21st Century Toys 1:18 Information Q&A (Area-21 Pres)

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:47 pm

Thanks for the answers TKO!

Do you know when there will be S3 Migs?
I really want an S3 Mig

Also, will there be an S4 Sabre soon? Any chance it will be from the Luftwaffe? I think the Sabre looks alot better in Luftwaffe camo.

Fire!... YES! there was a factory in china that 21st had that was burnt to the ground! I believe the Kubel mold was KIA. Not 100% sure on that intel, but it would make sense as to why we have only seen the first release. The fire happened a couple years ago or so.

Funny, I know of a WM that has at least 9 of them sitting on the shelf collecting dust!

Wow! whats the price?

Guys-

Yes there is going to be an S4 Sabre. In fact I know that 21st is pretty close to locking in on one of 2-3 schemes. You guys should be pleased when we see what is picked they all look good and will be a nice addition to the F-86 fleet!

S3 MiG should be out before the end of the year sometime. Details are still a little vague right now.

Thanks TKO, I am looking forward to the next F-86 release from 21st Century.

Hey tko,

Any word on the Victory Mustangs yet? I thought I read that you said you might hear something by the end of the week. I dont want to sound so pushy on this subject but I am getting a little impatient. I just want that Mustang so bad I can taste it.

Hi: I recently purchased the last 1/32 PzIII-L from my local Wal-Mart and upon taking it out of the package discovered that the third road wheel on the starboard side is mis-cast/twisted out of shape. What can we do to fix this problem? It really looks terrible. This is a cold steel DAK PzIII-L #23.
I tried to download the 21stC site but it simply will not download, it just sits working and working and working, but never downloading. Is there a srver problem?
Thank you

Are you using AOL? We have recently discovered that AOL accounts are having difficulty loading the 21st web site from time to time. I am looking into what needs to happen to correct it. At some point the web site will be overhauled. The last couple years have been spent really focusing on AREA-21 and re-engaging the fan base. So I think the plan is to take those lessons learned and develop an improved version of the site that is out there today. So I think better things are still to come. Could be an first of the year launch? Not certain yet.

I am using Safari 1.3. I'll try Firefox.

ltcbj · Post by **ltcbj** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 6:59 am

Firefox failed. Is there some other site I can backdoor or otherwise engage 21stC Toys through? This is more frustrating than getting the broken tank in the first place. Of course it isn't broken, it's mis-made....

TKO, any chance in hell 21st would consider doing a Sdkfz 250? Maybe something like this PaK 38 variant?

Also, would there likely be much interest in making a towed PaK 38? I figure they'd do pretty well.

Oh yeah! Armored Cars. We need armored cars too.

A great looking paint scheme for a very famous group.

Hi TKO211! You mentioned this in the "Whats new?" thread.

I know of 2 more aircraft in 1:18 scale from 21st however they are part of the 07 planning and at this time are considered top secret. You guys will get the scoop soon though.

Well, I think that says that all two new vehicles you already know of, are planes.
I was hoping for new armor in early 2007.

That means that all this Priest and Königstiger speculations were totally wrong?

MightyMustang · Post by **MightyMustang** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 7:26 pm

2 new aircraft for 2007? I really do hope one of them is an A-10. Why? Because the A-10 fans have been begging for one as much as I begged for a Hellcat. BBI came through for me and I hope maybe 21st will come through for them.

Thanks MightyMustang. As one of the avid A-10 fans here on the board I appreciate your support. It would be a true mouth dropper and a welcome sight if 21st or anybody was doing the A-10 in 1/18 scale. At this point I'm putting more hope in BBI or Admiral Toys coming through for us one day in the A-10 department.
