All quiet on the Roden Front...
None of their "In Processing .... " has dates.

Rumor would have it that PM in Turkey have bought them out.

I sure hope that's rumor only. But with the lack of movement on their part, you never know.

How exceedingly cruel...

As a connoisseur of pranks in general, and April Fool's Day in particular, all I can say is bravo!

I almost E-Mailed Roden asking them about this.

Almost???.......... before I'd realised it was a prank, I'd contacted my mafia mates who'd organised a raid on the Ukraine to rescue the moulds. News of this led to chaos on the Turkish stock exchange, a run on the pound and the collapse of the western monetary system.My pension has now been reduced to 17p per month.

All I did was look at my stack of "original" Ukraine Rodens and rub my hands together in avarice! Now they are worth just what they should be to me...Priceless!


Thanks for the gag,
John
