Lufthansa, CX, BA, the three that seems most over done are also the most challenging for me to sell. But here is what is interesting. While I still have a few BB Lufthansa left in stock from last year, and not moving, I had a number of the Lufthansa GSE sets that sold out for more per unit than the planes did!
I would guess that a UK retailer is going to sell more BA than he is CX. A Hong Kong retailer is going to sell more CX than he is Alaska Air. I am going to sell more Alaska, United, NW, Delta, Continental, than I am BA or CX. I have sold more units of the Pan Am Concorde fantasy model than I have the recent CX.

CX 744s Are Actually Relatively Popular Here, But Not A Priority. Seeing The 742 Never Flew To YYZ In The New Colors, I Can't See Too Many Being Sold. The Majority Of Collectors Here Buy What They See Or Service At The Airport.
But You're Right, These Would Be An Instant Sellout In Most Asian Destinations.
