Thumbs down

I will not buy anything unless I have a chance to view the item first-hand.

Once again you are a bit "premature" on this. Let's see them first!

Yo fellas, remember that GJ has stated that everything is the same except for the name. The models are gonna be made to GJ's standards and not the other way around.

After reading the explanation from GJ/SJ, I think it is fair for us to give them a chance. It is a good move for them as far as penetrating the European market is concerned. How it affects us, I don't see much except that now, we'll probably have to shell out more money since we'll be buying 2 sets of new releases instead of 1.

Give 'em a chance folks, change can be for the better, lets not forget.

I don't know. So far I have these:

Schuco Radiant 5600 Viscount - Swissair
Schuco Radiant 5600 Viscount - Pan American
(Multi-action battery operated plane)

Schuco Die cast Il-62 CSA w/box
Schuco Die cast DC-10 Pan American w/box
Schuco Lufthansa 747 tin/plastic wind-up re-painted
Schuco copy by Masudaya 747 Boeing house colors

Nutz Schuco copy Micro Jet wind-up die cast Skyray MIB
Nutz Schuco copy Micro Jet wind-up die cast F-84 MIB
Nutz Schuco copy Micro Jet wind-up die cast Magister MIB

I am not big on total realism so if I see them I may purchase one just to have an example, if they are not too spendy.
