although i do agree with aferg i believe they are keeping the door open. protecting your name is the first step. they cant do anything to the Chinese (JSI). heck the U.S. government cant get them to stop pirating dvds and other items. i wasnt making a statement more possing a question.

Re: Admiral Toys...Missing in Action?

It's hard to say. They didn't seem to implode like 21st Century did. The fact that they were still considering new product after problems with moving repaints like the German F-86 and the grey Me-262 suggest that those situations were not as bad at they could have been. I'm just speculating of cour...

Here are some photos I used as reference for the Admiral Toys' Zero. I too used the referenced websites above and they led me to the group of guys that restored this aircraft. They write many of the articles on the various websites. http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/jasonofadmiraltoys/fuse2.jpg ...

Sorry, I just can't get excited about Admiral's anouncements anymore. I now officially have an "I'll believe when I see it" attitude when it comes to Admiral. Admiral seems to have become like Lindsey Lohan going on a crack binge now and then just to keep her name in the news otherwise everyone wou...

Back to the F-4...I'd rather see Admiral pick up the ball on the Phantom (and there's been some hints from AT that this is not impossible)...let JSI get its game on with repaints & the Tomcat, and when it's time for something new, roll out the B-25...anybody with me on this...?

Jason, From a retailers perspective this new scheme is not very attractive. While I like the Nose Art, another yellow-banded Sabre is beating a dead horse.

I like it and would buy it but it sucks that 21st also made this same model so we get almost twice as many repaints. I also understand about repaints is what makes a company money but why not do a model that no one has made before? Then you can have all the repaints you want to do and as long as it...

I don't think I have to PM you. The promotion is for "one" of each model. Please call AT if you wish to change your order.

Not a problem. Sorry you missed out on a 5$ 1:18 aircraft.
At this very second, I am even more encouraged to produced aircraft at a MSRP of $60.00

You can only receive one of the CL's; however, if you wish to order the tanks at the discounted price you may do so by stating 2nd order Promo tanks. They will double check your or...

You probably have to do something like the Wargame industry has done; set a break-even goal of pre-orders and only then move to production (1000 preorders??). I realize this may be a bit more tricky and don't know lead times or how long it takes to get a model from design to a customer's hands. Ano...

Ok, here is the answer to the increase in shipping price. The price that is quoted on the website is the discounted price for shipping the model at full retail, $59.95. You are only paying $5. We are charging the full cost of shipping. We are not raising it above the standard cost of shipping. Pleas...
