This means the motor pool has them listed on their website marked for a 2009 release... :wink:

OK....so if I got this right, Admiral Toys made their announcement with attending prototype (next to the paint proto of the SBD and the A-1 proto). Very next thing we see is the proto of 21C's F-4 and their announced price point on the heels of AT. Did I get that right? Has anyone thought for just a moment how long it takes to design, modify, mull over, change, and then settle on the prototype's appearance.....and then cut molds, re-examine, re-shoot, and get approval? Guys, it sounds like to me there are alot of people who believe that you can rub a lamp, twitch your nose, turn around three times and VIOLA!!! Instant prototype...?!?!?

NAW! Just ain't possible....least not in my book. How about we look at it from a different perspective.....how about "Like minded people think alike"....and sometimes come up with the same conclussions. And since it's a snowball's chance in a furnace of ever seeing one......WHERE'S THE BEEF?
