Well we all know how a while back 21stcentury released a article about them making a b25. Well what if you were given an option. Like if 21st century asked the customers if they would give up seeing armor and only having a few figures for 1 year if they got a 1/18 b25, a 1/18 german bomber of some sort, and a japenese bomber of some sort produced. Well my question is would yah give up armor releases and having only a few figure releases for a year just to see some awsome long awaited big heavy duty bombers be produced

I can't live without my troops and armor. However I do love the Bombers, but I can wait because they would probably be outa my price range anyways.

ABSOLUTELY, It's about time someone produced some bombers. In the approximate decade that 1/18 Military aircraft have been released we have yet to see a twin engine bomber. (hell they aren't even doing bombers in 1/48 or 1/144 yet.... does that make any sense?)

Absolutely, without a doubt. Especially if the future armor releases are pushing $100 a pop.

well, since we've yet to see a new piece of armour for the last 12 months i guess that means we have 3 1/18 bombers just around the corner?
I don't expect to see any 1/18 bombers ever. Not even sure about new armour in the next year other than the KT and 88.

Yep... I hate to disappoint you flyboys, but you can bomb an enemy into the stone age, but to win a war you must occupy the enemy's territory, and it takes men and tanks to do that, so bring on the troops and armor.

Well I could care less about the figs. I don't even take them out of the box when I get new aircraft or armor. I had a poll sometime ago armor vs aircraft and armor won I think 3 to 1 . I am on the fence I like both equaly . To give one up for the other ? It aint going to happen.

I'm with Aferg on this one. When was the last 21C armor release? I think we have all learned to deal with sssssslllllllooooooowwwwww movement on realeases.
And hell yes, bring on the bombers!

I would love to see three different bombers. As much as I like my armor, I think I would trade it for some bombers provided that some armor was forthcoming afterwards.

I can almost guarantee if you broke it down and were able to see the numbers, figures are probably what have helped finance the more pricey items in the line overall... At least to an extent. Figures almost always carry a toy line while the larger ticket items are usually only things that come about because of financial successes at the smaller pricepoint levels.
With that in mind, I wholely would NOT give up figures for a bomber... Not only does the reality of it not jive with me, I get a lot more out of figure collecting/display than any vehicles, armor or planes, but to be honest I'd not want to give up the armor either. Planes are nice, but I personally can live without them wheras armor and figures are what I'd prefer in general.
I'd love to see a glider or some other larger aircraft, but I'll be happy to see them only after the line's success overall makes them possible.

Well, seeing B-25s, Do-117s and Hienkel 111s would be nice for the hobby, BUT it takes up Soooo much room

And with the KTs to come in around $100 Each, I'm going to be selling most of my planes to pay for them. Most of the 20 some odd planes I have are NIB, never taken out. And I paid a ton for them on Evil bay, so I think I'll trade my planes for the new KTs and 88s

I voted "NO" because I like the mix. But like Aferg pointed out: what does it matter? We are already there, and I suspect we will still be there a few months from now. And short of Bill Gates suddenly bankrolling XD development, I doubt we will ever see bombers from 21st. Or even an F4.

I voted "YES", but only for a U.S. 4-engine bomber.

Dang, a 4 engine bomber, say a B-17 would have a wing span of what, 5 or 6 feet ??? And think of the actual weight of a complete model, even in plastic, 30 lb.s perhaps. What would the retail price of it be too, at least $500 for sure if not more, but it might look intresting
