I've been waiting for this as well.

The JU52 with floats is also missing.

How many I buy will be based on the new pricing.

Your statement about the JU52 with floats made me think of another MIA model..............the Stuka with skis. Maybe this one isn't on there because it's a Flying Mule exclusive.

Great news, so far.

Hope their not going Anglocentric on us! (Yes, its a made up word! )

Does anyone know anything about 1/72 B17 "General Ike" still possibly being released?

I thought that was canceled by Corgi way back.

[Gambit]

Unfortunately it was cancelled just before last Christmas

Anouther casualty was the Flight Line Heinkel w/figures

[mapleflag]

A most impressive list, how many of these are new dies though? My hope was that Hornby would breathe new life into Corgi rather than just massage that poor little dog. C'mon guys I feel like I'm watching this poochtake its last breath!

[ChairmanMilo]

Diecast aficionados have been saying that the pooch is dyin' for years. I say give Hornby a bit of time before we give up altogether.

I don't figure that Corgi will ever regain the market niche that it lost to the other smaller (but growing) companies, but it can definitely stimulate their competition & generate a great deal of buzz with new releases... let's hope that Hornby has that in mind.

[Gambit]

There were probably some that were half finished at the factory.

For now, probably the only thing you'll see different is a Hornby sticker on the box
