Planes vs. Tanks

I collect both but prefer armor. They have released so many new planes (which is good), but we need to catch up on armor

Planes are too damn big. I have no room for an F-4, Skyraider or B-25. The Hellcat will probably be the last 1:18 plane I buy. I can still fit in a ton of armor however.

I went with Tanks. I think the 1/18th aircraft are great (got 17 of em) but its Ground Pounders I want. Uh.... that King Tiger..... hows it coming along?

Planes for me as well. I probably would buy more armor if they made more modern vehicles.

It looks like even money across the board. It does look on e-bay if you can count the sales that custom armor brings a higher money amount than custom planes. So could it be that armor may be more sought after by the mases than aircraft? Hmmmmm

I've always personally observed ground vehicles and figures move faster than planes... my personal experience, but I hit a LOT of stores locally.

Figures should be the line's mainstay, and it seems to me 21st is taking that lead... I think the $20 pricepoint should be in a close runner-up for pegspace then (I'm talking all 1:18 here, not other scales) with pricier items like planes/armor coming in third. Fact is the lower the pricepoint the higher volume of sales, that's really a basis for most any toyline.

Figures were sort of the anchor at the start, then 21st seemed to drift from that... thankfully they seem to be righting the ship there though, at least. And personally I find that tanks and things move faster and restock more than planes, but that's just my experiences. I just never see planes get restocked routinely and I'd say every WM I visit has at least 3 planes that've been there for months or even over a year. Hell some of my WM's still have choppers hanging around they refuse to clearance.

I collect ground vehicles and figures only. I'm not interested in any planes. But I think the result of this poll is very suprising. I always thought planes would be much more sucessful than tanks.
