Merit FW-190A news/updates?

[mountian-man]

It's been quiet, hopefully this thread will inspire the release of some new information!

[Beeavision]

Last I heard they were preparing it for production. Merit expects to release it sometime in September.

"Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-... That's all, folks."

Something tells me we won't be hearing anything new on either FW-190A nor the AV-8B until early next year. There is an International Toy Fair scheduled in New York city on February 16-19. Merit will be there at booth #5455. I expect that's probably when we'll hear more news from them on the progress and possible release dates.

The 190 was going to be a bright star in our 1/18th world this year.

But it will be another black hole

OK, I've had some intel from the distributor that supplies my local Hobbytown USA store. This was supposed to be a secret for another week or so, but I couldn't wait to tell... Brought to you by Merit and JSI - the FW-190-D9 Set for release first quarter 2014!



See, we were getting something new









All for fun!! OK, how many of you had a heart attack!

Read the fine print, guys.

[EnemyAce]

Fine print is too fine and it's not April 1!

[Mitch]

LOL - Got me!

[tmanthegreat]

Well, got some reactions If they were to make the D9 and make it look that good, I might consider it

Oh, that is nice!

I bought FW-190D just long enough to have that emotional sinking feeling and a few explicatives run through my head.

Sigh, 1/18 scale angst.
