Are the models for sale?! :shock: No...they're free....if you buy the real thing!!! Good pics siqnus.

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: 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.

I noticed today that one of my WalMarts did a reset in the last week, so it appears to be reset time... I'm looking forward to seeing how Target puts BBi into the planogram... sometimes their pegs start to run together after a couple months. and it's not like the Blackhawk and Apache have small boxes.

Seriously, grown men can collect (and even play with if we want) toys. It's perfectly natural.

Well, it has wings, so it meets my first criteria, and I would buy one if available. But I don't really want one. I think it is stupid ugly, and when set next to a Hellcat would prove just how undesireable it really is. I would probably feel the same way when I set my Hellcat next to my Bearcat. But...

Well, the ad from Bad Cat this morning indicates that they ponied up for the first allotment, and this one is the very first version.

So what Mike meant by June is still up for debate. My bet is that was when they would be starting full blown production.

Didn't Mike kind of hint that the Hellcat would be out in June? Maybe he was intimating that they were likely to be on the boat sometime in June. Or perhaps that production would be at full tilt in June, which would put them on the boat by July, and to Bad Cat by August. But the way I read Bad Cat'...
