Hi Red, Yes, we do send out tracking info once the package is set up for shipment. You should receive yours shortly. Figure three business days to get from NYC to Chicago. Panzer, no we havent heard about the Panzer III or Panzer IVs from Easy Model. Keep in mind alot of the stuff was originally inc...

Hi Guys, Just thought you might like to know that Dragon intends to reignite their Dragon Warbirds line with the introduction of a slew of new aircraft types across multiple scales. Likewise, lots of Aerospace subjects are being introduced over the next few months. You can check out their new lineup...

Hi Panzer, We didnt order enough of the Marder. It blew out and our distributor was out when we went back to re-order. In the past, we used a formula to calculate our order needs based upon grading of the item and pre-orders. When more people decided to wait to order an item, it threw off our calcul...

Hi Red, We're going to be shipping out the Panzerstahl line shortly. We had to upgrade our computer equipment this week (migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7) and ran into some problems along the way. I spent seven hours on the phone with Dell tech support trying to figure out why their Dell printe...

Hi, I agree with some of the previous posters. Your best option is the USPS with insurance. That said, better make sure the outer box is less than 108" otherwise they may refuse to accept the parcel. I think the maximum measurements for some countries are even smaller. I'd box it up, ask them the co...

Hi,
Thanks for the information and we've updated our site. I only wish they would offer this as part of their 1:32 scale series. Virtually all of their other 1:72 scale vehicles make the transition to 1:32, or vica versa.

Hello Hanomag, The Collectors Showcase armor compares quite favorably with the K&C sets. In fact, they're developed in the same 1:30 scale and are designed to be interchangeable with their products. Reviews have been very favorable. Of course, it would be nice to have operational tracks, but I dont ...

Hi, Currently, the M26 Pershing is set for a late June release, unless the inevitable delay creeps in. :? I doubt FOV would produce an upscale line of 1:30 or 1:32 scale models. Right now, I think we should be thankful that some new pieces are on the horizon (Jagdtiger, Opel, new Deuce) in today's e...

Hi,
I'm not familiar with 60081 but 60080 was released. We have a few pieces still in stock.

Here's the email we received earlier today: Dear Dealers, It is with much disappointment that I must announce that there will no longer be a Warmaster brand and thus we cannot fulfill your generous preorders. After not receiving any solid follow up information since the Nuremberg Toy Fair we finally...

Hi GI, As Cpt Slade mentioned, we're over in Queens and carry virtually the entire FOV line, save a few of the slower moving items. We meet people a block off of the Grand Central Parkway so its pretty convenient for most people in the NYC metropolitan area. No tolls, shipping charges, etc. and we t...

Ah, Roco Minitanks. My first experience collecting these little honeys must have been in the late sixties, when they were heartily displayed at Toy City here in Bayside, Queens. I guess I was around 12 or 13 when I first started acquiring these brutes, then I remember coming across a mail order hous...

The dappled ambush scheme has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for posting the pix. Looks yummy...

Banana,
If you had a choice between a Panther and a M26 Pershing down the road, which would you choose?

Hi, While I concur that some postal agencies dont go the distance when it comes to getting a package to its destination, we've found that other mitigating factors help to contribute to the problem and cant be blamed on the postal service. Here's a few: - Language barriers: if the recipient doesnt sp...

Jack, That's a nice logo you got there. Probably took you a bit of time to create it, not to mention market your own brand over the last few years. Now, if another customizer came along, repainting planes and adding 'your' logo to the finished work of art, deriving a profit to boot without so much a...

Hi, Not looking to step on anyone's toes but you'd better check with a lawyer to see if you can replicate the second scheme sporting the Playboy Bunny insignia on the tail. Seems to be you're leaving yourself open to a potential lawsuit from the Playboy camp. One reason why Century Wings couldnt imp...

Hello Dragon, Although I usually refrain from commenting on the value of an item, I'm inclined to believe that the regular version will appreciate in value as well. Keep in mind that there are few players now in the 1:18 scale market and a huge installed base of collectors willing to pay a premium f...

Hello Bob, Even though the Leopard spotted F-14 might not be to everyone's liking, I personally think there's enough buzz going for this bird which will drive up its value in the near-term. I just spoke with Merit (looking for our regular F-14 shipment) and they indicated that all of the special edi...

Hi Ace, We could easily give them a boost in sales and increase their exposure, however, there's a couple of problems with the scenario. If they dont have US distribution, then these products have to be imported from outside the country. That means clearing customs, excessive shipping costs, opening...

Hello Trevor,
In that case, let me be the first to say thank you for helping DeAgostini getting this line off the ground. Been a long time coming...

Hello,
Unimax has now provided us with imagery for both the Missouri and Yamato battleships. I believe they may also be viewable on the Forces of Valor web site.

Hi Guys, I read with interest this thread and decided to give the US distributor a call post iHobby Show to see what's going on with the IXO line. Here's the latest intel I gleaned which could obviously be different from what Trevor has already posted. There are no immediate plans to bring in any of...
