Product brands that you have grown up with, but are now extinct(not in the limelight)

[Jun aka Pekto]

tandaan ko rin mga Tamiya, Hasegawa, Revell scale na yan Jun Meron pa ba ito ngayon? Tamiya parang meron pa e

They're all around still. 2 other Asian scale model companies have come into being: Dragon and Academy. I'm not sure if one of them took over Otaki's line. Either way, that spelled the end of its nice box art.

Tamiya used to be MRC-Tamiya. I think MRC denoted extra attention to detail. I think it's now MRC-Academy. But, I still prize Tamiya models. Hasegawa is also another excellent model company, probably even better than Tamiya. Their prices have tripled since the last time I remembered buying one.

I still have a bunch of scale models from the past that I have yet to assemble. Most are in NV. Here's a small stash here. Some of them are also "extinct" like that original Millenium Falcon from Return Of The Jedi.
