Small Scale Military Headquarters

Sorry SDCC I dont have any 1/18 left just alot of 1/72. Goodluck though. Thanks. If you happen to see a the new Freedom F-16s or camo F/A-18s offered at a more affordable price online (versus the BMF) let me know. Maybe we can arrange a purchase / trade. For instance. If the new camo F/A-18s or Fre...

I need to know, 1. Will the pieces detach easily? Or are the pieces, like the tail fins, too breakable? I'd like to know because space might be an issue and I want to see if I can put it all back in its box. 2. Due to the many qc issues what do you guys do to take care of this notorious piece? 3. Un...

What other 1:18 ac you have to trade?
That's goes for the rest of you who don't have the P-38.
Just post what you do have and I'll consider it.

As the title says. UPDATE: If you happen to see a the new Freedom F-16s or camo F/A-18s offered at a more affordable price online (versus the BMF) let me know. We can arrange a purchase / trade. Example. If the new camo F/A-18s or Freedom F-16s go on sale at Aiken's for $139 (and the cheapest BMF is...

Al-go announced today that they are going to partner with a "unnamed for now" major toy manufacturer to produce 1/18 AC's and vehicles You might actually have an idea worth considering given Hasbro has partnered with smaller toy companies in the past to make military AC. Below is a Maisto toy with ...

If only they had some archived raw footage of some of us going from town to town looking for all those cool planes at Walmart. Whooda thunk they'd become so valuable? 10 guys outside Target waiting, racing to the toy isles to find that one Hot Wheels, or the short packed Star Wars figure. Thats toy...

Toy Hunters commanded half-a-million viewers despite a pilot episode premiering on a tough time slot; graveyard shift / late Sunday night. The great success of its pilot convinced Travel Channel to green-light Toy Hunters as a full on cable tv series! The 1:18 hobby can use more exposure + customer...

are you sure that's the toy and not just some display item? If it is the toy it would be rather huge (over 7 foot span) and if limited edition will probably cost a few thousand dollars. I was taken aback in disbelief too. Yet seeing the larger 7 ft wing versus the smaller roughly 6 foot adult nearb...

Nose art from the central, detaching, passenger spaceplane

I'm really really really liking the classic style, nose art.

Something for space fans. UK Toy Fair unveiled a limited edition toy = Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo. CEO Richard Bronson of Virgin, a confessed sci-fi fan of the "Star Wars generation," is making the spaceplane a reality. SpaceShipTwo stands to become the first "spaceline" to bring paying passenge...

What would the prequel be? Movie's lead role, officer A.J. Bullard (Terrence Howard) may be a homage to E.J. Bullard of the WW1 Layfeyette Escadrille's lone black pilot. Coinciding the Red Tails prequel to the 100th anniversary of WW1, will most definitely work well, in 2 to 6 years (the 4-year-spa...

Looks like the movie is moving along.Likely reaching $40 million by this weekend. That is near the $58 million production cost. There's still more costs involved to compensate. So keep spreading the word, for everyone to check it out, so we can see many more movies (of and beyond Red Tails) in the f...

We get asked ALL THE TIME "Where can you buy those?" We have to tell them how hard they can be to find now. Great display. And, great opportunity to plug-in the news of the new Dauntless to those many asking where to buy 1:18! We need all the fellow customers we can get into this hobby! Your fine d...

We had a sneak preview for the SBD-3 at the Brewer's Brother Model Kits Expo held at Yank's Air Museum on Saturday. The display drew a lot of attention from the show attendees. If you can bring that display to the Burbank G.I.Joe Show, this March, it would be another great place to bring more atten...

what are some reasons for many of you liking the originally planned 1st paint scheme versus the 2nd (coral) paint scheme?

if you want more WW2 movies to start popping up, this movie needs to do well. it could spawn more movies about WW2. I believe there's a lot riding on this film. If it reaches $20 or $30 million opening weekend Lucasfilm said there WILL be a SEQUEL and a PREQUEL! That said, regardless of the flaws (...

I terribly neglected to mention my idea of 1 exclusive item at retail should definitlely coincide with the retail release of the latter mass-marketing of the Blu-ray / DVD retail release. Take into account the millions who already watched it many months in theaters (and more with Netflix + iTunes + ...

Yeah. Looks like we're going to have to see if the film is a success. Not even Star Wars toys appeared the same year of its own film year's release. I'm hoping its successful enough to get maybe just 1 plane (store x-mas exclusive) in retail. Retailers like big box exclusives + expanding the toy ais...

Nothing said (regarding product) just less than 1 month away from movie debut. Hopefully this does big numbers. So by the time the Blu-ray comes next Christmas; maybe a store will do an exclusive for their Christmas toy aisles. Walmart, Target, Toys R US, Kohls, or even Best Buy all do exclusives wi...

Here's a great site showing NASA aircraft below. Feel free to post pics (from that site) of what aircraft you'd like to see in 1:18 scale. The only ground rule is, it must somehow be aircraft related to space and/or NASA, like this NASA F-15 below. Again, Dragon's new Space line maybe a great altern...

Yeah, when are these coming out?

Six Million Dollar Man. :D I would be up for some X planes in 1/18, particularly the X-15. 8) Ha! Good find! There is a market for nostagic models from retro tv shows + movies. So maybe DM can re-package this possible 1:18 spacecraft in a retro Six Million Dollar Man kit package, too! Pegasus Hobbi...

That was a lot of decades + billions invested. Hopefully from that something was discovered that will benefit this new commercial Space Race happening as we speak. Maybe a little glitch was long solved that will prevent disasters. Of whose importance may increase as commercial trips bring more + mor...
