Are ESCI figures OOP or are these still in production? I found miniatures.de/esci.html which seems to indicate they are still in business but no NATO pilots are listed. I have a box of 12 MISW packages that I acquired almost by accident and I was cleaning out the miniatures and initially thought to just throw away (I have no plastic miniatures (and certainly none in 1/72nd) at all but a friend suggested EBay (which I have done but sold zip) because it supposedly is the "in thing" for some war gamers. RUMINT (RUMor INTelligence) source says they are not making toy soldiers any more. So – IN Production or Out Of Production? Are these not worth the trouble of selling? Trash? Goodwill trash? ( I suspect they will just trash them as they do most "not new" garments.) |

Esci are long gone, but Italeri bought most of their moulds. I've not seen this set under the Italeri brand though. [Edit.] Scratch that, one quick Google later…. link |

Okay. Thanks, both of you. Italeri… Off to Dom's and rvandusen's Links. |

€ 8.40 incl tax is about $9.40 USD! OMG, sticker shock! LOL, I guess that is not a bad price for that many (48) figures… About 20 cents per figure. |
