Post Gemini Jets
Sorry if this has been discussed before but why do airplane diecast companies such as Gemini Jets stop making certain aircraft? Example: I've been looking for a UPS MD-11, an Air Tran 717-200 without Elton John's face on it, and a Continental Airlines 737-800. Do they not make them anymore? Why? Thanks.

...... just because you are in the inside, doing lunch & drinks with the owners, does not mean you have to come up with such snob reply.

GJ produces a certain model and then that's it. Re-releases have not occurred to date although there have been a few "very similar" releases. As for those you mentioned above try eBay or a posting in the Model Trade are your best bet.

They don't re-release, they put it in an airportpack.
