As you all know by now, Merit International was at the San Diego Comic Con 2009, showing off the JSI 1:18 scale F-14 that everyone is anxious for.
But Merit also brought the rest of the current JSI lineup to SDCC as well. They had the P-38, Corsair and Tiger I tank for sale at their booth (#4929!). When I went by today they did not have the P-38 or the Tiger out on display, which was a little disappointing as I have never seen them “in person” yet.
Merit also had the “new” JSI 1:18 scale figure line on sale and on display boxed as well. The new boxes look nice, if a bit larger than necessary. I didn’t get the opportunity yet to see them loose, but they seem to be replicas of 21st Century Toys earlier figures. Legend’s Toys & Hobbies (the retail part of the booth) was charging $8 a figure at the show.
The rest of the products for sale were at normal retail price.
The paint on the Corsair is worth the extra cash. Now I just need to find out what my wife did with my cash.
