I'm patient, have watched this project from the beginning and if you have any newly-unclaimed Hinds left, I'd be happy to pick one up.

Joe toys at mass retail are going to be those shit 5 POA 12" junktraps they package in bulk lots (Avengers, Spidershit, WTF-ever new damn Marvel movie is out this week) with impossible-to-find reissue 50th stuff (read what WOULD have been TRU exclusive but now ends up an some online dealer's...

As a kid, even though it's really 32 and not 18: my beloved Sky Striker - before Top Gun pissed me off at bad movies sandwiching beautiful ACM photography, Ace made me CRAVE being a Turkey driver. It didn't happen, but I did try. Now, my JSI F-14's are my faves, displayed with that same old Sky...

The helos look like they're finished now. Where the OH-1's were abundant last year with the odd Black Hawk and Z-9, without missiles but somehow still called "Missile Attack Chopper;" now it's all Humvees (much nicer than in the past though), T-98's, battle sets, amphibious wheeled vehicles, and...

It's a trick question. Hasbro doesn't stamp anything on their vehicles anymore. They have officially trademarked crap to the point that only Chap Mei would attempt to counterfeit them, but would probably end up making something better by accident.

Has anyone else seen the eBay listing for the custom SR-71 in Vegas? It may even be 1/6 scale. I don't remember.

Speaking of bizarre synchronicity, look and behold what BBI posted on Facebook half an hour ago in response to my request on the 5th for which 1/18 vehicles they plan on making: 2.5 Ton Cargo Truck F-18 FW-190 FW-190A German Kettenkrad German Schwimmwagon Kubelwagen Willy Jeep Zero A-10...

There are a couple of tech forums I'm on that have had that happen more than once. Don't take it personally. The alternative is a having a bunch of tiny-dicked administrators with god/inadequacy complexes who have enough income and free time to keep things running smoothly. Tossing the salad of...

Judging by the number of Tomcat re-runs that weren't supposed to have happened, it looks like JSI is just waiting on the US economy to improve before making anything new. BBI did a couple more runs of the supposedly limited Hornet, same for their Falcon. This stuff will never be at Walmart...

Pardon my newbieness, but what exactly was the Great Crush?

I have a special love for the M-113. During a blizzard here in 1993, all the roads were totally impassible and the power was out. The governor had called out the National Guard, so they took their M-113's and followed roads through several feet of snow in the mountains around where we lived...

Don't be hatin'!! The Skystriker is awesome for what it is, and for being a 1:32 scale plane with a 1:18 cockpit, it pulls it off quite well. The same can't be said for the PTE Hornet (blech) or Su-27 (blech blech). Anybody laughs at my Skystriker gonna have some hurt. :pirate:

I've seen you guys talking about Bar. He was working on a two seat conversion kit and some other improvements including cockpit avionics. I was his stateside source for test planes. I fell out of touch with him when I had some serious health issues and he has since disappeared. We were Facebook...

Forgot to mention: the US version I had also ships with only a pilot and gunner, no third crewman, and is missing two of the fence sections. I had two and sold them both and every one I saw was packed this way MIB. They went via eBay to Brazil.
