Small Scale Military Headquarters

Please help, I keep reading about 21st Century Toys release new items in the future. When are these items being release.
German SDKFZ 251/22 W PAK 40
MIG 21 FISHBED
B-25 MITCHELL
F-4 PHANTOM
88MM FLAK GUN
KINGTIGER
M-17 QUAD FIFTY TRAILER
M-3 SCOUT CAR
US PATROL BOAT (VIETNAM ERA)

1/32
M-551 SHERIDAN
LONGTOM 155MM HOWITZER
FIREFLY SHERMAN TANK

That's entirely up to 21c, but looking at the list you've posted, I'd have to say they're running about 50% to see anything announced to see actual release.

we havent even seen any pics of the B25.. all these
announcments from months ago and no pics.

funny when someone announces they are making something,
21st quickly comes out saying they are making it too!...
and then nothing.

The only thing they did was describe it like how big it is going to be you think they would at least show a building diagram or something. The bad thing is we get our hopes up and then nothing

Outside of some of the 21C figures, I don't think any of the companies have released anything new this year, only repaints. Sad part is the year is almost half gone..

Anyway I doubt you will ever see the M3 and VN Boat, so don't expect those at all..

Hehehe... it is fair to assume that these announcements are used in part as intimidation tactics.

Are you new to collecting XD, eagle_28752? I think everybody who's collecting XD for a few years knows by now:

- There aren't any release dates you can count on.
- Just because you have seen some pics of a new prototype doesn't mean this piece will ever be released.

These are just facts, doesn't mean I like it this way. I wish there would be release listes with dates you could count on and I wish getting infos from 21st would be a little easier.

Since when is anything released on schedule when it comes to 1:18th? Delays are a part of this industry and this hobby. They are not limited to 21C. The Hellcat was due Feb...it is now almost July. We all know about the AT repaints due 1st quarter '07...it is now almost 3rd quarter...

Mandalore, you say you want more info but then people complain when future items are announced way in advance. I really see this as the worst catch 22 for the companies and if we keep complaining we will get no info and there will be nothing to talk about except wishlists. On the one hand we want more info - what's coming, when, etc... On the other hand we are upset with delays, view announcements with skepticism, etc.. We really have to be more realistic about how things work in our very small 1:18 world..

It kills me to say it digger but I have to agree with you.
