does anyone have any prepro pics or even any pics at all?????

Nope... Scrounger... This one is certainly being played very closely to the USA Corgi chest... Hmmm. Does make yer wonder what they are uptoo? :rolleyes:

[BSteinIPMS]

Here's the only pic I've seen anywhere of this model: the official Corgi box art.

[scrounger]

mmmm i dont think this is going to be ready for march, do you????

[condor]

According to Corgi USA the release date for "Guns ago go" is 30/04 :(



Condor

[scrounger]

mmm. thanks for that condor. its just a waiting game now i guess. we'll see

[Agent X20]

Talking of pics, see one E Bayer has a head on Bit O Lace shot... looked blo*dy awful.....

[Aces-High]

Notice Tricatus hasnt any RAF Rescue Sea-Kings either. Wonder if he'd like my action shot of my Culdrose S/K low flying over mrs Aces bathtub? :D

[scrounger]

does anyone know an actual release date for this a/c?

one site says one thing the another something else!!!!!

is there any hope?

this isnt very good when you have to budget each month for the a/c you have bought and corgi dont release it when they say.

very upsetting :mad:

[Marky_ncl]

Still no confirmed news Im affraid. I can tell you its deffinatley not next week (W/E 1/4/05) as the only aviation releases next Friday are US ones:-

US51206 - Cobra Helicopter
US34013 - "Jerks Natural" Liberator

Here's hoping for maybe the next release after that!!!!

Mark

[scrounger]

poop.

corgi need to get their act together and stick to the planned released dates.

very inconvenient!!!!

[condor]

Corgi USA still have "Guns" down for 30/4 as the release date. There dates seem to be pretty accurate ;)

Condor

[scrounger]

well lets wait and see eh?

[planejunky]

Well I'm a bit pi*sed off now because if the planned release date of March had figured out, I could have got one here and bought it home with me next week. :( Still I did get the RAF Gulf War Chinook HC1. :)

[CFBC]

Hmmm. A BIT of a mystery this one...... Noting being said or released to confirm any dates as yet..... Will keep digging..... :rolleyes:

[scrounger]

yes please CFBC

it is a real mystery. perhaps theve forgotten about it

[scrounger]

well we are in april and still no confirmed pics of this one.

i am a little concerned that when i get this one, it will look poop!

however, i have faith in corgi, but at least let us see a picture of the pre pro, or are you having that many problems adjusting the tooling?

[scrounger]

still nothing and coming towardss the end of april.

has anyone anything to show yet????

[CFBC]

Nope... Nothing Scrounger... Ive been searching for any pics on this and nothing (over the past few weeks).... :(

[scrounger]

mmmmmm, very concerning, i'm sure you'll agree

[CFBC]

Hmm. Yep... I DO indeed, but it isn't the only Stateside items not to appear though as yet.. Not go get off topic, but will post elsewhere... :)

[scrounger]

this is driving me insane!!!!!!!

[scrounger]

have just been on corgi USA and they are now giving a revised released date of 30 august 2005.

oh dear corgi, what is going on in your sales and marketing department. obviously not very much.

very very very disappointed

[scrounger]

any more news on this release CFBC????????

[Typhoon-MKV]

According to the Corgi USA web site it is now the 30th October and they still only have the box artwork up for it.....

[CFBC]

any more news on this release CFBC????????

Sorry Scrounger I have no more news on this one... Seems to be pretty dead. We have now a good dialogue going with Corgi, so I may be able to find out some more information, but no promises.....

Typhie.... What you think?

[CFBC]

Scrounger,

Whilst at Corgi HQ I did ask Mr Corgi about the long awaited chinook "Guns a Go Go" which you asked me to ask about. Mr Corgi said that it should be with us within the next few weeks/month. The Chinook is manufactured, Mr Corgi confirmed that.

Hope that gives you a little more hope. :)

[shuttle]

So we await the awesome firepower and the paint to be applied to the Chinook and then the long voyage from China? I reckon the end of November!!!

:D Shuttle

[Agent X20]

Scuse.... not wishing to barge in... can we have the British Airways one first... thank you... :)

[kevjb64]

Scuse.... not wishing to barge in... can we have the British Airways one first... thank you... :)

Rumour is this one is a sell out ( well at least till the states send 98% of its stock / quota over here :rolleyes: ) !

[CFBC]

How rude... :D

Oh Shuttle.... Please... :rolleyes: (you could be right, but hope not).

Will have words and see if I we can try and acquire any pics? (note the try)

[shuttle]

Agent,

Now it makes sense. A Chinook production run has been completed for the BA and the 'Go Go' Chinook. I hope Corgi don't mess this one up and equip the BA version with miniguns!!! :eek:

:D Shuttle

[Agent X20]

Thats the customer complaints Chinook... :D.. upgrade.. suits you sir...

As to Guns a go go.. sorry we had all this with Chink 69 (after Tacon and Harriet... exclusive US only deals said CHC) being a limited limited chopper.. and what .......£13 BIN on the Bay......

... Sorry but leopards and spots here...

Apologies did not make meself clear , BA one sold out not guns .

[shuttle]

Agent,

I have one on order as I have read a lot about these awesome machines and they seem a very interesting subject. Not that bothered if it is a US 'special' etc. I might even get the BA one if it looks good....!

:) Shuttle

[Agent X20]

Apologies did not make meself clear , BA one sold out not guns . Am not blo*dy surprised... hope all bought them for $29.99 from the States...

Thats £15 and a big box..

...and only 1600 of the Chink's.....big nudge to Corgi to drop this tooling....as for the go-go, will probably go the same way.....

Pun very much intended. :D

[Agent X20]

Thing is old sport they gotta be looking at 1500 at least just to feed the potential dealer demand..

The real problem is they keep bringing out schemes for the US market ( chink , shu-shu etc . ) hoping to make an impact , they sell about 90 ( 67 sold to British clients via FM probably ) . Then ship the rest over here anyway to sell . They need to realize America apparently not that interested in their product , change marketing strategy accordingly ( no more silver stangs / blue corsairs would be a start ) .

[scrounger]

ordered my Chinny guns ages ago, just cause i like chinnys. not because its a yank.

hope the dealer still has my order!!!!!!

some pics would be nice CFBC if you have any

[kevjb64]

The general rule is ' Treat everything Corgi say as a LIE ' , its the only way not to be always disappointed . :(

Proving an elusive bird... this time next year they will be a tenner in the bins... :D ??

[maple 01]

Now on FM website

[planejunky]

Yep saw it there this morning, looks rather nice! :cool:

[CFBC]

Certainly looks nice indeed and with a Limited Edition quantity of 2100. Wonder how many we will see over here. Think this one will be heading to the CFBC Mansion collection. :D

[Agent X20]

As many as Chink 69's... ??:confused: You would think that the US market would snaffle them up..
