Small Scale Military Headquarters

just received email from Allgo and the Passion Wagen is cancelled.
they have refunded my deposit.
not good news for the 1/18 collector

What a surprise ! Bye bye King tiger. So AllGo is gone.

i emailed back and asked on thier situation

I feel for you guys that wanted a King Tiger.

Can't say I'm suprised in the least. What's the next 1/18th vapourware?

Well at least that is 2 or 3 more prototypes they can try to sell on Ebay.

i think they should have started with something small something that would get bought in bulk like a jeep or even a couple of new modular figures that came with multiple heads or something to make custom squads. i think 1/18 vehicles are tricky and take time to move and it seems like they need things to move fast to build capital. oh well.

i would think a 1/32 plane like the second spitfire or another P-51 like double nothin
these soldout in just a couple weeks

that would also work.

No Jagdpanther then either....

Dang! And I made room for that OD Mustang too.

i just looked up ALL-GO! on google.
there website wasn't even their.

there website isn't even working...just like it hasn't been for many weeks now.

i wasnt very excited to get the PW but i was hopeful that it was a move in a positive direction!

with BBI announcing no releses at all for 2010 and no one else to fill 21C big shoes its just a bad day for 1/18 collectors

Didn't work for me either (as of an hour ago)

Hate it for all of us 1/18th collectors...Yet another setback.

yeah what is up with BBI i don't get that one. I wish they would redeco the F-16 and F-18 maybe with different weapons loadouts. they have just gone in a different direction all together it seems.

well, badcat said he new of 3 new 1/18 toolings coming this year. Unless they were all from All Go (doubtful) then there is still hope. There is also PH"s hinting of a Komet coming.

And All Go isnt officially dead. TKO gave us an update several days ago and as of then the PW was pretty much dead but All Go wasn't. So have faith. They may just have to go dormant again for a while....but they seem determined to make a go of it in 1/18 at some point.

With 1/18 now it is better to not even read or hear of anything in the works as only disappointment follows. The last big release was the F-14 and that was an adventure. The only thing coming out is Grunts work, PH and skyworks all custom sfuff and expensive. 1/18 scale is going down the tubes.

Andrew, what was the update from TKO......I've been on vacation for a week. No net, it was great but I was thinking about our hobby.

Oh and whats the deal with the Me-163 Komet? I saw PH's post but no details...on who is going to make it.

as i recall TKO just said PW was probably a no go but All Go was still in business and he would try to get more details.

I'm glad I resisted the idea of selling my Mato 1/16 KT in the hopes of getting a AG 1/18 KT. Guess, it's time to graduate the KT from the floor to an official spot on my shelves.

Maybe even think about moving my 1/18 vehicles to the upper shelves (dead items) and moving 1/16 tanks and 1/16 Jeep down to eye level (more important spots of honor) and say goodbye to 1/18.

Too bad.

TTT

Does anyone know what the web address for AllGo is?

SmallJoes pushed the release date to August.

In any case, I'm keeping my preorder until such a time that SmallJoes cancels it. I'm good for a PW, and to be honest, if they need to wait a year or two, I doubt my interest in the plane will wane.

Disappointing news, but its not the end of the world. I'm still optimistic.

With each passing month I feel the future of 1/18th just fading away into the sunset without any probability of a re-awakining.
