Small Scale Military Headquarters

Received word today from a friend that JSI will issue 250 special editon f-14's. planes will come with additional equipment and features. he said more details to follow soon!

I hope this is true.

I know I won't get one of the special editions, but I support this idea.

I think it will be a nice piece for the collectors who really have been the backbone of lobbying for the plane and having a few rare planes seems to generate interest in future aircraft / models.

Depending on the price,I would be in for one of these.

You thought a Blue Angels F-18 was expensive.

Wait a couple of years,and see what these would go for.

he forwarded the email to my office. ill pass along some more info once i read it

Please let me know ! it's been one year since i discovered the F 14 project ( it was then named KAWAI TOY !) since then i can't wait to have this model and my biggest desappointement was the lack of pilot ... now i am very excited by this news !!!

I've red somwher else that JSI was able to fulfill personnal orders for customs F 14 ? i can't remember on wich toy/ GI joe forum ?

Please let us know

Talk about info that wasn't to be released for a few more weeks. I know what is special about this edition and must say it is unlike ANYTHING bbi or 21C did.

so .... ???????

this supens is killing me !

Will it be unveiled by Martin Sheen or James Farentino?

I am glad I hadn't dropped my $225 on one yet. Guess I will wait just a little bit longer to try to get one of these.

Limited Edition JSI F-14? Sounds expensive........ I'm struggling to afford the regular release, count me out . Unless of course it comes with a free 1/18 scale P-39. Then I'm in.

i hate all that dont tell anybody crap! big deal doesnt affect anything. they want the buzz out there. people talk and it only helps them. took a look at the note doesnt say anything about keeping it on the down low. just 250 pieces will be made and suggested retail will be 280.00. the f-14 is over sold in pre sale and they wont be doing another run. so i wouldnt count on many of these special planes being available. atleast not at that 280 price.
badcat will probably buy a bunch and sell them as private reserve for 800 bucks!

I can belive that!

....I'm guessing your own personal name on the side of the cockpit?

Or pilots....then watch the ensuing firestorm

Greetings

I mean this in all seriousness, if it were an Iranian version, I'd buy it.

That'd be very unique and an interesting piece

Corey

yes iranian would be neat or ...

I am kind of thinking Top Gun...

The Iranian schemes would look great, though still inaccurate for the mold.

I'm thinking one of the later A model Bombcats

Hi Gang!

We can confirm this latest JSI info and the $280 MSRP American Grenadier announced.

These pieces were to go (did go?) to Hobby shows showcasing JSI & Merit. We and other retailers have been offered these pieces at a much higher price which in turn costs the consumer more as well.

I'm sure more info on what exactly the differences will be will come soon eneough...and with photos.

Cheers and 'early' Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

maybe the special edition feature is that it won't have spots all over it..

Someone registered and let the cat out of the bag. They have a really good contact because that goes beyond my knowledge. Read post #409:

OK i saw the post on the forum : http://forums.fighting118th.com/showthr ... 82&page=41

the post 409 says that you can order a special version with lighting in the cockpit + external !!!!!!

FOR 1600 US $ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


afetr seeing theses pics its seems true !


here is the lights of the cockpit !!! it seems awesome but at this price it's too much !!!!!!

Good catch on the pics. My dumbass saw the new ones and completely missed all the wires.

$1600 is way too much for me, but it is amazing they are offering factory customs to the public. A high-viz Sundowners would look purdy spiffy on a stand with the lights on.
