(Rush, you were reading my mind again, weren't ya?)

Never mind those Skunky, what about all those Corgi Mustangs I saw stashed under your table?

[SKUNKY]

Oh that was my retirement fund, jim....

Its funny. Every year we state that next year can't get better than last year, its a golden age for collecting so enjoy it while you can....

Then we realize that next year really WILL be better. I love this hobby....

But what do you expect of a plane held together with string and cloth?

Jim, I ain't asking you or Skunky to FLY them, just COLLECT them!

[SKUNKY]

Ya know what, Cap...I do like the WW I stuff alright, but for some reason stick and fabric aircraft rendered in diecast metal just seemed a bit strange to me....Help me to get past that phobia,...perhaps you could send me a few examples of yours to "warm up to"?..

[Captain Eddie]

Well, my friend, the MP stuff REALLY looks like metal, but the Carousel and Matchbox don't, and based upon someone else's review of their Corgi WW I aircraft, I would guess they do not either.

As far as my sending you one of my Carousel, or "harder to find now" Matchbox, FORGETABOUTIT.
