Small Scale Military Headquarters

I accidentally stumbled across this website today and thought maybe some of you might be interested in the 1/18 scale (90 mm) figurines. They are pretty expensive, though :wink:: The Third Reich - Rise & Fall series: http://www.andrea-miniatures.com/_carro/AspsProductos/listado.asp?IdColeccion=128 9...

Welcome aboard and make yourself comfortable while we wait for the next release to materialize in a couple years time. It appears that you like super-detailing your AC, so 1/18 should be a natural choice for you. There was a Greek guy on the customs forum awhile back who was completely remodelling h...

They did state was was stolen though,.. "B - Stolen products List: 1 - JSI 1/18 P-38 Lightning 2 - JSI 1/18 F4U Corsair 3 - JSI 1/18 Ju 87 Stuka 4 - JSI 1/18 Tiger Tank 5 - JSI 1/18 Panther Tank 6 - JSI 1/18 M16A1 Half-track 7 - JSI 1/18 US Soldier 8 - JSI 1/18 German Soldier Question is stolen fro...

Very understandable response Corey. And I am sure many other 1/18 collectors feel this way. :wink: Lots of great stuff available in 1/32, and smaller scales. Better quality and detail, and done in metal. Plus the selection is much more vast. The selling point of 1/18 was the size[WOW factor], and t...

Ok, let's assume TKO’s assessment is correct, the Pegasus X-1 notwithstanding. We're royally FUBAR then. Which is why I don't get the whole "but we should just be so grateful that manufacturers are still around to rob us blind" attitude in this hobby. Being that this is now officially "a rich man's ...

Well, you could always look at it the other way around. I, for instance, have been contemplating purchasing a BBI Sabuko zero, but have not gotten around to it, as I see no reason to collect any additional items with the market (on the manufacturer side, mind you) in the sorry state it's in. I can o...

This hobby is going nowhere fast.

And people still wonder why 1/18 scale manufacturers don't give a rat's backside about blatant oversights, like leaving out the Glamorous Glennis marking in the pre-assembled, pre-painted Pegasus X-1...

With Allgo as a partner, and owning the prototype I assume, I see no reason why they wouldn't set it up with Skyworks doing the tweaking of the prototype, getting paid handsomely for their excellent work, and then Allgo taking the ball and running with it for mass production. It just makes sense. O...

1:18 SKY-WORKS TOYS Kittyhawk Mk.IV Edward Ross Italy 1944 SW-P40E010

A meager $799.99. I guess pricing it at $800.00 was too much.

Very detailed work. Looks fantastic. OTOH, chances are this will cost you a leg and arm. A 10 is a joint venture between All Goo and SkyWorksToys we are using existing 21 Century Toys prototype and reworking it to SkyWorksToys standards there is lots of problem areas where model is not scale to full...

You like your models with some real 'battle damage', I assume?

The Merit pictures look good. Too bad you don't do international shipping, since I guess some board members might be interested on this one. Not that I would pay that premium on e-Bay when the regular version is supposed to retail for $300, though. Due to the size of the aircraft and box, i am unabl...

Yeah, well, if prices are going to skyrocket anymore, then maybe collectors should demand that companies pay a little more attention to QC and stop giving them the runaround with non-existing product releases and titty-themed repaints on an otherwise overdone/outdated mold. Most of them, however, wi...

Of course, y'all know this is because All-Go couldn't sell their prototype on e-bay... :lol: Serioulsy now, the price on this one will be prohibitive. And $800 for a pre-painted, pre-built Skyworks A-10? With ordnance? :shock: I don't care who you are, I just want some of what you're smoking. :P :wi...

I don't know, the pilot section of the canopy in my nightfighter is glued shut, so I can't put anything in there. Typical 21C QC snafu. No wonder their prototypes, molds, whathaveyou go up in smoke every once in a while.

You're reaching there buddy. :roll: But you are right about that comment. I was referring to those who are not members of this forum and who did not get the low down from here. Everyone here knew what they were buying. I’m kind of excited that I made you waist all that time trying to dig that up. :...

Wooooo! Down with JSI and Merit! Nope, but they have to be reminded not to take their customers' loyalty for granted just because no one else is making an F-14 in 1/18 scale. Or maybe we should applaud them and congratulate them on a job well done, given the fact that the Spotcat can be fixed for a...

And for those unlucky enough to be stuck with a $230 Jolly Rogers Tomcat full of liver spots and crappy landing gear (aka Spotcat)? What are you guys at Merit going to do for them, Jim? does that include everyone who bought the Jet after it was out and everyone knew the issues? And how many people ...

May I remind you of your own post on this page? Bad Cats is now saying the same thing... DUE TO THE HIGH COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPING THIS LARGE PLANE, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT RETURNS OR EXCHANGES ON THIS ITEM FOR MINOR FIT AND FINISH ISSUES. So basically all sales are final when it comes to Bad C...

Additional note for the 28 sets of VF-154 at Comic Con: - These 28 sets come with a hand reproduced resin set of weapons pack, reproduced from the mold making tool masters. - The steel molds are being made for the weapons set and a plastic injection molded set of same weapons will be sent down the ...

JSI has lost a customer for good here. Merit has lost credibility in my eyes with their handling of the situation. I have one F-14 that required my skills to fix its s****y paintjob. I won't be buying another. Wake me when something exciting actually happens in 1/18th. Sleep tight, Mr. van Winkle! :P

yeah i had that problem on everyone of my birds, jsi really needs to step it up, but i don't hold the companies that sell these birds responsilbe as they are just trying to make a living like us, but i hold the manufactor responsible, when you tell companies like bad cat, military toys shop, we won...

well at least they listened and made corrections, That is worth something to me a lot actually. As a business it would be a logistical nightmare to take back all the F-14s to repaint and re gear them and then mail them back out from china. they would probably go out of business. Just Imagine yourse...
