Re: FOV March 2013 Releases!!

I am going broke with all 1/32 repaints. There must be close to a dozen in the past year. I don't think they have ever done this many in the same year.

Re: 1/18th Sale at Bad Cat

Some of the prices are reasonable. I was the 4th out of 6 to order the Cripes before they could take it down. All of the 119 prices are pretty good and 149 for Cripes was the best I have seen in years. Some of the prices are standard for Ebay and a few appear to be higher. Unless by some miracle a n...

Re: ALL-GO production status

Until proven otherwise I believe that the two models released were left over old stock. They do not even have the capability of producing a different box. I hope this is not the case, but without any new products or repaints how can you believe them. They have been making promises for nearly three y...

Re: All-Go announces 1/32 aircraft releases updated new pics

I own over 95% of everything in 1/32 amd 1/18 plus a fair amount of 1/6 that 21st century ever made. That is customer loyalty to the extreme. When a company does such a poor job of marketing that it sours a customer like me it is in serious trouble. AllGo is just another name for what is left of the...

Re: All-Go announces 1/32 aircraft releases updated new pics

The burden of proof is now up to AllGo. I have to assume this old stock and old boxes. At the higher price these planes are probably still worth the purchase price. The problem is that AllGo have not proven that they can deliver a newly produced item even if that item was identical to a previous rel...

Re: All-Go announces 1/32 aircraft releases updated new pics

My fear is that these planes are old production. Left over aircraft and left over boxes. Terrible marketing decision to use the old box. The original production run on these planes was 5000 each. These two were a little hard to find so that it is very possible they had a 1000 or more of each left. A...

Re: AllGo is all go!

Well it is now Saturday so it appears nothing shipped this week. AllGo remains ALLNO until they actually produce a product. Until then they have zero credibility. They cannot deliver a duplicate of a three year old product on time and people are expecting something new! Very sad, but unfortunately v...

Re: Foxhole: 21st Century "Gray" 88mm -$79.99

It would be nice if All Go used some of their resources to actually produce a product. They have been around almost two years and nothing, but promises.

Re: Algo Enterprises

I agree before getting too excited will they be able to deliver a real item. JSI is really the only company in 1/18 that actually is producing some products. Forgive me if I am skeptical, but too many failed promises. 21st during their last few years, Admiral and now Algo or All Go. The two 1/32 rel...

Re: Are these FOV Customs on E-bay?

The gun barrels are both pointed at funny angles when compared to other FOV mint in the box jagdpanthers and king tigers. This suggests that they may have been removed to be repainted. They may be early release action grade vehicles. I recently purchased an action grade Tiger I with a blue identific...

Re: Are these FOV Customs on E-bay?

I have almost all 1/32 FOV models, but I am not familar with either of these two vehicles. They may be customs, but I am not sure. The pictures are not big enough or clear enough to be certain.

Re: 2 Spitfires

On ebay you almost always get a better price for an auction versus buy it now. This was an exception especially with free shipping. I think this a collector getting out of the hobby. His prices are low enough to guarantee a sale. Most buy it now prices are inflated by 25% to 50% or more.

2 Spitfires

I normally am a lurker and not a poster, but I do check this forum daily. I think I picked up two bargain Spitfires a DWK for $130 and a ZPA for $160 both Buy Now and free shipping on ebay. I have seen both of these planes go for more than $300 and have lost multiple auctions stopping at about $250....

I just got one of these today from ebay. It is in a red motorworks box with a blue canopy. The worst problem is bent machine guns because of low clearance with the top of the box. A common problem with this aircraft.

The NNK Spitfires and the RAF P-40 were common all over central Illinois when they came out. I only bought one of each, but could have got them on sale for $20. I really wanted the Flying Tiger P-40. I must have went to 20 different stores in six months before it finally appeared in my own home town...

I am the one that picked up that Spitfire. I almost had it for $177, but there was a last second bid of $203. Last week I bid a maximum of $259 on a MIB Spit and lost out. Earlier this week a out of box D-Day Spit went for about 160. I actually saved a little money by not winning last week. I do not...

Double Nuthin

I just picked up a second Double Nuthin P-51 at Wal-mart last night. Maybe they will start showing up all over soon. At this Wal-mart they put only a single plane on the shelf at a time. I am going to check this store again tonight. If I have any success I will be happy to share.
