i quiver with anticipation...

Time to start the guessing games.

I really hope 1/18 armor gets first announcement. No offense to the AC and 1/32 guys but we're dying here..

You have to think the little 1:144 will be getting AC but I wonder about the other "emerging scale"? Cannot wait to see what's happening.

New armor this soon?

Be still thy heart. I want new......I don't care what it is, just a new vehicle....tank, truck, tracked anything.....I want, I want.....I'm gonna hold my breath until I get some new vehicle

I wonder about the other "emerging scale"

Probably 1/72

Unfortunately, 21C is such a latecomer to 1/72 that they may find the market saturated.

here you go mate. Just goto Area 21
http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/

Must admit though Would be very Nice to think 21st may set another precedent with a scale.
After all 21st Were the quickest to truely help breath life back into the 1/6th community in the 90s. Before BBI & DML came onto the scene.
21st truely outshined Hasbro`s efforts back then (even if the Mp5s were more like CLUBS....LOL). Add also 1/18th too 21st brough the Accurate Military side to this scale first as well

So who know`s 21st may just do it again

Still I want to see these new 21st 1/18th products

And about plane... a 1/18 F4 Phantom

On the aircraft side, I don't have my hopes too high. I think it will be an official word on the Me 262. Not that I am ungreatful, but I simply think it will be something we have heard rumored before. Who knows, though? It could be out of this workd astoundingly new and never spoken of before. As for the armor, my bet is on the KT. The figures line up could be very cool. I am hoping for Afrika Korps myself, as well as some Desert Rats to give them hell.

Here are my guesses.

1-1/48 scale modern/vintage fighter aircraft. This would make costs of creating an F-45, F-14, or A-10 with working features a lot less than a 1/18 scale toy, and also have a similar shelf presence to the 1/32 scale warbirds(if they were in scale the jets would dwarf them). They know we have been begging for jets.

2-1/72 scale armor AND helicopters.

digger · Post by **digger** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:08 am

They're not nec. "new" scales - just "emerging." I still say warbirds in 1:144. The other makes me wonder.

Morian Miner · Post by **Morian Miner** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:51 am

I'm with digger on 1:144. 21C has already started there with the little tanks, so I would expect them to expand their presence.

Figures is great news - wish it was Platoon, but doubt it. Armor could be cool, personally I hope its not another German tank (sorry guys, but how many do we have?)

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 11:28 am

Cant wait he he

It could be that Whittman Tiger, or the Koingstiger, and Mig-15, it could be anything...

How do I kill 2 days?

Morian Miner · Post by **Morian Miner** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 1:48 pm

Actually, the best news would be TRU or Target is going to start carrying their stuff! Great that new stuff is coming, but likely we'll still have the beastly Walmart distribution to deal with.

I am working with Roy right now to determine the right time for each piece of news. (yes there is a system to this madness) All I can say on the subject for now is that some of the items were obvious next steps that will be widely received and generally a great addition to the main line. While others will delight and exite fans like the news for 1:18 armor / ground pieces. (I did not expect some of the directions that we will see.) I really do not wan to set expectations too far one way or another. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. There are some cool things in store and if something doesn't make your personal wish list, remember there are plenty more years and plenty more subjects that will be tackled by 21st. For now enjoy this wealth of news that is in store.

Threetoughtrucks · Post by **Threetoughtrucks** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 3:09 pm

Oh, I have it. The new news is about the new class. Planes in 1/288. Great news, you can collect 100 and put them in a drawer.

That really is great news can't wait to see what 21st century come up with especially in the way of Figs and the armour/ground pieces that sounds very interresting in particular!!!!! I know everyone is hoping for world war II but i would love 21st century to give some modern stuff a go. A modern truck and new figures would be very nice and another option for us modern collectors. If No such luck i'll still be hunting down the new figs!

I'm with you on the ground pieces! I really want that PAK 40 in 1:18!!!!

Post by **aferguson** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:23 pm

yes the term 'ground pieces' does sound like we are going to finally get some artillery. And the plural on pieces sounds like more than one. Maybe a pak and a 105mm or an 88 and a 105?

Let's wait and see...

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:28 pm

I won't speculate on the 1:18 ground pieces, but I can be certain the Avenger, F-86, Mig-15 and quite possibly the ME-262 will be announced as they are slated for release in the next few months. The 32x stuff will certainly include the Stuka and M-7 Priest. As for the new 1:18 figures??
