Hey P51, where do you live?
I use to live in San Juan Capistrano, but now live in La Palma.
I miss the EL TORO AIR BASE show. One of the best. Now that place just sits there rotting away.

Well, it looks like they will be suspended from the ceiling of the man cave ready to take over my own little St. Mere Igles. I wish they had stuck with the original plan because there was more playability. But, I am happy this way too. It saves me from having to make my own chutes for my squad of Rupperts----and that wouldn't be pretty.

If the Avenger is not going to sell through Wal-Mart, then let's hope it does good through the other outlets it is sold at. If it does well it may open the door for 21st to produce aircraft that won't fit in that standard box or price range. It could lead to better things.

When compared with DiD's co-sponsorship of WoH, 21C's presence sucked big time. Here's what DiD set up:
1. About 6 quality dioramas
displaying their 1/6 lines.
2. Plenty of new releases in great supply & competatively priced all over the show.
4. 2 different WoH exclusive sets plus the Modler's loft exclusive 42nd Highlander.
5. Quality display racks & cases.
21C, OTH, set up old stuff out without even bothering to put table cloths down. The airplane posters were great & I'm glad to have them really. But, the folks at DiD really sent the message that they were serious about the 1/6 market & they wanted our business. 21C & Badcat kinda ho-hummed it. I expected 21C to try to do something splashy & Badcat to bring plenty of their popular XD exclusives &put on some decent sales. BC came across as a start up mom & pop shop that couldn't afford to sell their preciously small stock at a sale price.
