The word came out directly from the "horse's mouth" after Toy Fair that the A-10 is NOT going to be made anytime soon if ever. There is a conversation that is posted on another large scale collecting board that explaines it all. BUT ON A GOOD NOTE, there is a F-18 and F-16 coming up very soon. The F-18 is first with the F-16 to follow depending on the "reception " to an $80.00 "toy". I've seen pics of the F-18 and it really looks pretty good but you really can't make a judgement till you've layed hands on one. The reality is, do you have space for a 40" long airplane display? People that have seen it are really excited over the upcoming release. The F-18 is available for pre-order, I'll wait till I can lay hands on one.
