Long Awaited News from AllGo Toys

Post by Threetoughtrucks » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:15 pm

I have been sworn to secrecy (after reviewing a new line of AG toys for AG). No pics will be published until AG makes their announcement, later this day.

The new line will be called "AG's Heavyweights (or Heavies, the name wasn't in stone when I became involved).

In 1/18. The first release will be the long awaited King Tiger, followed quickly by a Jagdtiger SdKfz 186. The third in this series is the Elephant SdKfz 184, which will be in our hands by this Fall. These three will have the same suspension, based on the Tiger.

By Christmas, the Allies will be in our etailers, a Firefly Sherman, a M-24 Chaffee, and a M-7 Priest.

Almost all sales will be through our etailers and a restart of AG selling direct to us through a internet store. Not all releases will be sold by the store to be fair to our etailers.

If sales go well, some sizeable aircraft will be released in 1/32. B-25, B-17, Me-88, Junkers and a companion C-47.

All this news was held to be released today.... April 1st. :lol:

Yup, that's who I was thinking of.
Let me re-phrase that...I pity the fool (me) who takes Razor's lines. :)

TTT, you still aren't doing it right!! viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7738 You don't give up the joke in the same post as you try to start it.

And AFerg doesn't like it when you start them on the 31st either! :P

PN:

My thread was posted at on 4/1, 12:15AM EST. We all know EST is the only REAL time. 8)

In these days of uncertainly and confusion in the world, I thought it best to reveal the joke right in the first post and not sneak it in the tiny print that I used in more stable years. :roll:

Joke or not, the funny thing is all three tanks would be big sellers for AllGo.........but they better hurry, most of the money I've set aside for King Tigers I'm spending on Pickelhaube Customs; He makes what we want!
AllGo should have Matthew on their production team, might just get them back in the game.

Well, i'm happy to say, you didn't get me this year. As soon as i saw the title, i remembered the date. Nor did VMF get me with his Canadian Mig thread.

However, i did fall for a thread on the ebay forums about a paypal fee increase, so i did not make it through completely unscathed this year.

Let's hope there are some real toy reports forthcoming...
