How many threads do we have here, asking whether Conte is still in business? Has anyone ever counted them to see?

Prost!

Well, I was being facetious, but along the lines of Brad's (jazzeum's) post, it is a perennial question. So it's amusing when someone asks yet again whether he's still in business, when any new releases might be, etc.

Prost!

When someone has been out of business for many years, it is not always easy to get back into business again, especially as ways of doing business and customers’ tastes have changed. Perhaps the possible excitement at their coming back is more nostalgia than anything else.

In the movies people are never quite the same when brought back from the dead.

If Conte comes back and creates excitement in the hobby, comes out with product that collectors want in a timely and consistent fashion, it's all good for the overall health of the hobby.

I've said it before, but he created that WOW factor when he burst on the scene in the late 1990's, he was innovative and made a lot of collectors happy, so he'll always have my respect for that and for what he did for the hobby.

I wish him all the best.
