JSI F-14 exclusive weapons pack for sale

At the 2010 San Diego Comic Con, I bought a JSI F-14. The one with the Knight and the lights. The guy told me this San Diego version would come with an exclusive weapons set, which would be shipped out later. The cost of the plane was pretty high, but he said that if I didn't want the extra exclusiv...

Replacing batteries on JSI F-14???

This may have been posted already, but does anyone now how to replace the batteries on the F-14? If seems the battery compartment cover won't come off with the cockpit section attached to the main body. Has anyone done this already?

1:18 at TRU

I don't know if it's already been mentioned...but I found a 1:18 Sabre jet from 21stCentury at TRU today. That's the first time I've seen a 1:18 21st aircraft there since probably 2003!

21st Me -262 !!!!

Got the Me-262 for Christmas from my wife. Gotta love her. Overall, this is a magnificent product from 21st Century. I did however, break one of the little tabs on the bottom gear door rack. I tried to be really careful, but the door was wedged in so tight, I couldn't get it to budge at all, until I...

It gets frustrating waiting to find out what will happen with Wal-Marts goofy distribution system. I remember the Huff being so hard to find...and now they are everywhere. Who knows...tomorrow it may be the same thing with the Russian MIG.

Has anyone seen a Russian Mig on clearance???

If anyone sees a Russian Mig on clearance, please let me know. I would happily pay a few extra bucks to someone who could get one and ship it to me here in Southern California. All I've ever seen out here were the Chineese camo ones. Thanks

Brea, Ca....

The Walmart in Brea has two BBD P-51's, 1 Pearl Harbor P-40 and about 9 Huff F-86's. Still no sign of any Russian Migs. Has anybody in SoCal seen these planes????

Patience paid off. I found (and bought) "the Huff" F-86 at Wal-Mart in Brea, CA. It was the last one. Has anyone seen the Russian Mig anywhere in SoCal????

Where are the f-16's

Dear Mike,

Please update us with information on when we can expect to see the f-16's again, and where will we be able to buy them. Also, why such a long delay in their production?

I think 21st century should work a little harder on their instruction sheet. A nine dollar Transformer toy comes with an instruction sheet that puts theirs to shame. I also think that instruction sheet should over emphasize the delicate nature of the toy. I can already see a lot of requests coming t...

The little black pitot tube thingy that was in the torpedo bag is still a mystery. I've looked and looked and can't find a place for it to go. As for the turret not turning to well, I'd say that just about everything on this doesn't open smoothly. The level of detail on these planes means tiny plast...

TBF-1

Well...good news for those in sunny Southern California. I just bought two of the Avengers at the Brea Wal-Mart. (There are still two left as of 8 am). Here is my review so far: 1. $70...worth the price for the size and quality. 2. Yes, there is a torpedo for the bomb bay. 3. The third crew member d...

Just got back from the Star Wars FanFilm awards ceremony. Yep...just to confirm, there is nothing new from BBi at the merit booth (which is like 10' by 15' anyway). there is no sign of 21stcentury anywhere. I'll be back on the floor tomorrow, and I'll see if theyve added anything.

San Diego ComicCon

I've been down here in San Diego since Wednesday night, and sadly, there is absolutely nothing here as far as 1:18 scale military goes. What a dissapointment. Last year was great with 21stCentury's huge display and exclusives. The merit booth that has BBi stuff was just sad. Your local Toys R Us has...

Don't get me wrong, I love all the WWII fighters and the 104, Mig, Sabre, etc....but I would really like to see a 1:18 H3 Sea King helicopter.

We all need to be patient and realize that the development and production of anything takes times and can get delayed. 21stCentury Toys does a pretty good job of telling fans what lies ahead.
