Small Scale Military Headquarters

I'd like to believe it, especially since we had heard that the KT I have heard that the King Tiger was close but not quite ready. Based upon that, I doubt that production actually started, but I do suspect that there is a big pile of nearly-finished tooling for it somewhere that will probably event...

I heard it right from the "horse's mouth" (so to speak) that this was not a helpful situation, causing significant and unhelpful costs due to increased testing requirements.

That are either being re-issued or some old stock has been found. They will be available again next month.

To the contrary, 21st is legally obligated to protect the sale of their models here in the US. Their licensing agreements have a clause that says they, as licensee, will take legal action against any third party that attempts the importation or sale of any product protected by trade market and lice...

Personally I always wonder what happened to their A-10 prototype or their, F-4, B-25, or Mig-21 prototype (snicker-snicker) for that matter. I wonder what happened to the KING TIGER prototype. I am sure that the A-10 and the King Tiger went home with employee(s). Hard to say if some of the others e...

In-a-better-mood-revision-to-prior-comment: agreed, not particularly to my liking, hopefully next effort is improved.

holy cow....the spots looking really dark in that picture. So even the more expensive special edition ones have spots. Oh my. I wonder if the custom paint job ones they'll do for $1600 will have spots on them too. Maybe they like the spots and think they look really cool. I wonder the spots are lim...

LOL - for sure!

Not sure how much the shipping from Japan would be.
I have ordered from Japan before,and the shipping is relatively expensive.

Thanks for posting SSFF

Edit: IGNORE. Mis-read original post.

It's hard to say. They didn't seem to implode like 21st Century did. The fact that they were still considering new product after problems with moving repaints like the German F-86 and the grey Me-262 suggest that those situations were not as bad at they could have been. I'm just speculating of cours...

Would this be wrong to make or in bad taste ? Don't think it would be in any worse taste than the German S.S. 1:18 scale figure set, which (within context) is OK I think. Now, if someone buys 100 of these from you to make a shrine in their back bedroom closet then, well, I'm probably not down with ...

I see that greatmodels.com is taking pre-orders for a 1:18 P-40B, so it must indeed by a JSI re-release.

If someone could confirm if it was in 21st Century or JSI packaging I think this would answer the question.

anyway it seems a lot of items that had been put in the back for over a year was out on the floor - including warhawks 1:18 - and Dak figures - the going price was 48.99 i think which frustrated me because they had been ob clearance last year... I believe they will have no trouble moving those airc...

LOL.

I Just remember this being an issue in the past. I was just comparing the issues. Feel free to compare them, but with the correct facts. When you say "a bunch of orders" you are, at best, comparing against an incorrect recollection of the original complaint. There was a thread on this subject here ...

I totally understand both sides of this but, I remember when the Attack on cobra island packs came out you canceled a bunch of order's due to ratio issues and you would have lost money on the sales, but isn't that the same thing? I canceled only three orders out of hundreds for very specific reason...

Man, this is a baffling scenario to be sure. It is almost beyond belief that JSI would turn around and release something that looks different from their promotional photos, especially to the extent that it would have some kind of inaccurate grey polka-dot spray ops on it. Their reputation would be s...

Not at all. I thought it was hilarious.

I always get a laugh from these "this is not what a real man does" übermacho kind of comments. And, yes, it’s the "be a man about it” part I have a problem with, because unless you intend to walk the walk and follow up on your physical threats of bodily injury, it's a waste of time. Did I miss a ph...

It's their RIGHT to back out too if nothing's been mailed, not a privilage granted by the seller BTW, where did you come up with this one? This isn't supported anywhere in common law (offer + acceptance = binding transaction) even eBay says 'no-no' to this. And, even if backing out is OK which I wo...

I really mean this as no offense but that's a bad excuse. :) Well, you (and digger) and I disagree. I believe than when a deal is struck and there has been a agreement to pay, the onus and responsibility then falls on the buyer to either follow through and pay -OR- explain why he/she hasn't done so...

but perhaps a heads up to Corey that you might not make the best trader on here to the extent our forum is an extension of your business. I participate on this forum as a collector of this product as well, I am not here strictly to advertise my business and I think an examination of my posting hist...

hworth18's corroboration notwithstanding - I guess since neither of us followed up with each other after an agreement was reached, we are both equally at fault. Is that the board's assessment?

There are two at fault here. Cornbreadfed has taken an item and not paid for it, which is bad form and ultimately theft. Corey, however, should not have let the item go until he got the payment. Hold your horses. I never mailed him anything and don't believe I said that I did. I am merely citing tw...

cornbreadfred wrote:Corey I wish you would have contacted me about this.

Really? Figured you might be wondering where your item was at then, considering that you paid? Never heard from you either though. Odd.
