It would seem not. If they can keep things together, it will bring hope to those who thought they had none.. :wink:

If the boobie-wagon is dead, then why the heck is it on their front page? The website's been down for how long now?

I can shed some light...

The site did go live again. All-Go had to switch servers and hosting stuff took longer to undo and then redo. The site indeed still has the info about passion wagon but I am told that will change soon.

Updated info about the P-51 Passion Wagon will explain some of the issues surrounding it being canceled. Other stuff too. It just came back on line this morning, I was involved in it's resurrection and should have more updates soon.

I don't know why they are shooting themselves in the foot regarding search engine ranking.

Do a google search for all go toys and you probably won't get anything from their site. You can even do a search for allgotoys.com and still get nothing.

Why?
Their current robots.txt file states:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
This code tells all search engines to get lost. So, no respectable search engine is going to index them.

For reference on the robots exclusion protocol

Anyway, perplexing, why have a website at all if you don't want anyone to find it?

BTW, All Go! Toys can give me a nice discount on a King Tiger for the website tip.

the site looks pretty but it has a ton of dead image links. I don't know why they have bots off i saw that in the source code myself because i couldnt figure why they didn't come up in google. its like they don't want people to know they exist.

seriously I think it is messed up that they disappear and use a broken information chain at best. they should be talking to us themselves not TKO, but again they don't even talk to the retailers so what are we to expect right? All go needs to man up and be involved with their community and see what makes us tick use polls whatever to get info.

which leads me to my next question where are they getting there marketing info from? i don't remember seeing any threads of them asking us what we want? And I doubt they can afford a marketing firm to find out since there is all of this talk of money problems. I mean how do they know what is going to be soft or not, I am just saying they should be on forums like these and try to find something that everyone wants like the A-10, huey slick or something else. It does not take a rocket scientist to guess the Passion wagon would not be the best idea since there are already a ton of P-51s out there. they need to either make a new tooling/modify an existing one or pull out something that was rare that people want. i bet a super cobra re-deco would get more sales than the passion wagon tho.

anyway it doesn't matter because unless they make a vietnam or later product i am alienated from it all anyway i chose awhile back to go down the path of modern stuff, I cant afford nor do i have the space beyond that in NYC. I wish BBI would wake up and make a hind or osprey... or while i am fantasizing a stiker...oh well I am screwed.

...bit harsh dude.
Seems to me they ran with what they had (the p-51). Would've been a financial shot to the head if they borrowed money to build a completely new mould of say, an A10. Least the P51 was (hopefully) just a shot in the foot. They also made a difficult decision in not going ahead with the PW after seeing the quality of the first ones. Maybe the P51 will make a return as a revamped model (better undercarriage?) later on down the line.
I know we all got fed up with, well.....pretty much everything, from the Phantom no show to the mosquito (or maybe crickets). If your really into modern, go 1/35 and save yourself some money getting exactly the stuff you want. I've started buying 1/18th balsa kits and plans because of the sparce and expensive offerings at the moment. Don't wait for the 1/18th companies cos your just going to get disappointed and disillusioned.

I actually think they have the A-10 i know they had a prototype. I was not trying to be harsh i was just asking real questions. I work in advertising and community is important especially when thats all you got.

Believe me, they are hearing...they just may not be listening. It's tough to come out with something new right out of the chute when moulds and design don't exist; it takes a huge amount of money. JSI did the same thing, The formula in this business is one of "release old stuff to gain capital to build new stuff". Now, I have voiced my 2 cents to All Go with a formula of 1 new model per year and 2 or 3 previously release models/new paint scheme per year. I know others have done the same, but it is ultimately their decision on whether they want to be successful or flop around on the shore like a dying fish. We'll see what happens, but last I heard, there were things in the works. Can't say anymore than that. Best wishes! :D

if they did do a 1/18 king tiger i would get one probably more i didnt realize how good it looked and it would make for a great cobra battle tank to against my 3 Abrams.

so what are the options to get a king tiger i have found tamiya 1/16 but they vary from 350 -500 USD which i think might be out of my price range at the moment. Does anyone know of cheaper option that is close to 1/18 scale? or is all go and JSI the last hope?
