Word on the grapevine about 21st Century Toys 1:18 B-25 and F-4 have been pushed back into next year. Guess Wal-Mart hasn't committed to the order yet. > Word on the grapevine about 21st Century Toys 1:18 B-25 and F-4 have > been pushed back into next year. Guess Wal-Mart hasn't committed to > the order yet. > If you ever saw how slow those 1/18th scale models moved at WalMart, you'd know why. 21st Century doesn't even list WalMart as one of their distributors anymore: http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/buy.html In fact, they only list two retail distributors in all of New York City. Heading back to "Toys 'R' Us" was probably an automatic deal-breaker with WalMart: http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/area21/articles.asp?newsID=266 And something very interesting may be going on here: those Chinese companies that were manufacturing the models for them to distribute may have jumped ship and decided to go into business for themselves... ever heard of Blue Box Toys?: http://www.blueboxtoys.com/bluebox/aboutus/aboutus.htm They make 1/18th scale aircraft: http://www.blueboxtoys.com/bbi2005/ If I'm reading the stars right, I wouldn't be surprised if 21 Century is in financial trouble at the moment, and may fold fairly soon.

They do supply several very large retailers who specialize in diecast. They seem to just have a problem within their organization...peraonal egos. They produce a good product at a favorable price point. Hopefully they will get their collective acts together. > Yes, based in California. > The company is American, but the models are made in China.

I get all my 1/18 from badcataviation.com. Craig |
