They have no shame...as soon as they see people talking about the new pics they are on it...their list price looks like out of thin air..
They used to wait for possession or definitive dates b/f posting pre-orders but all that is out the window...September? We just started July; I smell a little CYA with that date...

digger,
Can you divulge what has happened in the past to make your posts so negative? I am not blasting you in any way, but just an observation, of late. I do not recall, in my year on this board, seeing your posts in such report. You have ALWAYS had excellent things to say; I look forward to seeing your posts, anyhow. Please PM me if you would like to "talk" on the QT.
Respectfully,
dV
doh..

I guess I need to put on a better face...surely don't want to always be bitching
My comments on BCA are based on their sense of entitlement..and the blind loyalty people have. I noticed a guy here in the tri-state area said he ordered all his planes from them - why? Their prices are high and they are on the west coast....I just don't get it.
On the Avenger we are quick to shame 21C for getting pushed around by WM but one time BCA is pushed around by 21C and somehow BCA is a victim. I will leave it at that...and will try to have more positive comments in general going forward.
Hate to think I am getting
that annoying...I think I need some new toys to play with.. when's Comic Con?:D

Very tempted to place an order and I trust the target date as it is indicated that these will ship (from China, I assume) at some point in August on the AT site. However, given that the plane is not even up for preorder at the AT site, I'll hold off for a little while...

Digger, I ordered the Stuka on sale, $43 shipped, and the Zero, $45+$8 shipping deal
Thats very good, at least I didnt see anything cheaper (Well I saw the Zero for $3 less, big whoop)
Did I hear that 21st Century was planning to make an ME-262, or am I going insane?

Notice BCA put up a little more information regarding the legitimacy of the preorder. They aparently are not simply putting up a preorder because they got new pictures - they have recieved the information to do so from Admiral Toys

What's up with the "convert your Avenger pre-order?" Looks to me like a good way to p!ss off a supplier. Great, after all this time waiting for the Avenger, we'll now get to see vendors and suppliers fighting with each other?

Those are good deals. I posted a sale on the Green Zero for $33. One member freed their mind and bought a couple. The Zero was $45 stock at Goodstuff and nobody made a peep. But I guess since it said "sale" it was a good deal.
And I'm not flaming...just wish people would share the wealth among the small retailers. As someone said, Militarytoyshop had the 262 pre-order for a month already but it's news when BCA says so I guess.
And Tman, I noticed they added that little bit about a teleconference (
)after this thread heated up...I guess they are still reading the board so I better be careful.
