Ty-114 $500 on eBay

A Tupolev · 10-21-2007, 11:42 PM

A die cast 1/250 Ty-114 sold on eBay today for $500. My max bid was $230.

I'm very frustrated my bid did not get me my dream die-cast plane. There sems to be a market for this die-cast plane. Why don't more manufactuers release this plane if there is such a high demand?

Wow, that's a beauty....and 34 bids too.

Agent X20 · 10-22-2007, 06:48 AM

Nice one .. and it should be 1/200..... they did two versions Aeroflot and JAL Aeroflot... Nobbe has the latter, he promised he was sending it over to me for disposal.. never got here though.....

Nobbe · 10-22-2007, 08:21 AM

Agent, never count on a damn kraut!

Yes, it´s most likely the 1/200 Western TU 114.

All you have to do is to cut on those lap dances, shots of vodka and cigars and perhaps you can raise your bid to above $500 next time.

Agent X20 · 10-22-2007, 05:47 PM

Cut the guy some slack.. thats only 50% of his income..... the rest he wastes..

I can more then afford vodka, Cuban cigars, my women and thousands of dollars for toys each month. My concern is if a diecast toy is worth $500 or do I buy some new rims for my Acura or take one of my girlfriends on a shopping spree at Victoria's Secrets for some special favors (wink wink, you know what I mean).

OK so a choose the Teddy and fishnet stockings.

And yes did get the special favors.

true, that $500 toy probably cant pick up girls as well as a nicely done Acura can.

I agree! Good choice there...much better than the crappy Tu-114 model or any crappy Tupolev models for that matter.

I hope Andrew Klein is reading this.
Andrew, this would KILL in 1:400.
The ultimate prop machine! (Well, this and the An-22).
I know you could make those props counter-rotate.
And check out the paint-scheme on this 1:250 model - those are the exact colors I'm hoping you'll use!

I have sent many requests to Andrew for the Ty-114 in 1/400. A number of times Andrew has indicated he might release the Ty-114. So far he has not walked the talk.

Klink Is Working On It.
Give Him Some Time. He's Moved To A New Factory & Re-Training The Crews. Cut Him Some Fukking Slack.
The Delays On This Mould Due To The Issues Of The Old Factory.
I Know "The Old. ""New Factory Old, Factory Trick"" Again" But There It Is.
I Learned To Live With Just A Little Patience,
And What High Demand? 2 Idiots With More Money Than Brains?

Understand, but always good to keep the pressure on.

Think it's getting the contra-rotating props to turn correctly when you blow on them is causing the delay....mmmm

Brilliant Alias · 10-26-2007, 06:41 PM

It's VITAL that those beautiful props contra-rotate when I blow on them!

I like to see the props I blow on get hard and erect.
