If I were to get one, I'd probably sell my F-16 or F-18 to offset the cost. However, it doesn't appear likely for now. :wink:

One (ideally low vis). Will probably wait and watch until a deal comes up.

One maybe two, I always get the first issue of any item but I may get another if a scheme comes out I really like such as a high visibility item.

I will easily buy 2 if it's the VF-84 and VF-103 scheme. All the money saved from buying WWII planes should cover it.

Kind of iffy if I'm going to buy the first release if it's not the schemes I mentioned above.

It depends. At least one, obviously. I'd like an early and a late Tomcat -- the later one from OEF. But if there's an F-15 coming up behind, I might run out of room, and I've got a pretty big space for my toys ...

Perhaps we should wait until it's available and listed price point before we decide how many we are gonna buy.

I ,for one, plan on throwing ridiculous amounts of money JSI's way. I would absolutely have to have a minimum of 3 f-14's to go along with the 3 f-18's I already have. Oh boy, oh boy. I can't wait!

I would buy one for sure and perhaps a second. Due to cost and size no. 2 would be a tough one to justify.

Does this thing have a firm release date? Has anyone even seen a mock up? I hate to be the naysayer but just because a company announces a planned piece and some e-tailers have a note up on their site does not guarantee a plane in my manclave. :?

I know Jason from Admiral has seen the prototype in person but has been mum about it. His comments about the jet were positive though.
