMES OUT?

NEW ACQUISITIONS ADVENTURE INFO.

In a previous post I was talking about a mad greedy collector in Ankara who owns 100's of 16mm films, most of them obscure titles that were considered to be LOST.

Some of them are the superhero films RUZGAR HAFIYE, BOMBALA OSKI BOMBALA, KAMCILI KADIN (KINOVA 3) or Cuneyt Arkin's LOST 60's actioner CEHENEMME BIR YOLCU.

Too bad the costs were so gigantic that I decided to buy ONLY the aforementioned 2 titles, RINGO GESTAPO'YA KARSI & that secret LOST KILINK film.

That guy demanded a fortune just to RENT his films.
Then, another fortune was needed for the cleaning of the films and the Telecine Transfer.
And of course, the relevant License money.
Oh, and another huge amount for my DEAREST Kunt Tulgar who travelled 3 times to Ankara, and then to Greece, for me!

First he went there to check on the films
Second, he went there again to get the films
Third and last, he went there to return the films.

BUT, that greedy collector had him sign an astronomical check (10 times higher than the rent fees!!!) so that in case he lost or damaged the films he would HAVE to sell his house to pay the madman!

And Tulgar gave the films to my EXCELLENT brother Ali Murat Guven who would take care of them and give them for the transfer to a good studio he knew.

Now, the days during the cleaning + telecine work were big hell for everyone involved!!

1- For Tulgar because Ali Murat was delaying and he was anxious to get the films back to Ankara as the mad guy was pressing him.

2- For Ali Murat because he had to deal with some problematic films and Tulgar was pushing him too.

3- For me because I heard all of them were acting like crazy over the films and because I HAD ALREADY SENT THEM THE MONEY and I had no idea what the result would look like.

Finally, I will just let you see some extracts from Ali Murat's emails that describe his adventure with those damn films:

{He bringed both films WITHOUT ANY REELS. Both films are naked, noo reel, millions of splices, and most important, both films are covered with an oily material. When you touch them, you feel a dirty thing on your hands.

I said to him first: "Your flims general condition are tragic. Specially, Ringo is terrible... Firstly before telecine, I will make a big re-animation operation on these films."

"He always says, I am in a hurry I must give the reels to the owner in Ankara within 2-3 days. Don't spend time with them. Make an express telecine and let's send them to Vassilis immediately."

I SAID MANY TIMES, "NO, I CAN'T. Because Vassilis is my friend and his money is my money. I can't send him a rubbish."

He never understands my feelings and fastitious appoach to you.

Despite his millions of calls and bla bla bla's,

1) I bought 3 pieces of quality 16 mm American reels and rolled the naked films on them.
2) I spliced both films' broken parts and repaired spockets at least 3-4 days again. I made at least 250 new splices.
3) I cleaned both films at least 3 times. Because the were covered with full vaseline (an oily thing. Some people shoe shines with it!)
4) Finally, I made the best telecine of Turkey for them. It is my best, because, both films, specially Ringo is a real rubbish.

I GIVE KILINK'S GENERAL CONDITION 7/10
This film starts with titles, all the titles are okey, generally good splices, you may understand the story, brillant black-white, a few vertical lines, and it finishes with the "end"...
It is acceptable condition. And I MADE IT BETTER after my surgery operation. The telecine service also tried to his best. Now, you may make an acceptable DVD with it. I am almsot happy for this title. There is only a sound problem (too much noisy recording) in the part 1, it takes nearly 10 minutes and turns to normal again.

BUT, I GIVE TO "RINGO" 4/10 TO RİNGO. BECAUSE IT WAS A REAL ZOMBI WHEN IT ARRIVED TO MY HANDS.

I cleaned it 3 times, I spliced its all broken parts. I also made my best in the teleciune service. The technician rolled it on the machine 5 times again a and again. But, that's all. It's general condition is like your first film "Kiling İstanbul'da.".

To make you happier, I resarched and bought 15 frames of lobby cards of this film from Turkish eBay.This collection can make the DVD richer as a "photo gallery".

In this peiod, THIS GUY ATE MY BRAIN, REALLY AET BY BRAIN.

I need time for repairing, cleaning, telecine, controls...

BUT HE CALLS ME EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR, EVERY HALF AN HOUR.

Today was our randesvous day.

Yesterday I said him "Leave me alone, I will call you when everything completed succesfully. I can't send a bad thing to Vassilis. I must be my best. And this effort needs more time."

Now, the final meeting...

Tonight, at 19.00 pm, we met each other in the high way at the Anatolian side of Istanbul.

I gave him:

1) His original 16 mm films. This time, CLEAN, ON THE QUALITY REELS WITH HEAD STRIPES and TOTALLY REPAIRED! THEIR EVERY FRAME!

2) YOUR 2 BROADCAST MASTER BETACAM SP TELECINE CASSETTES. One of them is KILINK. The other is Ringo.

3) Your 15 frames of Ringo loby cards. Also + 2 copeas of CD's (they includes the high quality scans of the photos)

After this delivery, I said him "NEVER MR. TULGAR, NEVER AGAIN... Let's be cinematic friends forever. But, not trade partners..."

So, I kept my promises one more time.

I SPENT 10 DAYS, minimum 500 USD (tarnsportation, in every step, I rented a car and a driver, 100 USD per visit to the town) FOR TYOUR EFFORTS.

I also bought for these poor films 3 reels, it was 150 USD total.

HE ASKED ME THAT "what do you want for your co-operation buddy?"

I said him "Nothing Mr. Tulgar, because Vassilis is my friend and I am a Turkish cinema lover. Sometimes, we help each other with him. This is not a trade for me."

The last warning about Betacam SP masters...

KILINK is quite good as I said before. It starts at 02'00 and runs approx 65 minutes without any problem. In 3 point, it shakes for a moment, but not important. These parts are broken sprockets's areas.

BUT RINGO... The technician was becoming crazy when transferring it. He stopped three times Betacam SP, because the film was going like water on the screen. No sprockets, no normal periodic rythm... 3 times, there are problem points on the betacam. We stopped on these points. We repaired the film. We revinded the dreel 1-2 minutes. And we recorded again.

You must edit these 3 points on your editing suit. There is no loose of footage, only a replay part. Cut the further parts and add the correct pictures on the editing suit. This is not a big problem for you.

Normally, if you stop the Betacam cassette, you must start from the first frame again. The technician was loosing his mind, I said him "never mind brother, let's repeat only last 30 seconds part on recording." And he did the same thing.

Because, TULGAR WAS CALLING in every 5 minutes in this period.

That's why, you CAN NOT SEND to DVD mastering process directly RINGO...

You must upload to editing suit's memory it first in highest quality (In fact, I don't know what is highest quality on a film like this!) and an asssistant must cut its 3 parts and add. Then you may process the result for DVD.

WE HAD NO OTHER WAY ON THE FIRM. Because, it is impossible to run this reel in one time.

Well, I am so tired ... }

Well, I think you got a picture of what kind of shit me and lots of nice folks went through to revive those films and present them to an UN-CARING audience.
I feel like a total idiot now and then..

FINALLY, YESTERDAY I TOOK THE 2 BETAS WITH KILINK AND RINGO TO MY STUDIO HERE AND I'M EXPECTING COPIES SO THAT I PERSONALLY CHECK THE RESULT.
WHATEVER IT IS, I WILL DEFINITELY APPLY A STRONG REMASTERING HERE SO THAT I GET THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULT.

MORE NEWS ABOUT THEM ANY DAY NOW...

ALTIN COCUK DVD COVER & DETAILS AVAILABLE

At last, if you check my site www.onarfilms.com you will be able to see what the cover of this DVD looks like plus the Extras.

My pride is the NEW trailers of my NEW acquistions!
BUT, you must buy the dvd IF you're curious.
However, don't expect to find out the title of my new KILINK find!
You'll see just a short trailer, without title.
I will announce title just a couple of months before I release it.

2 days ago I met with Kunt tulgar here and he brought me the betas of those 2 new acquisitions.
It was a hellish adventure to get this done as the only source was some buried 16mm prints in Ankara that had to be brought to Istanbul to undergo a major cleaning and then a telecine transfer to beta.

More about this adventure a bit later on...

Oh, I forgot!
Among the extras is an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW from the most cult bald villain ever!
ALTAN GUNBAY!
I ALWAYS wanted to get an exclusive one from him but he is one of the most evasive persons in Turkey!
But finally, thanks to Kunt Tulgar, I got it nicely done!!
In case you don't know him here's a link to help: http://www.sinematurk.com/kisi/1056/Altan-G%FCnbay

ONAR FUTURE

First of all, thank you for your moral support and compassion and condolences!

Let me comment on some of your ideas before I move on with my plans.

1- I would never release anything without having bought copyrights license. Perhaps I could get away with it but apart from it being too immoral/unethical for me it would not save me too much.
I mean, ok, I would save about 2,500$ which means I'd save 5$ per dvd copy, ok? And instead of 27-28$ I could therefore sell at 22-23$.
Well, I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD CHANGE ANYTHING AT ALL!
I recently cut all my retail prices down to 30-50% as you know.
Result? SALES GOT WORSE.
So, it's not really a matter of cheaper prices.

Maybe I should just keep that 2,500$ and not lower prices at all?
Yes, but that's still unethical and I just can't sleep peacefully knowing I'm illegal and next morning I could find myself in deep shit.

2- I could team up with some other label perhaps, ok?
And share costs and expenses. But still, what makes you believe there would be profits?
I want to share profits, not costs.
Destribution sucks not only for me but for all labels, right?
I don't know of any label flourishing and having profits.

Besides, I'm not so bad a person to want to drag people to MY hell.

3- Release other stuff, other countries?
Naaah! Italian films suck sales-wise.
Only porn and Holywood do well, but then I would never try these genres, would I?

FINALLY...
I got quite a few films lined up for future release.
Films I've already bought:

TARZAN KORKUSUZ ADAM
MASKELI UCLER
CASUS KIRAN 7 CANLI ADAM
ALTIN COCUK
ALTIN COCUK BEYRUT'TA
CICI CAN
RINGO GESTAPOYA KARSI
KILINK...??????

This means I'll be around for at least a couple of more years or more till I gradually and slowly release everything and sell everything.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE???????

As you see it's October already and I don't even have a cover for the ALTIN COCUK DVD.

There are bad reasons and good reasons for this delay.

Bad ones first:
I'M BROKE.
Why?
1- Lots of personal and family fuckups and unexpected expenses etc.

2- A certain Turkish producer wants more money from me because our contracts have expired.
I was fool enough to NOT mention this case in the contract and specify some amount for extension fees.
Now, that greedy and cunning guy is asking MORE cash than the initial costs of the films!
ALL other producers don't ask for extension fees but this one does.

He is right and I MUST give him some money but he determines the amount according to how much he needs not according to any law or contract etc.

I hate courts etc so I must bend down and prepare my ass for a deep Ottoman fuck!
Even if I knew he couldn't hurt me legally he WILL hurt me in many other ways, like slandering my name, closing all doors for business in Turkey etc.

Either way, heads or tails, I LOSE.
In both cases this is the end of ONAR.

I can't go on doing business like this, having no profit at all and giving a hell of cash to some producer. I got some pride too.
But even if I swallow it, and want to continue like a damn fool, that guy will SURE ruin all future business so... NO MORE TURKISH FILMS FOR ME.

GOOD NEWS NOW:

I'm broke and will be broker since I managed to unearth some totally lost films!

It's a long story but here's the juice of it:

-I discovered a collector of 16mm films.
-Most of them were considered lost.
-He is a superduper GREEDY guy though.
-He demands a FORTUNE just to rent his prints for a few days.
- Another fortune must be spent on the film cleaning and telecine transfer to beta.
- Plus, copyright fees of course.

Too bad I'm broke and couldn't get more than 2 films now.
Too bad these 2 will most probably be the last films I buy from Turkey.
Too bad I had to leave back LOST superhero stuff like RUZGAR HAFIYE, BOMBALA OSKI BOMBALA, KINNOVA 3 KAMCILI KADIN etc etc!!

So, what did I get?
1- RINGO GESTAPOYA KARSI
2- KILINK....???? Surprise surprise!!!

I prefer to keep some mystery here.
As soon as I get the films transfered and paid for I'll make a teaser of them.
As for that KILINK film, you'll see a teaser but NOT the title!
Title will be announced ONLY when the release is scheduled.
Which means when?
...which means when I release some OTHER stuff first and get some money.

So, the worst senario here is that I release whatever films I have already bought and then...bye bye Turkey!

Oh, as for ALTIN COCUK dvd, I'll try to put it out just around Christmas.

BACK FROM SUMMER HOLIDAYS...SIGH!!

Hi to all!

I hope you had a great summer break.

Mine was almost perfect I can say.

All the sadder I feel now that I'm back.

Back to regular job... which sucks, and back to regular dvd-vhs business which seems to go from worst to ultra-duper-worst!

Einstein had said: TWO THINGS ARE INFINITE, THE UNIVERSE AND HUMAN STUPIDITY AND I'M NOT REALLY CERTAIN ABOUT THE FORMER.

Bill says:
THREE THINGS ARE INFINITE, THE UNIVERSE, HUMAN STUPIDITY AND ONAR'S DOWNFALL, AND I'M NOT CERTAIN ABOUT THE FIRST TWO.

As for ALTIN COCUK dvd release, I'll do my best to get it out late October, fingers crossed.

When will ALTIN COCUK dvd be out?

Some gentlemen are wondering when this one will be released.

Well... so am I.

I earlier said that as soon as I raise enough money.

But if I wait till I get just my COSTS back from the latest dvd it's gonna be a looooong wait.

Speaking in numbers, I must sell about 350 copies of the last dvd just to get my costs back.
After that I'll be having a profit too.
But at THIS rate it would take me about 12 months.
Now, given that this rate won't be steady all the time and week after week sales will be dropping, I must make it about 3 years.

Thank God I'm also selling a few copies of my older releases in the meantime, plus those blessed old videos on ebay!
Therefore, my current plan is to get it released in October.

NEW aquisitions!

After about a year of negotiations and misunderstandings and suspense I managed to secure (meaning I already paid for) license for these 3:

ALTIN COCUK (THE GOLDEN BOY)
ALTIN COCUK BEYRUT'TA (THE GOLDEN BOY IN BEYRUT)
CICI CAN

The first one is the Turkish 007 version from 1966.
The second one is its sequel featuring a superhero-looking villain with mask, cape etc.
The third one is a 1963 weird bizarre spooky TWILIGHT ZONE-looking gem.

The prints are in very good condition by the way!

You can check trailers for the first and third on my dvd's and youtube.

The ALTIN COCUK character appeared in 2 more films that I would buy ONLY if the first 2 sold well and fast.

I really believe these 007 ripoffs are something unique and ground-breaking and don't tell me you're used to watching such films.
In fact these are another experiment for me.
I've released Superhero stuff, Vigilante stuff, Horror stuff, Historical stuff, Western stuff.... but NEVER SPY James Bond-ish stuff!

Those 3 have something in common:
The actor and producer Goksel Arsoy.
And of course, I've already ordered a special interview with him due to be given in a few days.

I'd love to hear your opinions...

KADIN DUSMANI reviews

I thought it would be a good idea and it would help undecided buyers to check current reviews for this DVD.

I guess it doesn't help if I just say "Hey! this is a great dvd! Buy it NOW!", right?

So, check these reviews for the moment:

I'll be updating as they come in.

KADIN DUSMANI DVD available as of today

Right, today, May 27, I got it from the factory and I'm waiting for 498 (2 copies were damaged and thrown away) buyers.

I hope I'll live long enough to see this release sold out.

KADIN DUSMANI in the Factory

Yesterday, I took the master to the factory, at long last.

I encountered a problem with the sound and it took me a few extra days plus a few 100's of Euros to get it fixed.
There was a horrible hissing buzz throughout and it wouldn't go away no matter what.
I had to take it to a special sound studio and eventually the sound became hiss-free, clear, strong and as good as it gets!

The picture quality is better than I expected. Well, it's actually one of my CLEAREST releases!
And now that I watched it with subtitles I loved it even more.
It's a genuine, original, sick, unpredictable gloomy giallo... from 1967, in Turkey!

Now, the dvd will be in my hands for sale by the end of next week.

As for the price?
Remember that my 500 copy titles were 23.50 euro in retail, ok?
But, as promised earlier, now that I've run out of wholesales, I will share my lost wholesale prices with you.
So, as of now, all my future releases will be sold for 17.50 euro, ONLY!

Ok, one of these days I'll let you know about my new acquisitions and the title coming after Kadin Dusmani.
As for "when" is the next one, it ALL depends on "when" I get back enough money to be able to pay for it...

KADIN DUSMANI and OTHER NEWS...

Here I am again, still breathing.

For those who care about what's going on with KADIN DUSMANI DVD, a few minutes ago I received the subs and I'll shortly start working on them.

Well, lately I've been -and still am- facing various problems with my personal life... lots of shit etc.

A big problem is the cash.
My current super-discounts don't seem to do the trick and I can't say I'm ready to pay for the dvd costs right now.
See, I'm one of those guys who hate owing money to anybody.
I always work in hand-to-hand terms. One hand gives the cash, the other hand gets the stuff.

But since I also hate fooling around I'll save on bread and milk and I'll just go on and release this damn thing in about 3 weeks.

This time, I'm in the unpleasant position of declaring that there's no retail sources you could buy this one from.
Right, I'm out of wholesales.
And I don't give a damn if a couple of small stores buy 2-3 copies from me just to demonstrate they got cool stuff for sale.

At least you can now buy them much cheaper than before since I'm going to combine the old wholesale prices with my retail ones resulting in really attractive prices!

Too bad though, as I'm going to have to wait for a loooooong time before I get back enough cash to release my next dvd.

...Speaking of which, what's it going to be?

I'm not really sure...
I was planning to seal the deal for the ALTIN COCUK films and CICI CAN and release the first ALTIN COCUK film next...
BUT, Yilmaz Atadeniz is back again, asking for more money since I was dumb enough to sign licenses for 18 months ONLY instead of 5 years like ALL companies do!!

This case is a big pain in the ass and I must either throw tons of dvd's in the toilet and never release other films at all, OR pay Atadeniz LOTS of cash!

This situation has caused me so much trouble and grief that I've lost my appetite for the whole Turkish Films story.

I may as well start selling greek cheese-pie in my neighbourhood or something...

CRAZY DISCOUNTS (KICKING RECESSION'S ASS)

Everybody is talking about financial crisis, recession etc etc and they're lamenting that business is going to hell and sales are 80% off and they're going to close down and other crap!

Why crap?
Because those who complain are not doing the slightest thing to make things straight.
Why??
Because: 1) THEY ARE BRAINLESS
2) THEY ARE LIARS.

For months now I've been trying to go on some trips here in Greece for the weekend and I tried to book a room at some remote villages.
Result?
I always try 2 months prior to going and they ALL tell me they're FULL!
And when I find something the prices are 20-30% higher than last year!
And when I go there I CAN see all hotels and pensions are FULL indeed!

Now, I'm trying to travel to some european capital, next month.
Same shit.

The travel agencies here are telling me that prices are indeed MUCH HIGHER than last year and that ALL hotels get full!

Same with houses here.
They're saying they remain unsold but prices are HIGHER than last year!

Same in the supermarkets.
They say they're getting fewer and fewer customers BUT their prices are 20-50% higher than last year!
Besides, I can see that ALL supermarkets are JAMMED with customers!

Same with restaurants, same with electronics stores etc etc...

SO, WHO THE HELL ARE THEY FOOLING????

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, as far as I am concerned...

Yes, my sales have managed to drop even lower than before.

So, what could I do besides lamenting for my bad karma and my miserable fate?

HOW ABOUT SOME SALES?

So, if you check my site www.onarfilms.com now you will see what I mean.

PLUS, unlike some previous time when I didn't mention normal prices, now I'm mentioning the old prices so that you actually see that my discounts reach up to 50%.

Ok, but "HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?"

I'm not really sure for the moment.
Maybe till the bad times are over?

Or till I raise enough cash to release the next dvd KADIN DUSMANI?

For the moment, I MUST help myself by helping people with REALLY CHEAP prices.

KADIN DUSMANI DVD NEWS

A few months ago I was optimistic enough to believe that this DVD would be out "early 2009".

Well, unlike older releases, no accidents have happened to any of the people involved in this (YET).

So, what's the idea?

The idea is best described as "no money no honey".

In particular, sales are going to hell in general.
ALL my wholesale customers have dumped me and my retail ones seem to be broke for ever.

So, it's all a matter of money and nothing else.
I'm just trying to raise the funds to pay all the relevant bills as I hate owing people money.
I could just go ahead and release it and keep people waiting to get their money till I get enough money but this is NOT my style.
I raise cash FIRST and THEN I proceed with the production.

This goddamn recession has affected dvd buyers too, obviously.

So, according to my current estimations, it should be out middle April the earliest or middle May the latest.

HAPPY NEW YEAR...

With good HEALTH and PEACE...
oh... monologue: {and some better sales wouldn't hurt either..}

Speaking of sales, those December sales are over and now the prices are back to normal again.
