Admiral Toys

Post by Prdbyford1 » Wed Nov 11, 2009 6:11 pm

Hi all, got a newbie here. Just getting into this scale aircraft to go along with my car collection. Was just curious if anyone knew (sorry if this has been discussed already) if Admiral Toys has gone under. I just got one of their Sabres on ebay and it came without the hardware and worse, without the horizontal stabilizers. I would prefer not to give it up, but is it possible to get parts from Admiral if they are still in business? Or anybody have any spares laying around? lol Thanks in advance.

As best as anyone knows they're doing other things until the economic storm is over, or at least much improved.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I seem to recall not immediately finding those items when I bought mine. They were kind of hidden on the outer edge of one side of the styrofoam packing material. 50/50 chance of immediately finding them or not seeing them at all.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. Jason promptly replied to my post here and sent out the missing parts. The problem now is that Jason doesn't seem to visit here much anymore. Or is he does, he doesn't participate in many discussions. I'm sure if you can reach Jason he will take care of you. Hopefully someone here knows how to reach him because he has always seemed like a good person to deal with.

Try heading over to collector's access.

That was Admiral Toys native stomping grounds for awhile. You might have to clear the cobwebs away though.

Hahahaha, you'd be surprised at how much dough there is in gaming. I might just have to find a place of my own, seeing that I'll soon be retired. I can sit back and drink coronas while cashing in and all I have to do is pay the rent!

Looks like they were jumping on the gun announcing plans for new planes earlier. Shame, just another wishlist.
