Been gone for a while. Cant believe the changes.

Post by airforcecop67 » Sun Aug 16, 2009 11:05 am

I've been out of the hobby for a while, spent the last few years fighting the Air Force, the VA, and now Social Security, but I have finally prevailed and finally opened the box my planes, vehicles and figs are in. I cannot wait to get some new things. Geez, is 21C stuff still available other than Evil Bay? Can someone give me a quick rundown on the who, what, where, and when of the hobby? Thanks.

Im really glad to see this place is still here, and still looking very active.

...what's 1/18th? :wink:

Basically (very basically) the situation is:

21st = KIA
Admiral Toys = MIA (some cool new releases but refer to the "other" forum for semi accurate Admiral news)
BBI = Holding steady (no new news)
JSI = Somewhat picking up where 21st left off. Check out JSI's website for rereleases and 3 new modern jets)
