Less likelyhood of Lidl scope offers this year?

Given the current state of markets and the financial muddle that Meade is in, I wonder whether there will be any Lidl scopes this year? I don't need a new astronomy scope but I might be tempted if the right bargain came along.

Given the popularity of this annual event i.e. telescopes close to Christmas, I expect they might find another supplier, Anyway maybe they there might be something a little different:) Although it would be a shame if this annual treat stops, - as anyone I meet who expresses an interest in astronomy, I advise to wait till this time of the year to check out what is without question good value for money.

Going for another Skylux John?

Given the very serious financial problems at Meade (many are predicting bankruptcy), I would not be surprised to see even more goodies from Meade since it is a great way for them to unload lots of inventory for immediate cash.

I am not suggesting we will be seeing their 14" "Advanced Ritchey Chretien" at LIDL but an 8" SCT, for example, would be nice. The problem is how do they push such an offer without a mount.

Anyway, you guys get such offers from LIDL first and we usually follow two weeks later. Please remember to post when concrete information first becomes available!
