Sounds pretty dire from the article. It seems this auction coming up is expecting to only raise a tiny fraction of the debt they owe. More like a fire sale/going out of business deal. Some have mentioned the Revell/Monogram molds are likely to survive. I would say that is likely, but I doubt any current European or Asian kit manufacturer would be that interested in picking up a back catalog of items that are frankly, mostly quite elderly. I think the best we can hope for is that someone like Round2 Models acquires as much of it as they can. I don't know if they have that kind of money to burn, but hopefully someone that can run a similar business models does - respect for nostalgia, and some reasonable improvements to the kits when reissued, like new decals, etc.
