Re: So, what's next for Carousel 1?

If Carousel 1 do hike their prices, which I think is highly unlikely, then they'll not be able to survive in the market for long - their models are already at a premium price point ...

It may be more likely that these are the last few that Badcats have instock and if they can't get any more, they may be marking the remaining ones at a premium.. I just don't see any purpose in marking them so high..

Re: So, what's next for Carousel 1?

I just checked Apollo's site... all the models are still $69.95. If C1 did an official hike, it would first show up at Apollo. BadCats price hike makes no sense to me. You are right, Harry, someone there is smoking crack. Makes me suspect even more that blog posting.

And the weird thing is, all of Carousel's line on Badcats is priced similarly.. I guess they are wanting to keep their stuff for a while to come..

Yeah, I just looked at Bad Cats site: both Nieuport 11s, the two recent Dr.1s, two P-40s, two 109s, and one Dora... all listed for $100.00, then marked down to $84.99. Go figure. They're smokin' crack there, Harry.

An F4U Corsair would be awesome, and so would a Hawker Typhoon or Tempest!
