Thanks Dragon, I appreciate it, the second pic made up my mind for me, It will be mine :D . I agree about the price of the A-7D, I won't preorder it instead I usually wait for someone to have a sale or post a coupon but Badcat is on to me and now excludes CWs from all their coupons :x

I kind of wish he made the movie like the book, det in the late 1800s and the tripods were not indestructable, some lucky artillery shots killed a few and it would be amazing to see the Thunder Child battleship take on the tripods :D

Didn't WalMart kill the GI Joe line from the 80's? They Told Hasbro they want brighter colors, less war like toys and added play features. This would really suck if toy companies start doing what the stores tell them too.

I work and therefore pretty much live at the Midway airport and have literally walked into people staring up at our amazing Dauntless in the "A" concourse, I was even lucky enough to fuel up a P-51, S-3 Viking AH-1 Cobra and an F-18 all in the same day.

The crooks strike again.

I was at the Hodgekins Il. Walmart today and I did my recon , from a distance I saw the boxes, FW 190a, yes! below that the Hetzer and Marder, yes again! I finally have them. I got closer and to my now angered surprise the FW 190a was not in the box, someone returned the box with a FW190D, the Marde...

Jason, once again thanks for being so upfront with us, I have a few questions, now that you have had your F-4 for a while, have you noticed any long term problems that you would address on any of your future releases like sagging wings, soft landing gear, or brittle ordnance? These seem to be the bi...

I agree with point #1 I have noticed a serious lack of any new products anywhere, not only XD but anything new for GI Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, and Transformer as well, I wonder if this has to do with all the problems in China? Bad QC and most of the Chinese preparations for the olympics.

In my opinion, the blades look better sagging, I fuel Blackhawks and I can almost touch the tips of the rotors. The sag adds more realism to them, I have seen the Il. ANG add weights to their Blackhawks and Chinooks rotors to make them sag even more so they can hold them while wing walking.
