Those brands produce models to much higher standards now than before. Can´t wait to see what Hornby does with Corgi!!!

The Hornby locomotives definitely have a high degree of detail, maybe some of this will be extended to the Corgi line. I did not know that they had picked up the Lima line of trains. I stick with Marklin myself.

I haven't either, parsig......'course, I hadn't been aware of diecast aircraft either untill I happened to stumble upon a few Corgi Legends at a local hardware store, looked up Corgi's website, found MH I, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Wal Mart has a fair selection of Corgi Batman cars.

Ooohh .... Oohhh .... oooohh . . .

I know it's premature, but just had a Hornby/Corgi combo diecast fantasy pop into my head!

1/72 scale diorama => late 1944 German (Hornby) locomotives in northern European railstation being hit with missiles by (Corgi) P-47 Thunderbolts and/or Hawker Typhoons!

OOOOHHHH . . . I'm droolin' . . .

I'll hope Corgi made better model that the last they made,and raise the level of detail to the HM and CW benchmark,I'v been bought some corgi model but since HM and CW come on the market .....the corgy model look like toy!
I'll really hope corgi make a response to the new concurrence and give us some models at the level of CW and the diversity and level of HM.

I would also like to see some improvement in the Corgi line, but lets not forget they do have some really fine pieces. Hard to find alot of fault with their Swordfish, Gladiators and Wellingtons to name a few.

It's right for these planes I agree but I would like to see this level on ALL corgi products specially jet.
