Does DeAgostini have any plans to pick up the F-14 Tomcat (Hachette Collections Japan)? Being relatively new to the partworks world, I'm not sure how all this works between the various companies. Does anyone know, if DeAgostini doesn't pick it up, how I can subscribe to it here in the US? I was blown away by all the animation on the Tomcat.

It won't be sold by DeAgostini and the only way you can get hold of this at the moment is via Japan, bearing in mind that it will also have Japanese instructions.
Hachette do not sell partworks in the USA and unlikely that Japan will ship to the US. But if you have a Japanese friend or relative then they could possibly get hold of it for you.

That looks cool, I'm not a great lover of the F-14 (prefer the F-18) but those working features do look amazing!!

@ Mr. T - Thanks for the information. I'm so in awe of the excellent models out there, and so disappointed that they either aren't offered in the US, or come to this country so far behind the release in other countries. Not sure why. But, I guess it is what it is. Thanks again.

I think they're doing a real run in Italy right now besides the Japanese run. So yeah, I'm guessing it'll get an actual run in the UK sometime in 2016 or 17. If the test pans out.
