Admiral Toys...Missing in Action?

It would seem to me that Admiral toys is done as well. No news, no new releases, no nothing! So much for the Dauntless, the Skyraider, the Mosquito, even Sabre repaints.

Plus, the only thing they have added to their website is a link to gaming.

Let's call in the dogs and put out the fire as this hunt is done!

It's hard to say. They didn't seem to implode like 21st Century did. The fact that they were still considering new product after problems with moving repaints like the German F-86 and the grey Me-262 suggest that those situations were not as bad at they could have been. I'm just speculating of course.

I suspect they are sitting out both the current harsh economic climate and the "wait it out for clearance" attitude that many consumers developed and that manufacturers will need to break by re-aligning production closer to real demand.

So, maybe we'll see Admiral back with limited editions of their Dauntless and other products when/if the economic climate improves?

So the Dauntless and the Mosquito is still a possibility to see the light of day in better times?

I get the hint, I'd better start saving early for it now

Due to space consideration (THE TOMCAT IS HUGE) Admiral should start the realease of the SKYRAIDER with folding wings....

It's good to know Admiral's Sopwith Camel (hopefully William Barker's Camel) and Mosquito are still a possibility.

This is great news.

I am willing to wait out the bad market!

I wonder how this affects my Dauntless order with MTS? Will my patients pay off?
