I had heard some time ago C3 had a "good" licensing agreement with FDNY.I guess that plus the repaints makes it easy for them to produce FDNY models.

Don - you "just" lost interest in Code 3? You held out longer than most... LOL

Seriously, I hope JDunk's right about next year but I won't be holding my breath after the parade of FDNY trucks.

Why pay $60 ($70+ with shipping) for a new FDNY, when you can pick up a past model on ebay for $25, then use $0.10 of NANPR and redecal from a sheet that costs around ten bucks? Plus quality control has really gone down hill the last few years.

So why buy a repainted FDNY (and take a chance on a poor QC model from their Red China factory), when you can redecal for a couple of bucks, and twenty minutes work?

If you go to the other site.
If you get some news on future releases of C3 TWH etc... you post it. Larry will delete it and warm you that's privilage information.

That is the most logical explanation and it makes sense as well.

I also agree it is better to buy a previously released replica... the bonus being the quality is better than what they are putting out now.

Point well made regarding re-decaling for what you want. This new stuff just isn't cutting the mustard. ...and that is really a shame.
