This sounds great!! :D I will join for sure, even though I joined years back, but I guess that membership is no good. This is as good for them as it is for us. This way they have contact with us and we have contact with them. A direct relationship instead of hoping they would see what we want. Maybe a new official message board will be next?

Daily updates!!! YES!! :!: Not only do we get a new site, but we will have an up-to-date source of information.

This part jumped out at me:
....in an effort to reconnect with its most loyal and discriminating customers
"Reconnect." They know they drifted away from us, and are trying to make it right.

Digger, you are absolutely right, this is great for the hobby. 21st is coming back, and coming back with a vengeance! They did great things in the past, and if they continue improving, they will make great things again.

Count me in! 21st would be smart to coordinate their efforts with this board - or at least put a link to it on their site. I found out about the origional GP board through 21st!

I'll bet we get our first news on the Avenger and F-104 on Monday. It seems a logical first post for the fan club.

Yeah, to see a photo of the actual XD Avenger would really get my blood flowing! I can't wait!!!!

I used to collect their 1/6th products all the time. I hope this means they are back on their feet. My fingers are crossed...

I have my fingers crossed for the best! If they let us down this time again, there's really no excuse.

Sounds like 21C is getting their stuff together! This is great news, considering the rumors going around last year this time. I can't wait to sign up and see what will be available in the near future.

Wow!! I hope this works out for us.

I joined their fan club in October 2000 when the first XD hit the shelves. I was excited about these new products. I bought one of each in one shopping trip and signed up. I received only one newsletter from.

Maybe with these site they will pay attention to us and what we'd like to see. There's 200+ members here. We can flood them with our new memberships.

BTW. GP's old link is on their site and not this one. They should put this one there so other people (no Audie Murphys) can come here and get excited about this stuff like we are.

I'm going to sign up again.

Wow! Didn't realize that the 21st site had that resource page, and they certainly need to update the link to our site. The "Unofficial Ultimate Soldier Fan Site" had links to BCA, The Toy Federation, and BigBoysWarToys as well.

This is great news BUT hopefully they will update us on whats going on with the 1/18th Avenger and their much talked about new tool 1/18th P-51D.
