Hi all - new to the forum, and relatively new to collecting the 1:18 scale stuff (anything that's not GIJoe, anyway).
Anyway, I blame tkjaer21 and the pictures of his collection he's always posting on another forum for my new addiction.

Seemingly bad time to jump into the hobby, sad to say.

Yeah, that's what I hear about the market in general. Between sales at places like Monkey Depot and Bad Cat, and eBay and trading with others, I've done okay with expanding
my collection in a short period of time, though.

There's always BBI and FOrces of Valor...
Well, at least there's always FOV anyway, and hopefully BBI.
And hey, 21st could surprise everyone and do limited things, or go to the cheaper "base model" of making mostly figures. I still maintain it was their insistance to do so many larger items in somewhat rapid succession that hurt them the most, without building a cheap-to-produce base line of figures as their "bread and butter" that would help fuel the odd plane/armor piece once or twice a year...
I think it's only safe to say Dragon is 100% done with 1:18.

In the same boat as you being new here but Ive done well 1/18-wise.
I started with:
1. F4U
1. Blackhawk
1. Kiowa
1. Little Bird
1. Panther
1. Broken Jeep
1. Broken Kubel
Now I have:
1. P51
1. Me109
1. TBF
1. P40
1. Me262
1. Tiger
2. SDKFZ 251 (Stukafuz/Pioneer)
2. US 1/2 Tracks
1. M4A1 Sherman 21c
1. M3A3 Sherman BBi
1. Gate Jeep
1. Dodge 1.5 Ton
1. Flak88
On the way
1. Cheap R/C Panzer IV knockoff
1. Gate Jeep
1. F18
1. P47
Ebay'd off some of my 1/6th scale stuff to get it and spent many a day eating PBJ and top ramen but oh well I've had fun
Also having been around the 1/6th thing since the beginning I can tell you to never count 21c out so Im holding out hope we may still see more things from them in the future.
