Hmmm, actually... Nope!

Following your analogy, I'd be "pacified" if they addressed their quality control problems.

Wow. Maybe I won't start collecting. I asked on a post on the F-104 review on Youtube if the tails were bent on them like the model in the video that they pointed out and someone else posted his tail was fine, but had other broken plastic parts. If they are toys instead of models that argument make...

That’s the thing, Tman. I’m not begging for your sympathy and I honestly don’t care a hoot about your straw man arguments: “Just because you live somewhere far off doesn't mean that 21c has to cater exactly to <I>your</I> specific needs.” Oh, c’mon.

You must've missed the thread where it was explained that they put some of the "errors" in deliberately - something to do with their weird (to us :? )superstions means it's bad luck to make the models too accurate. Anyway, don't forget it's 21st Century Toys , not 21st Century Accurate Scale Models...

As Jackson pointed out, this is in fact Franz Stigler's personal mount. While Galland did fly this aircraft on occasion it was only because he was who he was that Stigler allowed it. Also, it is only because Galland was photographed with the aircraft that it has become "his" over the years. Stigler...

There's still some debate whether Peiper actually knew about that massacre (I myself believe he never knew about it until after the fact), but in the end, it doesn't really matter. It's his men who did the killing. So that's his responsibility. As to why produce a figure like Peiper? Simple enough....

Sorry to rain on your parade people, but according to TKO 21st put this project on the backburner for the time being because their sales at WM took a plunge on 2007, so it is highly unlikely that this aircraft will be out by next March. My understanding at this time is that the F-4 is the furthest a...

Well, in order to do the head swap you need the Vietnam figs first. I have only seen one e-tailer (foxholetoys.com) carry them thus far, and at $11.95 ea :shock:, those are some pretty pricey headsculpts, IMO. :cry:

What's the point in producing new 1:18 figures if the price is prohibitive? :roll:
