OH MY. The Tiger I has the the zimmerit. The Panther has skirts.
I dunno how I'm going to pay bills this summer.
If they release the KT, or god willing, some of those mystery figures we've been hearing about... I'll go ahead and file chapter 11 tomorrow, haha.
I looked at the trap, Ray.

Sherman product specs state 'detailed engine'. Maybe a mistake, or maybe a re-tooling?

the sherman pictured is the bbi sherman with a calliope. I wonder if they bought the molds or if JSI is an offshoot of BBI. That explains why they said 'detailed engine'.

If JSI is an offshoot of BBI that explains a lot. I remember Mike telling me once that one of BBI's factories was used by 21c to make many of their products. It also explains Jason's enigmatic comment of a few months ago that bbi was coming out with something soon that we'd all be very excited about.....in fact i remember thinking the mystery 1/18 F-14 on preorder at that japanese etailer was possibly made by bbi.

As it turns out it's JSI, but it's quite probable they are an offshoot of bbi.

If so, then we know what kind of quality to expect.....which is very good quality, paint, rugged design etc.

Very good.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

Don't hold yourself back, open one set and preserve the other! I opened mines very carefully from the card using a swiss army knife to slowly peel off where the plastic blister connects with the cardboard to avoid the paper being ripped past the glued lines, this is a great way to preserve the packaging. 8)

I bought the whole set loose with all the buildings, a German Halftrack and some other Germans and Americans for around $150 about two years ago.

I still don't have the complete set of Fallshirmjagers carded. I'm missing two of the Privates.

This is good news now we know that they will produce figures I only hope the JSI will get the rest of 21st molds.

I also heard this from someone at 21st Century at NY Toy Fair some years ago.
