Ode to the I-20...
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 24, 2010 10:59 AM

"We Won't Get Fooled Again" also known as, "We Won't Pre-Order Again"

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our I-20's under our feet 
And the model that we worshiped will be gone
It was Lindberg who spurred us on
We sat in judgment of all its wrongs
But they turned a deaf ear and released it anyway 

I'll tip my hat to the new Hasegawa
Take a bow for the new Tamiya-WOW-A
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my air-brush and spray
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my bench and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again

Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the sub and that was all 
But the mold looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the box-art and ads, they're all lame

I'll tip my hat to the new Hasegawa
Take a bow for the new Tamiya-WOW-A
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Get my toy sub and play 
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my bench and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move my hopes and my anticipation to the side
If we happen to be left to decide
I'll get all my refs and smile at the sky
For I know that the manufacturers never lie

Do ya?


There's nothing on the shelves
Looks any different to me
And the re-boxings are placed, by-the-bye
And the hull its too wide 
And now the hatches are too high
And the lines waiting for a decent sub have grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new Hasegawa
Take a bow for the new Tamiya-WOW-A
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Sit in the bathtub and play 
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my bench and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new kit
Same as the old kit

I just looked at Lindberg's website and they are showing the I-20 like it is in production. 

The good news is there is no longer any sign of the ill-fated 1/144 Arizona!
