My take on it is, GJ, in league with JCW, (as they pretty much share civie moulds) got together to put WW out of business so they can then buy the moulds themselves, probably with the help of the factory as well as these moulds / machinery usually disappear from diecast manufacture, more likely repurposed for other more profitable manufacturing processes
What does his mean to collectors ? Me personally, I will do my best not to buy much from the JCW/GJ thugs.

same, it was fun while it lasted....I mean worse is done by "better people" everyday then buying unlicensed product. I know herpa already makes several of the crafts they bought so id assume the licensing is moot but the fact that CW's similiar sized craft has gone up by $70 kind of foolish for herpa to try not to get that money. 110 to 120 makes sense really as much as we dont like it.
