21st century first series

Post by bigriver » Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:22 pm

Do you think they will ever come back.It was in my opinion the best series and wish I held on to them.I would love for the halftracks and tiger 1 to be available again. Does anyone know if another company bought them and will re-release?

The fate of the 32x aircraft and armor moulds is somewhat of a mystery. No one is sure of what happened to them and we have gotten no word from any company (like JSI) about them being produced again.

I will agree with you that the first series 32x vehicles were good, but 21c did improve over time to the point that some of their last armor releases (Marders & Hetzer) were some of their best. I have all the S1 vehicles with the SDK 222, M-18 and M-5 being my ultimate favorites. The others are great as well.

The first series 32x aircraft, however, are a different story.

not for awhile.

We would prob see new BBI or AT 1/32 before recast of 21st show up

which is surprising considering how many ebay shops in SE Asia are selling counterfeit 1/35 resin stuff(Like Verlinden figure sets) You think someone would realize the market for the 1/32 planes

Esp at some of the prices they are selling at now.

Yeah like Tman said those first releases of 21C aircraft are a different story.

I only have 1 (Flying Undertaker) P-51D with the battleship sized rivets. I can't get myself to buy any more of those first Mustang releases. Especially because of the prices they are commanding on ebay for an inferior tooling. Unlike the later P-51B/C and P-51D with new tooling.

I bought a lot of the Cold Steel 32X armor at Walmart though in the dark green boxes. I always thought the paint apps and details to be very nicely done.

Were those the S1 vehicles or were there earlier 1/32 releases when they were only available at Toys R Us?
If so I have missed a few of them then.
I didn't buy any of the 1/32 armor or aircraft when they first came out at TRU.
I was a 1/6 collector still then, and gradually started buying 1/18, then 1/32. I was shrinking you could say. :)
