I emailed Lee Valley about 6 months ago cause I was looking at buying a good
quality bullnose plane and I new they were in the process of designing a lot
new planes. Got a quick responce but! didn't get a difinitive response on a
release date for a bull nose so I went out and bought a stanley 90 (only
because that was all that was available). Now you release the new bull
nose plane and I have to have one of them. Don't get me wrong the 90 is a
good plane, but next to the LV bull nose - there is no comparison. Is there
any sort of trade in deal for one of those new bull nose planes. I'd have
to say they look like the best bull nose plane on the market. Anyone want
to buy a slightly used stanley 90...

The word 'plastic' crossed my mind, but I swear I kicked myself in pennance.
