Hello All,
Dragon has posted a link on its web site to images of its booth at the 2005 Nuremberg Toy Fair. Here's the URL in case you cant locate it:

I didn't see much in the way of new items in the pictures but they could be waiting for the American Toy Fair (opening this Sunday) to show its new lineup and announce any new products.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link Lightning..
I was wondering why they didn't really have much in the way of "New" stuff..

Looks like FOV is now in Dragon's crosshairs.

I appears they are releasing 1/72 Corairs of their own. They also have Super Hornets, hopefully from Iraqi Freedom.

The two that stick out are definately the Super Hornet and the Corsair, and the livery depicted on the spec sheet behind the F-14 shows a VF-84 Jolly Rogers CAG bird...that will be a popular one, I'm sure the guys from the sqd would love those as it's being retired very shortly. I really wish they'd venture in the pre '80s aircraft such as the Phantom (soo many repaint possibilities), F-105, A-4, and even one from the 60s that flew into the 90's, the venerable A-6 Intruder. I certainly think they'll have to shape up a bit if they want to keep pace with what FOV has in store for the smaller scale diecast market, should be interesting!

Actually what we really need is an A-10 Thunderbolt. A plane that has had a remarkable service record in both Iraq Wars and Afghanistan. A flying tank. I'm surprised nobody has done this mean bird.
