I have two on pre-order right now because I found a better deal on it but haven't gotten around to canceling the first one. Never really intended to buy a second one for resale purposes; I guess I should get on that and cancel the other one. I dunno if you'd be able to turn a profit on one of these,...

The F-22 is pretty high on my personal wish list, even if it does only have one paint scheme; thats not really something that factors into my priorities, I just want cool looking jets. I'm sure thats not a view shared by the manufacturers, of course :) Anyway my appended ranking would be: 1. A-10 2....

Yeah, I think perhaps what they meant is that, historically, there has been far more WWII product than modern; both in terms of types of aircraft/armor, and in number of repaints. I don't blame them for wanting to get away from that. I know as a consumer, I get far more excited for a new piece than ...

I hope this is a sign that the sales and pre-orders so far have been good, if they're already looking for opinions on what to do next. Well heres how I would rank them in order of preference, and yep, I'd buy them all :D ! Aircraft: 1. A-10 2. F-4 Phantom II 3. AV-8B Harrier 4. A-7 Corsair II 5. Mig...

I just saw that Big Bad Toy Store is carrying it, but its already pre-sold out. They had it priced at $209.99 and since they're based out of Wisconsin I bet shipping would have been cheaper for some of us. Ah well, something to keep an eye on in the future. They don't seem to be carrying any of the ...

No, I think those are 1:12 (6") scale, those look like the same bodies they used for their Call of Duty figs. Frankly I'm kinda surprised to see anything at all from them, they've really fropped off the radar in the last year or so. :(

I always thought the thing about box size was related to cost? The 1/6 stuff is huge but it also sells in the $100-$200 range. It doesn't make sense to me that WM wouldn't carry a larger 1:18 product, unless they're trying to keep all A/C at the same price point.

Hmm, I know what you mean. I'm not really expecting anything totally new from 21C given how much announced stuff is yet to be released; just new Avenger pics, maybe F-86 and MiG protos. Though I do remember something about a new piece of armor hinted at in an interview with Roy that we haven't heard...

Yep, so did I, and the Wal-Mart I found them at didn't have any figures on the shelves prior to putting them out, so I'm reasonably sure they come one set each to a case.
