Tanker85 present and accounted for. I have been lurking mostly in the background but I wanted to say I have been here since around 2003. I have really enjoyed being a part of this forum and hope it will long continue.

Re: Everything's has to go

Where are you located? Someone on the board may be close enough to come look at your collection. Sorry to hear you are getting out of 1/18th collecting, but it sounds as though it may be a windfall for someone else to get things they may not have.

Also of historical significance, my uncle Bill flew one of these jets in the early sixties. ...

Hi Coryeagle48

Re: New Bravo Team Modern 1:18 Figures (sort of)

Yesterday I went to my local Target in Joplin Mo and to my complete dismay there was nothing related to Bravo figures in either 1/18 or 1/32.
