Found this while searching for 1/18 AC. Thought that this would interest some here. I would be more interested in the OD Green.

Yeah, I bought two of these back in July for $75/piece not knowing how many they had in stock (probably their last two). Anyway, the date for the "next shipment" has changed 3 different times, from Nov 08 to dec 08 to now in early 09. I called and talked to a couple different people on different occassions and tried to get a good answer from them. I believe the last of these were made in 2003? Their earlier stock was probably just "lost in the warehouse" for a period of time. I'm very skeptical that they will really get anymore.

Man I remember stacks of these at Walmart. I bought one for 25 dollars there. There must have been at least 20 at one of the Walmarts I went to.

I wish they would make "the Quiet One" stealth helicopter.

The Air America's laid around here on the shelves for almost a year at $15. They changed locations within the stores so much that towards the end alot of them had missing celaphane windows, boxes trashed, and eventually the helo's themselves were damaged and missing parts. Then one day pretty much disappeared.

Thats not a bad price considering what they are going for on ebay. I think I might get a couple to repaint.

These were selling for $49 with free shipping about 4 or 5 months ago at this same site. I picked one up 'cause I didn't have one.

I couldn't believe I found it (very last page) because they were going for at least triple that at the time on ebay. Sometimes it pays to do a google search.

Of course now I get a lot of info here. :)
