21st's 88 FlaK Gun Has a Ship Date
<img src="http://www.themotorpool.net/v/vspfiles/ ... 61S1-1.jpg" align="left"> <b>21st Century Toys' King of the Battlefield Adjusts its Range</b><br>
Quiet for several months, <b>21st Century Toys</b> has finally lifted the veil of secrecy shrouding their upcoming 1:18 scale FlaK gun. Painted in DAK yellow, the long awaited '88' has, according to the manufacturer, been given a ship date of November, although its not clear which half of the month it'll make landfall. Happily, we're still able to offer this wonderful gun at a pre-order price of just $89.99, $99.99 if you wait until it digs in and gets prepped for its first volley. This is one of those pieces everyone has been asking about for a very long time and is finally seeing the light of day ...<i>[posted 10/24/2008]</i><p>

Just to add to lightning2000's post, the availability is around "November 10th". Foxhole Toys has confirmed with 21st C. that they will begin shipping out from their warehouses on the 3rd of the month.
Don't look for these babies at Mass markets. lightning is also correct in the Preorder pricing. Retailers get a 'preorder' break at this time which we can then pass on to our customers. After they become available as 'in stock' at the manufacturer's warehouse the prices will go up!
This puppy wiil be AWESOME!!!
Cheers all!

* This puts the collector in a real state of decision. ... Should I buy two in fear of the economy and 21st's unpredictability w/ new products now.
........ but if this thing sells out , which I believe it will , they'll do an (S-2) version in dark panzer grey.
* Lets hope it does for 21st.Century's sake.

Grab 'em while you still can, says I!
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

Re: [+] The Long awaited 88
You need to call him. He does not keep up with his site. Call leave a message. I'll put it to you he is the CHEAPEST in the NATION . That is unless they do go to TRU. He sells the stuff cheaper to forum members. He has been doing this for awhile. He may not get it as soon as the other bigger players . He usualy gets them a week behind . But to save money, what is a week or so ?MG-42 wrote:>>> Where do you see that @ ? ... It's not on his site.pickelhaube wrote:Aviator Nut is taking orders.

I GET ALL OF MY XD FROM HIM . BUT I DO BUY IT BULK. I have gotten 16 P-40's from him along with other newer XD.
BTW, I'd placed my preorder with
BadCat prior to discovering MTS's offer. I'm staying with that since they've been real good and I'd committed to that preorder. Sticking MTS to free shipping to here would be a big minus to them and they've also been real good. I'm just real content that this thing will see the light of day. With the '88 and my preorder for the 'Benz G4 that was announced here earlier, I'm now officially out of ground space. Sigh.

OK, while I am practically broke (I usually always am) I think I'll also have to get this despite the horribly steep price. I can always ebay it if they make a gray one - assuming 21c even survives long enough to do that. I've got no shortage of DAK figures to make a proper crew. While I am a huge supporter of Badcat, the fact that I would have to pay shipping plus Ca sales tax makes the free shipping and no tax from MTS seem a bit more enticing. There goes another $90
