wow...so that's two you guys will get ahead of us. The one that's available may be leftover Comic Con exclusive ones; that would explain the high price. You can get them on Ebay for around the same.

I don't think the true production run of the Marineflieger version is slated until early next year.....correct me if i'm wrong.

I guess you are right. But all 21st stuff are realy expensive here in Europe. The PZ IV with side skirt is around 70euros for exemple.

What is the current exchange rate? (US Dollar/Euro)

exether_mega · Post by **exether_mega** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 1:38 am

refering to toaday's exchange rate, you need 1,23$ for 1euro.

Take care.

Hey Phil, with that exchange rate why do I feel like that dog is laughing at me?

Broke down and bought the "Ltd Ed" Luftwaffe Starfighter on ebay, $82 shipped so what the heck. It's a beautiful plane in the flesh! I'd easily given $100 for it if saw on a shelf somewhere. Curious when they finally release this scheme if it will come in the current Ltd Ed. box or if will come in the standard S1 box like other XD. I hope comes in the latter, that'll make the Ltd Ed. birds more desirable to collectors like me. Anyway, it's my new favorite, at least till the JASDF scheme comes out like they initially said it would...

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I just saw on a german site that the German F-104 has been delivered and is on its way to shops around Germany.

Can't wait till I get mine.

Cheers,

Mike

Any word on when we can expect the camo 104?

mikek1359 · Post by **mikek1359** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 12:02 am

I asked 21st the same question, the reply i got was anywhere between september and the end of december.

So i think it'll be the end of december, but there always might be delays, due to production, shipping, logistical stuff.

Thanks, mikek1359.

Did any of the variants ever show at Walmart?

Sgt. Fury · Post by **Sgt. Fury** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 4:20 pm

German Marine F-104G - I just received an e-mail with Tracking Number from BCT and FedEx. Order says EARLY ARRIVAL. FedEx delivery date is October 19, 2005.
ZERO - Now I get an email from BCT and FedEx that the ZERO I ordered is slated for delvery on October 21, 2005.
Hmmm...an Avenger in early November would be bleeding great. Navy air rules. How about a Dauntless..You just gotta love those shelf-able folding wings.
