Is Polar Lights Going Though Tough Times?

Not screw-ups, corporate raiders. They buy companies to get one part or line and trash the rest. In Playing Mantis' case, RC bought it all to get the Johnny Lightning line (IMHO). They are trashing Polar Lights.

Since RC/Ertl bought them out awhile back they kind of killed off the division. Anything coming out new probably won't be in PL boxings. It's amazing what screw-ups these RC people are. JMHO.

Polar Lights, along with Johnny Lightning Diecasts, were bought up with Playing Mantis, their manufacturer, in June 2004 by RC2 Brands, and was positioned in with AMT/Ertl model kits--no word, but it appears that AMT/Ertl has little interest in reissuing the old PL tools, or adding any new ones.
