Do they still make the airplanes? I haven't seen anything new since the SPAD and the Fokker Dr.1 and that's been a long time ago.

I don't think so. I haven't seen any planes, tanks, nothing by me. And the stuff on ebay is getting expensive.

I haven't seen the planes in my area for several years. The armor was gone before that.

Matchbox announced in 2005 that they had no intention of continuing the line into 2006..

That was such great stuff. It brought a lot of people (including myself) into the hobby.
I'd love to see them pick it back up. They did a terrific job with it. Good value.

I agree on those being great planes. You can still find them on ebay or at some small retailers. They are what helped get me into 1:72 scale aircraft as well! Their quality was comparable to Corgi and even Dragon and the pilot figures in the cockpits were a nice touch! Matchbox really needs to re-establish the line
