I have just read in the AIRBRUSH magazine that Iwata have acquired Harder & Steenbeck, does this mean now Iwata controls the top end of the airbrush market the prices will go up?
I think I might get some spares in for my infinity airbrush before they hike up the prices

I hope not otherwise I might end up going back to Azteks.splash wrote:I have just read in the AIRBRUSH magazine that Iwata have acquired Harder & Steenbeck, does this mean now Iwata controls the top end of the airbrush market the prices will go up?

I think Iwata might understand that if they become a rich mans game, it might severely impact the bottom line. They are not the only game in town, however, I wouldn't be surprised if they inched prices up slightly.

The good news might be the combination of the two design teams might come up with the perfect product.

Ayup All...
I’m a dedicated Badger man so not bothered. However if Iwata hike prices I do feel sorry for you all.

I hope this doesn't compromise the quality of the Harder & Steenbeck products with any cost cutting or rationalisation, that'd be a shame.

I'm a big H&S fan so hope their line continues as before.
