Personally targeting:

Viper
Mangusta
Comanche
Helix
Mi-8
Havoc
Sea Dragon
(Maybe more, depending on the 'mood for purchase' haha)

Hopefully the series survives through, am sure they're lots of collectors out there hoping for the same as well.

Viper! Will dash to go get it if it really arrives next month! Hopefully no repeat of the Apache unavailability problem.

Wow they must've restocked the Apache.I'd be tempted to grab an extra issue to if i see them How's the Huey btw? Well put together?

Btw, why grab extra issues you ask? Why to sell them at higher costs in the future ofcourse!
(Jokes aside, it will be nice at times to display more than one of an aircraft type in a mini 'squadron')

Just want to share a sighting:

Sunway Pyramid's Popular has loads of the Eurocopter Tiger in stock (almost 'hundreds').

Hope this helps those looking for it.

Is it me or is the Cobra missing a 'handle-grab' at the rear tail section where the holes are?

I had an extra part before lol. My Sea King came with 6 propellers instead of 5.

Finally, the Viper is here... Yeay!!!

Anyone contacted AllScript to confirm if the new issues are available for purchase already?

Anyone here want to group buy the Viper?

Wow only as free gift the AH-64A?? That's gonna be exclusive. Sharp eyes you have there, strikermarc!

Went to allscript today to get the Viper! Am impressed with the Viper, but it's a tail-sitter

Wingnut, did you go today at around 11am? Saw someone who sapu-ed alot of mags today when i went

Wow! I had the same problem with my set as well! I used sand paper to sand the hubs also, and it was quite an easy fix. Bro WingNut, trust me, it's really an easy fix, you just have to be gentle

You are right about the counter staff, they are indeed very courteous and soft-spoken. Dealt with a very nice Malay lady whom i failed to get her name tho.

I suppose it's a very proud thing to share and have a good laugh at the back of a screen... So what do i say then, congratulations?

Yup bros, definitely jelly seeing such copters Perhaps it took some persuasion, but the reply came alas. Anyone wondered why?

P.S: Was in jelly mode so much so that i went and check user's online status. Was funny to see the result.

(Not trying to offend any other users here who all collect the same thing as a hobby. Cheers!)

No la bro, not trying to offend anyone here. Cheers!

Currently using Ikea Detolf(s) which retails for about RM170 IIRC. Got mine during sale, went for RM120 IIRC.

The Detolf(s) themselves have gaps between the glass panels, so what i did was purchase those transparent 'door gap eliminator' sold at Daiso and attach them to the panels. It does not fully eliminate dust entry, but it does significantly reduce dust collection, so much so i only clean the insides once a year during Raya. (I do that for my 1:100 aircraft collection)

Fair warning tho if you've never used Detolf(s) before, they're pretty fragile and needs some fair reinforcement to avoid toppling over.

Detolf(s) are sold with four levels, but additional levels can be added which i've seen in another thread somewhere before, up to eight IIRC.

With my current configuration, i manage to display 6 helis per level, some on the stands, some not. Could be able to accomodate more if i really squeeze i feel.

Hope this helps.

Wow, your display solution is really a sight to behold! Placing all 17 helis on one level really has that squadron presence!

The Detolf is really fragile. It doesnt use tempered glass too unlike the Billy, so please be warned especially if there are kids around the house. No doubt the Billy bookcase is really appealing, but due to budget limitations, i opted for the Detolf. Also, i find that the Detolf has that 'display appeal' due to the all-glass surround as compared to the Billy. Ended up using my sole Billy as, well, a bookcase as it was intended

Well i think in terms of stability, both are more or less the same since i secure them to the wall using 'U' brackets. However, like you said, it's the all-glass construction that's worrying! As hobby budget allocations are almost always the least and the most 'sacrificeable' of all budgets, i ended up with Detolf(s) instead. Only ever bought one Billy, used it as a bookcase instead in the end since the other Detolf(s) line up more uniformly as a display unit

Oh really? Thought that it uses 'regular' glasses all along! Thanks for pointing it out

I believe they charge a factor of the price of item purchased, based on a certain distance. I think it's 7% or something like that, but i'm not too sure. Do consult Ikea or try their website to be sure.

Normally pick the detolf(s) back on my own. The package size can be found at the Ikea website if you want to be sure if it fits in your car.

If i'm honest, i feel that the Saga SV with the back seat folded down (if need be, even the front seats can go down to make more space) should be able to accomodate the Detolfs. Try measuring and see
