These are all brand new moulds. Legacy Jets has nothing to do with JC Wings or their products.

Then it's only the artwork that looks exactly like JC's (later HX) erroneous tail shape for the 737NG.

Hopefully in the next few weeks! Models will be ready for shipping to collectors in roughly six weeks or so.

Lol I was thinking the same! But still, no one mentioned it here until today

I did in #110 without naming it. Herpa released their -232 in 2004.

I missed this but damn thats some good guessing!
RE: If it's got to be a N-registered -233 in colours of a US operator then I'm down to just one airframe unless I screwed the database query. A -232 sistership of this was released by Herpa many years ago.

What store are these available at? And I agree, $55-64 is very steep for a regional jet.

Yikes, thought that was going to be the pricepoint when they approached us, well good luck with that

This is great for US collectors - though unfortunately, like many exclusives, the pricing maybe a contentious factor
Also, as is claimed, this is new tooling - so needs to be seen how the end product turns out

Only through FAC. I’m hoping the base price before discount goes down.

They are available at Final Approach Collectibles. They are around $55 or so per model but that also includes free shipping that we always offer and each model comes with a stand as well.

I don't see them up on the site yet. Is there a discount coupon for purchases from the store? If so, I am tempted to pick up one of the ERJ-175s.

I will wait to see pictures of the ERJ before ordering. The fact that is made in the same facility as HX has me a little concerned that the tooling will closely resemble JC/GJs ERJ, which would not be a good thing. But if Legacy is developing a new model entirely, it could be awesome. Both the UA and AA are of huge interest to me, but I will wait for release pictures before pulling the trigger.
Also curious to see the final result of the A320. I really like the airlines chosen for the initial release. I will be a happy customer if the toolings are accurate, and not JC clones. The recent HX Korean 737 is almost identical to the JC tooling in all of the wrong ways, so I am hoping the 737-700 does not follow this same trajectory...

Wow. You guys are seriously whining about $55 for a 1:400 regional? That’s literally what these models cost today. If that shocks you, you haven’t bought anything in this hobby for the last decade. Plus, they’re including a stand and a collector’s card which I'm sure adds production costs.
And whoever this “Squatchys” retailer is, I find it pretty distasteful to be commenting on here and trying to hurt other retailer and manufactures.
Oh, and let’s not forget: Gemini just released a United ERJ-175 this past month for around $50 with no stand, no extras, and using an outdated mold. So if $55 for a modern release with added items bothers you, maybe the issue isn’t the price...

Legacy Jets has created a completely brand new mould for the 175s and releases. They also are ensuring the details are 100% accurate and have spent months working on these to appeal to all of us collectors.
I’ve personally been a collector for many years before opening our small family business being Final Approach Collectibles. I believe with my heart and soul everyone will not only enjoy these models but will see the hard work that’s gone into every detail. Either way, whether you purchase any or not. I just want to say I appreciate all of you for taking the time to look at the artwork, comment on the models and help support our small business. We’re always here to answer questions and help further our small community we have here in the diecast aviation model collecting field.

Hi my friend, they are up on the site under the Legacy Jets 1:400 Pre-Order tab. I’ll attach a link here. Thank you! https://www.finalapproachcollectibles.com/collections/legacy-jets-1-400-pre-orders

I have a few points to speak about related to this.
1. The GJ is usually 49$ USD. These are way above that.
2. Anyone can put a stand or collector card in a model, JC does this with the cards, and they are the same price, if not, less than GJ.
3. Squatchys is right, the pricing is way too high for an RJ… and not only that, it wasn’t “Hurting other manufacturers and retailers” It was a comment on pricing being high.
