No, not really.

Hasbro sells a large Falcon for $150 and they are the largest toy company. Thus a B-25 made by a smaller company could reach the $200 range depending on how much detail was put into it and the current price trends for 21c items (think the $80 Panther). At that price, only a few collectors would get the B-25, not the droves of customers 21c would need to come out financially ahead for such a large venture.

Besides, 21c obviously has other issues to tackle before something like that, including their QC problems, as well as supply and distribution of existing products.

The thing that really disgusts me about how we all predicted this when the announcements occurred, is how the 21c routinely assumed it would still fly. BTW where's the Dauntless, Spad, and the other Phantom?
