Another Premature Press Release From MTH
Well, it looks like MTH did it again….
Lionel Corporation Website Debuts
January 6, 2009 - M.T.H. is pleased to unveil its dedicated website to
our latest product line, The Lionel Corporation. The site will include
feature videos on Lionel Corporation products along with the latest
news from this exciting new member of the M.T.H. product line.
No links in the press release and none of the domain names I posted about yesterday are pointing to the site yet. To view the original press release click here. Anyone want to guess who's administering the MTH site? I hope they're not paying them much.
UPDATE 1/7/09: A video link was added to the press release but it links to a generic landing page. Thanks for the tip Lou.
UPDATE 1/5/09 8:58pm: Joshua over at the Pre War Times blog caught this too.

Dave,
If these guys would ever wise up and hire you - this stuff wouldn’t happen!
But then, who would break the news???

Umm… actually, that’s Joshua, Dave.
Congrats on being the first to initially bust this story wide open, btw. Quite a scoop!

They added a Taylor’s video link to introduce the new website. And again, link not working as of yet.

It does look like they are going with the “thelionelcorporation.com”

Sorry about that Joshua. I made the correction.

Thanks for the tip Lou. MTH will eventually figure this out.
