So, I don't know if you noticed this little quote on the Admiral website or not:

"This product will be in stock on Thursday 31 May, 2007." That is for both the CL-13 and White 7.

Hopefully by June it will be in our hands. Jason, care to comment?

Jason,

thanks for the sign of life... We have missed hearing from you, even though I suspect that I and many others here understand the reasons why. Hope all is well and everything is progressing smoothly...

I agree with you FieroDude, but I wished Jason would talk, if not about products then anything else will do.

Oh. it's not so bad. We know that Jason is checking in, so all is well.

If you note, I just asked him to confirm that the Hartmann Sabre and White 7 will be stateside by the end of the month. He did just that. He also confirmed that the Dauntless is still on track for Aug/Sept release and that the A-10 will be ready by Christmas.

That is not funny you know there is no A-10 from AT , thats a sick joke.

Hi Jason,

I am under a bit of stress at the present, which pushed me into some really strange dreams last night...some good, some bad--but with a realism that I found myself wondering this morning what was real and what is not.

Unfortunately, one of the thoughts I was having was about your company. January/February was a very happy time for all of us on this board with a lot of interaction with you and an obvious bright outlook on the future. Understandably, lately things have been quiet (which, don't take me wrong, I have no problem with). However, stuff has been circulating recently about uncertainty with some of your products, and I guess it is worrying me a little.

Brass Tacks: Is business for you guys continuing on whatever pace you see fit (once again, doesn't really matter to me what projects you may have in the pipeline or not)? You have been completely honest, to a fault, with everyone and I will be a customer for life for whatever planes you may produce, I just would like to know if we are in the midst of some sort of reconsideration?

For everyone else: Please do not read too much into my ramblings. I am just trying to ask a polite question, based on uneasiness on my part.

I sure hope the Admiral team is not abandoning the 1:18 line.

Jason, could you chime in and let us fans know if the Admiral team is on heading and on course?

No details are necessary. Just let us know your still at the wheel and that 1:18 is not dead.

New News from Admiral Toys

I Just got of the phone with James Foringer of Admiral Toys and he said that the F-4 and the A-1 are still going to be made. Hurray!!!!!!

The me-262-white 7 will be here in about 4 weeks
The CL-13 "Hartmann" should be here in about 8 weeks
The reason for the delay is because Admiral toys has a new manufacturing plant……which is great news in itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I, too, had heard the rumor that AT was moving out to a bigger pasture. I think it is great that they have been able to do it. Maybe it is a sign that they are gearing up to play big.

Well it no longer a rumor, it's a fact.

Great news on the A-1! I'd bet that it'll be a 2008 release at this point.

Great news!!! Thanks!!! This answers my concerns that 21c bought all the production capacity available so they can now also stock the Dollar Stores.

Ladies and Gents,

I am back on the clock. I must say that our vacation was much needed and that my wife and I are not looking forward to the rat race we all call work. Yes, I make toys for a living. Sounds like the dream job…. Let me tell you that it is anything but a dream, more like a nightmare. Commute 8,000 miles to your job site… it was fun the first couple of times, not so much these days. And before I hear a response about… “make them in the US and you would not have to travel 8,000 miles…” You wouldn’t want to pay for the models if they were made in the US. You already complain about the prices.

I am going to review three weeks of the board's chatter, formulate a response to each and every question, decide which response to share, and post my opinions in a couple of days…. I have news of new offerings, distribution, moves and forecasts. But I am not sure if I am indecisive on whether to tell the complete story.

Regards,
Jason

Good to see you back Jason, hope your vacation was restful as we all know it was well deserved.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say I look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks.

Welcome back!

Spoken like a true lawyer!!!

Welcome back to the fray...it's always a bummer to restart the gears after a vacation!

Welcome back Jason, I look forward to hear your news.

Welcome back. I sympathize with the vacation, though I just started. June, July, & August are why I became a teacher

I look forward to hearing the details that you are comfortable sharing. And if you are planning to do the Dayton Airshow this year---my steak dinner offer is still good.
