1. The Cal cutie P-38 should be out in the next couple weeks. (Late March). On-Line Retailers will get them all I think. (entire stock)

2. Yes, We should see the first paint masters on the 262 Night fighter by the end of the month.

Do you have an update?

Dust is still settling over at 21st HQ. Lots of stuff is in flux. (all in a good way) but it is in flux so solid answers are hard to come by at the moment.

What I do know as of last night.

1. The mystery armor piece has now been photographed for me and an article / announcement will be made today or tomorrow.

2. There is more stuff being photographed to be sent to me as well, I am not sure what all of it is or how much but I have been told more images are coming later tomorrow. Once I can sort out what they are and what scales and details need to be there articles will follow... perhaps by late this week.

3. Distribution news will be addressed!

4. 21st launched a new download wall paper section to the 21st web site today! Check it out!

Wall paper I don't need no stinking wall paper. Maybe a nice faux finish or some trump d' loeil. I said this with my pinky raised

"21st Century Toys is getting close to making a huge and very exciting announcement for all fans of 21C products."

The plane was just the same as the previous ones except now it has straight props and black tires as opposed to gray, and a worse quality level of paint. I've been disappointed so far with it.
The paint issues with BBD that I have been hearing about are the biggest reasons why I have held off on buying it. Old Crow has the most perfect paint job, next to HHH from BBI, that I have seen with the Mustang series. It seems to me BBD was rushed thats why the paint job seems to have problems. Its sad really because BBD has a beautiful paint scheme. But as soon as money permits I will take a gamble and get one because it will be my last Mustang purchase. Then its Hellcat time!

I couldnt bring myself to do it guys. I passed on BBD because the paint job was bad. The store I went to had 4 of them and they were all the same. So my Mustang run has come to an end. I'm happy with what I got and now its Hellcat time!

TKO,
What happened to the 262's?
We havent heard anything about them for a while.
Are we going to see the paint master for the NF 262 anytime soon?

And what happened to the Pak-40 Hanomag?

I am waiting for these as well. When will they be released?

TKO, can you tell me what products TRU will start with? there are a lot of items that never saw daylight in my area that seem to be warming the shelves elsewhere.

After the A-10 we need an A-4 and an A-6

tkojear21,

And what happened to the pak 40 hanomag

They have them for pre order at the motor pool . com and a bunch of other stuff like the me262 nightfighter.

I don't the fan base will be tolerant of waiting for a year or so for preorders, like they did for the TBM

TKO: Is 21st going to be moving stuff into the New Millenium brand? I noticed a retailer recently listing a 109 as coming from New Millenium and I think we are seeing a bigger presence of New Millenium on a number of different fronts.

New Millenium Toys is affiliated with 21st--I have never gotten a clear answer if it is the brand name used by the factory that produces 21st Century stuff, or if it is the name of a parent company of whcih 21st is a part (along with the brand names for all those low-rider RC cars and other non-military items). But if you look at an old Motorworks box, it was usually labeled with New Millenium toys, as are the RC Panzer IV and M113, among others. Same production line, same production team, different name on the box. Kind of like the difference between a Lincoln Aviator and a Ford Explorer--the only real difference is the price and the ego boost it gives the driver to be able to pay more for the same vehicle.

Plane Nuts · Post by **Plane Nuts** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 9:47 pm

New Millenium and 21st are the same company. I am curious as to what the difference might be...didn't realise that the Motorworks were accredited to New Millenium.

On store shelves, in military, the New Millenium is generally cheaper. Their most famous are the RC General Lees.

tko, what ever happened to the 1/18 88

Flytiger · Post by **Flytiger** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 12:53 pm

Been away for a while and wondered if anyone has heard anything about the B-25 being on schedule or not.

Also, I read the comments about the BBD paint flaws and am happy to report mine is just fine.

Another question for TKO - is there ever going to be a P-51 razorback?

Hey flytiger,

I was one that was complaining about the BBD paint flaws until my freind bought me one for my B-Day. I opened the box to find it near flawless! Talk about eating my own words huh? I wish and hope they do a P-51B or C in the future because now that I have BBD there will be no more D model Mustangs for me.
