I ordered both the Lunar Module and Lunar Rover in mid October, glad I did, because they are both now "sold out" (joining the rest of the Air & Space line), according to Code 3's web site. |

Looks like the Alan Shepard Moon Shot and the Apollo Astronaut as well as the Mars Rover are all sold out. |

Why did Code 3 stop selling their space items? And more important, any chance they'll re-issue some of the more popular ones (especially the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo capsules)? The Code 3 website still indicates that they're selling space-related models, but that no longer seems to be the case. The astronaut and LM models were okay, but the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo models were absolutely outstanding. |

The last time I spoke with my contacts at Code 3, which was about a year ago, they had decided to not go further with their National Air and Space Museum series of models. While recent after-market sales have been strong, the retail market was slow, or at least slower than they had projected/anticipated. There was discussion in early 2006 that another company might license the rights to the M-G-A models (and possibly the Mars rover) to restart production, but there has been no further news in that regard. I suspect that we have seen all the Code 3 space models that we are going to see, which is unfortunate. I may get a chance to see representatives from Code 3 next month at the American International Toy Fair and if I do I will inquire, but at this time, to my knowledge, there are no plans to expand the series. |

Thanks for the info. Maybe the Code 3 decision-makers will see what's going on in the secondary market and re-think their decision. We can only hope. |
