Pleas only your if you are thinking about getting one.

If you are thinking about getting the JSI J-11

Will you pre order, Or wait for an evaluation from a fellow board member.

If no state your reason, and what would make you change your mind to placing a pre order.

I voted no cause I wanted to wait and see if JSI has addressed its quality control issues.

I do want one, but I don't want to be stuck with a lemon with no recourse, and left hanging.

No way in h e-double hockey sticks will I pre-pay again after Spotgate

Yes, I'm interested in the Sukhoi, when it gets a single seat and Russian markings.

I"ll admit, I'm a 1:18 scale junkie, so I'll preorder one and hope TKO will offer his taleneted services again if it is needed

Second.
Russian fighter without a legitimate Russian scheme? Unthinkable.

No way in hades. I'll wait to get a review first.

I will by one, but not pre-order. My pre-order cost me $50 more than if I would have waited. It is not that important for me to get it that fast.

Since it would be a new release...I voted yes. I will preorder one to support the cause.
*Other members are correct though, usually it's cheaper to wait ie...F-14
although I did get one of the Limited Edition Lights On Spotcats.

I don't usually pre order, but I will likely buy one if it looks good. I would like an Su 27.

Yes indeed! Can't wait for this one.

I'm nervous... I think I would need an accurate review of the moving parts and their ability to hold up first. Paint- well I really don't care if it's pink or spotted or whatever. I going to paint a classic Russian scheme on mine! Good bye J-11! Hello SU-27

I'll get one. Really looking forward to it.

Sure, JSI cranked up on that F-14 paint job, but hey, we all make mistakes. It doesn't bother me that much.

I only hope for sturdier landing gear.

After the F-14 fiasco,I will not pre-order the JS-11,or the F-15.

I will wait for proper reviews from non biased collectors.

I am also not willing to get a repaint done on a model that costs this much.

If JSI has not learned from the Tomcat,we may be in for more disappointment.

I sincerely hope not,as I really want both of these models.

That's the other thing - you don't save with a pre-order! The planes don't sell out right away, so there is no advantage to pre-ordering.

bottom line Aferg in another post said his F-18 nose dived and bounced a few times making the fall - and the F-14 would most likely shatter.
As much as I want a F-14 Ill wait for prices to go down at WM.

Just too much money for me to justify getting a really cool toy/model that I want.

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 8:16 am

Good point about this pre-order business. I can remember reading many of the online retailers saying how you had better get the JSI F-14 before they sell out. Now those are still out there, and will be for some time.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 9:48 am

I'll wait for my local hobbyshop to get them. It worked out well with the F-14 - I got a very nice example of one of those that still hasn't broken on me

I likely will buy it when, and if, it is produced, but no preorder...I haven't preordered Passion Wagon either, but I intend to get that one as well...
In today's market, speaking as a consumer, I don't believe it is neccesary to preorder one of these planes (exception would be ultra limited edition like the lighted Spotcat)...However, I understand why the etailers want your committment to help with their ordering, but the "Spotcat" pretty well took care of that issue!
In my opinion, put out a quality product of a desirable aircraft with the right paint scheme at a reasonable price (what the market will support) and it will sell itself.

NightVyper · Post by **NightVyper** » Fri May 07, 2010 7:36 pm

no i will not pre order because you end up paying more but i plan on getting at least one and if it nice a second. same with the f-15 i just know if i don't i will regret it.
