I agree paul, if I paid retail for some of this stuff, I'd be pissed. Of course, the latest 2 have been retail or higher and they have known flaws. Are the Avenger's wings worse than the Hellcat's? I hate how you can see thru the gap. Atleast they work well, but I've heard and seen pics of the droopy Avenger wings. They are much too big to permanetly extend.
I paid $54 for ems, about $10 extra. I have horrible luck with getting stuck in customs. |

I'm not really opposed to the huey or the cobra, we still use them (the huey to a much lesser extent) and i could easily find a place for them in the collection, but i can easily pass if they are higher than 80 bucks.

Yeah it's unfortunate they'll be THAT high. I wouldn't mind picking them up for retail, but eh... not really all that interested to be honest. The Huey never really floated my boat either. I don't really like Vietnam as an era though.
I wouldn't be collecting near as much as i have now if this stuff wasn't on sale. Overall i like it, but if i had to pay full retail for some of this stuff i would burn some houses down. Most of the 21st Century crap has fallen apart as soon as i get it out of the box. You really have to see the pieces in order to sort the crap from the gems. I really want to add an admiral bird to the collection, but i don't want the same old garbage 21st century has already put out. |

I think 25th Joes are the difference in the market.

Yeah, 21st has done some shady cock blocking in the industry.

At least get the facts correct. 21C duplicated Admiral Toys. That is also a major reason why we have not seen anything in the last 2 and a half years apart from 21C's Flak 88 and Me-262 NightFighter. 21C had in a sense alianated and caused delays and cancelations on products like the F-4 from Admiral. Perhaps, we would have gotten it by now if 21C had tried to not be such a bully about their business. At least Admiral and BBi colaborate, whereas 21C would not speak with anyone.
As i mentioned yesterday, I'm glad 21st went out of business and they deserved to.

It's a real shame 25th anv figures were released just as the 1/18 heavy hitters were dying off. Hasbro should have struck earlier by releasing realistic troops in 25th style, based on the original 12in figures. This would have really blossomed the market for all parties.

I may be the only one, but i'd really like to see the 30th Anni Action Team set redone in the 25th style.
