Bad Cat Aviation's call for support, for the new,
All Go Toys (aka 21st Century Toys)... "Good Morning Everyone! What an absolutely thrilling week we had! The new Algo/21st Century line of 1:32 airplanes arrived on Thursday. It's been nearly five lonnnnngggg years since we've seen the kind of old-fashioned excitement we experienced late this week. The packing stations were full of outgoing boxes, the warehouse became delightully messy, and the telephones started ringing! We talked with old friends we hadn't spoken to in years, like Mike, Dana, Steve, and many, many others. That's the wonder of airplanes, they bring people together. The 1:32 scale P-51 Shangri La and Red 19 Fw-190, are a big hit. But we have an important mission still to accomplish guys. I've had several meetings with Algo/21st Century's owner and one thing is apparent-- Future releases depend on the success of these first two airplanes. If these two 1:32 birds sell quickly, more 1:32 planes, as well as 1:18 projects are waiting in the wings. Fledgling Algo (run by the founder of the former 21st Century Toys) needs our full support if we are ever to see the large variety of aircraft and tanks once provided by 21st Century Toys, again. Even if you don't collect 1:32 or already have these planes, please do the collecting community a HUGE FAVOR by purchasing a couple of these airplanes. As a extra boxed set, a Christmas gift, greasing-up the boss, a Red Cross or church raffle donation . . . you get the idea. I'm really, really excited after talking to Algo about future projects but all the talk is a moot point if these trial balloons don't soar like eagles. Please help us out here, guys!! Bad Cat is doing our part in this equation by offering FREE USA SHIPPING for all orders over $50. A 1:32 Fw-190 and a P-51 purchased together meets this standard. Coupon Code BADCAT5 will take another 5% off the top with no sales tax except in California. We hope all our readers can help make this happen, too! Thanks for reading and Blue Skies 'Cat" Toll Free 1-888-848-4690 Mon-Fri 10am to 4pm Pacific Item # 21-13315s6 Item # 21-13314s2 Fw-190 A-8 Red 19 1:32 Algo/21st 13314 S2 IN STOCK P-51B Shangri La 1:32 AlGo/21st 13315 S6 IN STOCK Last edited by Tuskegee Joe; 08-29-2011 at 08:12 PM.. |

In a nutshell, 1:18 military toys will come, if these two 1:32 planes sell. So spread the word!

Why can't we just get 1:18 military scaled toys? *throws flailing tantrum on the floor*

Meh, 1:32 scale. It's a shame that 1:18 scale gets no love but the price is just too high for the casual collector. Hell, the new F 16 is about $160 and not a lot of people are jumping on it. Sadly, they rather have 5+ Sky Strikers. It's quantity over quality. *punches dog*
I do hope that they at least sell well to fund other projects. I'd like to see some 1:18 stuff come out in the next few years. Just won't hold my breath. |

If they do any modern 1:32 aircraft, like a CH-47 or a C-130, I'd be very interested.

1/32 can take off if they release jets. The 1/32 Phantom proto 21st had looked really good. Pretty ripe opportunity.

Sorry, but I'm not gonna buy a Chevrolet Volt in the vain hope they'll produce a steel body, LS3-powered '57 Bel Air. Quote:

Yup, its likely repaints. What the letter tries to say, though, is that if this slow churn (of smaller planes + maybe bigger 1:18 repaints) can get a quick little push; it may help Algo's wheels turn faster. They've been stalled for almost half-a-decade. Yet All Go's wheels none-the-less, are turning, with official product finally in e-tailer hands. Bad Cat is helping the push, with their letter of support, and a discount (code) + free shipping. I agree, its not much. None-the-less, Algo's wheels are turning...
