Any chance of a 21C store like before? Specifically, any chance of seeing something like the 2-pack of Vietnam drivers?Ī. Was the release of the M-41/Halftrack/Hannomog/Humvee at Walmart a one-time occurance, or will we see something again where a bunch of random vehicles show up at Walmart again?Ī. I think it will happen but I just don't know when or what it will look like. I sure hope so! It is a favorite of mine personally. Will the Kubelwagen show up again in 1/18?Ī. Yes for sure! see the latest article on AREA-21 (posted today). Any figure repaints we can look forward to showing up?Ī. I am guessing that the ground crew figs will be part of the draw to the Legends line. at least at first! Besides there are too many other things that I would see them doing first. Any chase of the ground crew figures showing up on cardbacks?Ī. Not that I am aware of but you never know. Will there be more 1/18 RC Tanks in '06?Ī. The timing of christmas should be a good help though. Hopefully! That is the plan but it really is up to the buyer and I doubt they have checked up on the sales yet to evaluate it's success. Will we being seeing any more 21C at Toys R Us beyond the Marauders?Ī. Is there a time coming soon where you can tell us what future jet releases are planned? It'd be interesting to know, especially if its a plane that no other company has done before in 1/18. But was this toy line meant for the late teen-adult age group? They appear to be pretty durable, and we all know that some of us play with these things and recreate war scenes often.
Since BBI and now admiral toys are making ,more 1/18 jets, has this upped the ante and made 21st more aggressive in pursuing more different 1/18 jets to create(I hear the F-104 is "up there" as in being one of the best 1/18 jet toys)
Any chance? DId anyone on the design team want to work on this? Is there a chance that XD will make it back to TRU? With the F-4 still remaining popular and given the fact that there was such dissapointment amongst the fans since 21st decided to can it, is there a chance that 21st will give the F-4 another go?(I realize if made, it would be the biggest 1/18 bird made to date if not most expensive, but as you have seen here, more than enough of us are willing to pay the price). Mock up they made was so large so they viewed it as too expensive to tool. I think I read an interview at area 21 where 21st was thinking about making an F-4 but the At one point years back, there was a rumor of an A-4 skyhawk for the 1/6 scale line.īeing that the plane is smaller than the starfighter and fairly popular, was it ever planned for the 1/18 XD line? I will do my best to monitor this thread and get you a reply as soon as I can. On the seldom occasion you will find that I do have knowledge of various tidbits that are of some use so go ahead and ask away. aside from that I do have a couple phone calls and e-mails that occur in between the big events. My next time that I will spend time in the company with 21st is most likely going to be ToyFair in Feb. but you might have to get used to the answer of "I am not sure". I must state however that you will not see many "wait and see answers" as anything of substance is reported through AREA-21. Primarily as a good rule of thumb all news out from 21st occurs on AREA-21 however I realize the need for very detiled Q&A sessions are required for the hungry appetites on this board. War toys are fun to talk about debate and discuss. I have many friends here and I am glad we have this forum to serve as a fun distraction from the daily grind of Jobs, erands, and whatever serves as your reality.
Some of you know me and have even talked with me off-line. I have a good friendship with our Administrator P-51 who is kind enough to let me participate here. I remember the old days of TRU and the old groundpounders network. However I have accepted the post of serving as the AREA-21 Fan Club president which is owned by 21st Century Toys an operates through thier web site. So for those who don't already know me, please allow me to introduce myself as I provide a little background.Īs some of you already know I am not an employee of 21st Century Toys Inc. I have made the decision to create this thread in an effort to help ease the tension and hopefully put minds at ease.
