It is a ratings war!! It has begun

What the heck has happened to the model industy?????

It seems no company is on anyones bad list now.

One thing for sure about these latest and upcoming releases : GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!!!!!!

When you think you have your "BEST" model yet in your collection you check on the net and then you say "$*!T how I am going to afford that??" I just spent $$$$$ on these.

What gets me is how quickly the sell out. 2000 releases may not do it anymore!!! 500 certainly isn't.
I have to figure out which ones I want for fleet building and which ones I have to have in my collection. A new baby on the way doesn't help either.

Who do you think will "win" the hearts of the collectors this quater??

Right now for me it is GJ as they are releasing awesome MACS and the latest Dc9, and 737 run. THe USAIR stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. SMA is right up there but they do not do volume like GJ so they are in a different league as with Aero CLassics.

DW is looking good esp with the news of the P3 Orion! YEAH BABY!!

Getting a little tired of the AWACS stuff though. Actually I haven't bought any of those. Not crazy about 707's and COnnies.

Herpa is just kinda hanging around.

But if you do not like ANY of the new and up coming releases by any of these companies........... YOU GOT A PROBBBBBBBBLEM!!!!!

Hell with the Rj's and Props! These babies are keeping me content

One question though....... Is a C-5 Galaxy on its way???

Have a good one all!

Tom

Braniff Jellybean, 9 different colors to choose from. They should go very nicely with the upcoming Jet-x Braniff Space Shuttle 9-pack, not to mention the Electras, BAC One-Elevens, etc.

With more collectors collecting every year, we need plenty more than only 500 releases. Too many collectors, too little releases. If you don't buy now, before they sell out, good luck getting that model!

Richie you are forgetting the only 3 made chrome C5 Braniff model that will go for about $800 retail and $1500 on Ebay.

But seriously they are starting with Braniff Blue and it will available with 10 different serial numbers.

Than after all the jelly beans we may see one in USAF camo!

What is the big deal with Braniff? If I wanted 9 of the same plane in different colors I would buy some spray paint and get started in the garage. They are boring and unexciting. America West "teamwork", now that is a livery with some talent worth buying.
