My chief complaint, coming From a retailer point of view is that everything is repetitive within a month or two. Last month AC came out with the AA retro liveries for the 321’s, now so does GJ, I didn’t order any with GJ. NG finally released the AC 320 last month, well GJ did the same one this...

You got that right

You are spot on Richard, it’s nice to have young blood in the hobby and it keeps it fresh and getting the younger generation involved, but there are quite a few young retailers that think it’s the get rich, or quick cash scheme. It’s not! As a retailer who owns a couple of businesses, and who...

Cutoff for retailer orders is today so I will guess shipping this week or early next week

I said the wheels, not the entire mold was retooled. There are plenty of models and manufacturers that have issues, with whatever they may be. We, or the public will always have a criticism of anything. Do I think AC could be better, yes, but in theory all could do better, as there are no...

I think so, they retooled the wheels and much better. We compared them against NG’s 320’s and AC’s are much better

It’s a Yu model, who uses Andrews mould and factory every once in awhile. if they have a release it’s sent with AC’s monthly shipment. It’s really nice

We have them up on our site

There seems to be a resurgence in folks wanting to buy in person, we are busier than ever in both of our businesses. It’s a huge step to operate an actual retail store versus running an online store out of a garage or basement, or whatever. Retail you are tied to the store and everything that...

We will see you in KC, we will bring a good mix of stuff like we did last year

It is a shame that there aren’t more, but it’s not a cheap venture to open and keep profitable in this day and age. I get it, but it is so nice to interact daily with folks instead of the once or a few times a year at conventions.

MTS has a big shop in Dayton Ohio. Jenn and Isiah are fantastic people. The are the US distributors for InFlight and have a large retail store. I believe in size they are the largest, with us right behind them in size. We have customers that are mega picky and will scrutinize to the smallest...

Buchair in NY doesn’t have a physical store and always has the latest AC releases. JetCollector doesn’t neither. Granted there isn’t a lot of online only that Andrew releases to, there also aren’t a lot of physical stores, in the US either, a handful in reality. The allure of a retail store...

My Ford Bronco is pretty close to that same color, so Andrew had his swatches and we were holding swatches and the plane up to the Bronco to compare colors and checking before he put it into production. It came out great!

We do have 1 AA 747 left, inventory was off by one, so it's available to order.
