My take on the issue is with the famine on reloading components many are turning to bullet casting and mold makers are to busy with their standards products to produce "one off" group buys. Supply and demand kind of things.

Thank you Hatch for more clarification. I understand the supply and demand of molds and their associated materials being scarce. I was more concerned with the original thinking of the members of this board and the several designs that have become available because of them. I also agree that two years for a mold is way too long, especially when the maker has the ability to instantly sell 50 or more molds at once. Not to mention the positive press they might receive if the product works and is of good quality.
It sure was a good run though. I wasn't here in the Lee Days but I remember when Al and Miha showed up. I was in on the first runs of the NOE 429421 and MP #503. I got lots of great molds! Some may never run again as they get lost among the more popular molds.
