Stuff is coming for sure. I am hoping to get a pace going of about one new thing every other day. It usually takes about that long as I have to give 21st enough time to get photos to me, then I have to do a quick write up. get that approved and then publish the article. (We want 21st still focusing on actually MAKING the toys and not devoting all the time to articles, right! LOL) I have a list of a dozen or so more things that need pictures taken! -I am not dangling a carrot here, just trying to keep you guys in the loop. (I know you like that)

I noticed the other day that one of our friendly E-tailers had a pre-order page up for a Legends Boyington Corsair that included a ground crew! Sounds like one of the dozen or so items has been given a delivery date.

When It gets here it will be here!............ so uh whats up with the King Tiger??????? just in fun........... Thanks for keeping us up to date.

And some of us just do it because you're fun to pick on and a good sport about it ;)
But I would never do anything like that.... Noooo. Not me... :D

I like the idea of the King Tiger and 88 gun, but next we should see some better, heavier US tanks being made. Such as the M-24 Caffee and the M-26 Pershing tanks. A M-18 Hellcat would be nice too ;) Right now in 1:18th all there is in WWII is just the shrimpy little Sherman tank and the Tigers and Panthers just love punchin' holes in them :twisted: Seems a little tilted toward the Huns don't ya think. But hey, I like the German tanks, just think it would be cool and save ME alot of work trying to kitbash the M-24s and M-26s :) General Blasto

ps. If 21st is going to do more German items, we really need Opel Blitz transport trucks !!! hint, hint

It's actually a marketing ploy by 21st Century Toys to sell more Shermans. :lol:

Well I stoped smashing my fingers and threw away the hammer. It was too hard to type and it does hurt. But I am still sitting on a log a Cypres log. You know the one that floats when high water flows in. It is getting boring I think I will go inside and lay down. I just wish my wife would let me hang some Xd in our bed room . At least I would have something to look at because nothing worth anything has shone up on the news page. :evil:
