Why do they keep picking on this plane at the 27.00 price, they have lots of other 1/18th planes that have been in stock for alot longer that could stand to have a clearance price, too. Did BCA get almost the entire allotment of 262s from Admiral and have hundreds left over or what?

Thanks Mike, been hoping those would go on sale again.
I do recall hearing somewhere that BCA had purchased the remaining 262s from AT.

Wow that is a steal!
That is some good predatory pricing. But business is business.

Thanks for the heads up Mike. For this price I had to pick one up. With the flat rate $9.99 shipping this is a steal! Bonus is that I really like Admiral's communication on this site. I know buying these up at bargain basement prices isn't really the support they need but it is nice to know I can do my part to keep the goods coming from them.

Thanks for the heads-up Mike! I hate you
Just kidding!
I had to get one of these at this awesome price- All I have to do now is figure out where I'm going to display it!

The AT ME-262 is certainly worth more than that price, so BadCat's offeing a good deal on that plane. They're probably clearing space for upcoming releases

Yeah but Admiral still got what they wanted for the planes when Bad Cat bought them from them. They apparantly have a bunch and just need to clear them out. Hurting is what WM does, clearance out for $15 and less..
This is good future ebay material at that price..

I bought some the last time they went on sale, but I'm very tempted to get a few more of them.

Nice answer, vmf214. You are correct. We have a very good relationship with Bad Cat, as with the many other retailers that carrying our products.
Bad Cat has the resources to carry large quantities of the 1:18 lines and should be supported for it. There are a few retailers out there that make selling only to the secondary markets worth future productions. We should support them when we can. I think I just might go buy one at that price
You will see competitive pricing with multiple manufacturers producing the same aircraft.
That is a great price for a great aircraft!
Regards,
Jason

While I'm envious of the sale price, I'm just extremely happy somebody finally produced an ME262. Must have been waiting for 7 years. I've got both of the Admiral Toys versions at extremely reasonable prices.
