While we're at it....what happened to the Hobby Boss 1/18th scale Dauntless model kits? Must have been swallowed by the same black hole that got AT.

Are you telling me that you prepaid for a future item with no terms whatsoever when it was due to be built? Sorry, I do a lot of ordering and that just boggles my mind. DO NOT do this in the future..trust me you will get burned at some point.

Any business that would accept your payment is very shady to me :evil:

Even though we will never see these, I'm keeping my order alive :D
Exactly my thought. :) If you've not had to pay, it doesn't hurt.

There is so much out there that I missed before, that these can wait. That said, if they came out tomorrow, I'd be more than happy and get one.

I have just accepted the fact that what has been made is it. Except for the specialized ones, and maybe JSI, which at times even seems in doubt; that the big three are pretty much done.

You know this could all be answered if someone from Admiral would take about thirty seconds of time and write a quick note here. I'd still love to get the Dauntless but without news I'm not going to preorder one.
