I know the worst thing that could have happened, is some one could have ended up with a really nice used 1/32 king tiger.

I don't think there was ever a BIN price, in the first or second listing.

Wouldn't you like to know the real full story on this thing? Who she got it from and when. Does she actually know when 21st went out of business? Do we actually know when that exact date was? If she has had it for some time, why is it just now going up for sale. Was this really the only one made? Where are the molds and who has them if they still exist?

Man, this thing opens up the door to a ton of conjecture.

well hasn't this created a stir.

I wish i'd kept my big mouth shut and just took a chance and bought the thing...it will go for over $500 i bet.

There never was a BIN price. The first auction just had a starting bid of $9.99.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

her story is on page one.....she told me:


Hi again, yes it is a 1:18 scale tank. I received it with a huge lot of 21st items which I was told came directly from the company right after they went out of business. This must have been a production sample or prototype which never was made. It measures 14" Long x8.5" wide x7" Tall and 22" from the front of the gun to the back of the tank. Hope this helps. Thanks, heather

I'm positive there was never a BIN in either auction. I saw it when it was first listed. I would have bought it if there was a BIN.
