Where is the friggin Spitfire?
Where is the friggin Spitfire? I am feeling very impatient as it has been a month since my last new 1/32 addition. I know I am jonesing when the new FOV re-paint starts looking interesting.
1/18 only guys, start envy now.

I think we will see something soon, or atleast after the Olympics as it seems the Chinese have reallocated much of their factory priorities to making Olympic souvenoirs.

you 1/32 guys aren't immune to the economy and general slow down in the toy biz. It's been over a month since you even had any 1/32 updates from 21c.
Get used to it fellows..
The nice thing about 1/18 is that they are so big and spectacular that each purchase is satisfying for months. The little stuff is like drinking a can of jolt cola....a couple hours later the buzz wears off and you want more, more, more....

Re: Where is the friggin Spitfire?
Hopefully they are on their way to the western states first, but as usualy I have my doubts. I'm sick and tired of these new planes, etc. showing up in the midwest and eastern parts of the country first, along with all the other 1:18 goodies. They seem to get stuck there and never go anywhere else for months on end... Heck, even the small retailers get the new items before the Wal Marts & TRUs on this end of the country do!olifant wrote:Where is the friggin Spitfire?
Its time we in the west got our due

Tman I can see your point...
But that being said, I live in the greater Philadelphia area and I have only seen (2) of the new planes:
FW-190 F-8 "White 7"
P-51 "Mrs. Bonnie".
That's it...
We've been innudated with "Mrs. Bonnie" for the past few months with no end in sight. Out of frustration, I bought a 2nd one to make a custom paintscheme... not sure which one as of yet.
Anyway, TRU lost my business and I feel that WM is close behind.

Tman, distribution is a weird bird. Of course you and I are much closer to the western ports than the east but my guess is they go via rail to some warehouse in Ohio before returning via truckload to us. Go figure.
I am to the point now with WM that if I see anything even remotely interesting I grab all I can. I know that doesn't help the next guy but I would rather help our brothers on the forum out by sharing new releases than the assumed local collector.
I am still waiting for more FW-190s up here. We only got the red nines and I only saw them twice. Luckily I was able to ship three off to fellow collectors.
