Eh, I got into it because it sorta ran with Star Wars' scale well enough. There's still BBI and Forces of Valor so I'm not "done" per se.
21st isn't dead either, just nobody knows what's up. Monkey Depot got tons, and tons of 21st gear dropped to them for a song it seems... The SS sets we thought were a fluke, but then they clearanced what appears to be their own old stock, then planes and stuff, and then all of a sudden the new Panther tank repaint showed up for $25, and now the 88 which has barely been out any ammount of time (newest thing 21st's made for a while).
The 88 kinda seals that 21st is either fading out totally, or they're scaling back and dumping all their stock. Their 1:32 line did well, their 1:18 figures did well... Really their armor did well too but their airplanes came too fast to retail with repaint after repaint, and I think that hurt them tremendously. Most of this stuff fetches a pretty great price on the secondary market too, so I'm really considering selling all my tanks and going 1:16 for tanks only since they pair up with the figures and support items (cannons, halftracks, trucks, etc.) pretty well.
FOV still make figures for Target, and BBI still is putting out new stuff sparingly. I'd be totally ok with just having figures to buy, actually. The planes take up too much space, and the armor's fun but like I said above... I'm probably phasing that out for some cash.
21st's figures are insane, so I hope they're still around to produce those... They were having trouble financially last year after having gotten themselves out of a big hole several years ago. Toys always take a hit in these times and I think 21st took a knock-out punch maybe.
The real bummer is their 88 is probably their best, most detailed piece ever... It's a great way to go out I guess, but it leaves you wondering what they could've done in the future. When the online retailers all had the 88 at $80 though, I wouldn't bite. I'm sorry but it's nice but not that big to warrant an $80 price. That's just retarded to me... I think if 21st set that price, they set themselves and the etailers that bought them up for a fall because that's double what tanks used to cost, and tanks are bigger...
Either way, I got 2 88's ordered, so I am very hopeful my 88's go through soon and ship to me because I'm geeked to get 2 of them for the $80 it would've cost me (before shipping) just for one of them a month ago.
