Google Merchant Center is an offshoot, an improved version of Google Base:

“Google Merchant Center is a new service that makes it easy to upload and manage the Product listings you want to appear in Google Product Search, AdWords, and other Google properties. Previously, you may have used Google Base to upload and manage Product listings. Google Base is still available for other types of structured content, but the Google Merchant Center provides a better, optimized experience specifically for merchants. The Merchant Center is where we’ll continue adding features and improving the tools for uploading and managing product listings”

Schemes to reinstate An-124 pro¬duction have been kicking around for a while but began to take shape with the emergence of UAC, which devised a business plan acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian governments. The resurgence in government aerospace and defense spending also played a crucial role.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recently approved a plan to restart production of an upgraded An-124 version at the Aviastar-SP plant in Ulyanovsk, under the responsibility of United Aircraft Corp. (UAC). Known as the An-124-500, it would feature a glass cockpit for four crewmembers and enhancements to the aircraft’s Motor Sich D18-T powerplant that would boost range and payload and double the aircraft’s operating life to 50,000 hr. Deliveries would begin by 2014-15.

Volga-Dnepr Group–which with UAC and the Antonov design bureau has led the fight to restart production–says the upgrade was recently validated by Russia’s Central Aerohydrodyamics Institute (TsAGI) and the State Research Institue of Civil Aviation. However, for the new plan to go forward, Moscow must agree to invest $500 million to retool the plant and refurbish the assembly line, and launch customers must come forward with firm commitments.

VolgaDnepr says it is ready to commit to 20 of the new An-124s during 2011-20 and another 20 during 2021-27.
According to the air cargo operator, studies show the outsize freight service market has grown 30% annually during the past five years, to more than $1.1 billion, and will reach $7 billion by 2030. Consulting company SH&E predicts this will translate into a need for 70 An-124s.

However, it is not yet clear if the defense ministry, which already has a long list of hardware purchases on its wish list, is interested in a new An-124 acquisition just now. The ministry may place higher priority on renovating the 24 An-124s currently listed in the Russian air force inventory, most of which require a major overhaul.

Model cars, airplanes, military vehicles and trains have probably been in every boys (and girls) toybox at some point.

These toys have flown under the radar for years but they are still out there.  Everything from model A cars to Boeing 757’s are ready for glue, paint and a lot of patience.  Not all models are difficult to build.  They offer every line of models in differing skill levels. Revell is and has been the industry leader in plastic model vehicles.  I pictured this diecast version as it is my favorite car of all time.  Diecast are hard metal and usually require nothing as its already put together and ready to be played with.  There are a myriad of sites on the net to buy diecast.  However I want to stress the fun factor involved in constructing the car from scratch.  A plastic version was purchased at the Hickory Hobby Lobby.   They have a wide selection of model of not only cars but all aforementioned vehicles.

This is a fabulous and relatively inexpensive hobby to begin your little one with.  Not only does it teach hand eye coordination, but due to the intense attention that needs to be paid it teaches patience too.  Not every plastic car will be the same.  Some may want to use the decals that come with the car, some may want to paint it purple with pink polka dots.  It doesn’t matter as your child’s only limits are his/her imagination.

This hobby also can aid in parental interaction other than tossing the remote.  The two of you could construct your model together which affords immeasurable bonding time.  If you have never pondered this activity, give your local Hobby Lobby or Micheal’s a visit and pick one up.  Who knows you may actually enjoy it too. If you turn out to like it and want a real challenge they offer hard skill levels for you to complete as well.  Think of this like putting together a puzzle, but when you are done you can actually play with it.

Parenting has been a major factor for Actionjetz – a brand by RBI Toys Motormax, to develop kid-friendly and parent-friendly diecast airplane toy models. The online virtual world for children encourages parent participation so they can interact with their kids online. The diecast airplane toys come with game cards that allow a child to access the online gaming world of Actionjetz.

The diecast model industry is now moving from the collector’s type, into the interactive sort to benefit people of all ages.

Die-cast aircraft models have been around for at least 80 years. While World War II models have ruled this business with an iron fist for many years, modern war birds are finally making their way to the forefront of prized collections, along with the long-time classic ones.

Corgi, the leader in die-cast models, has noticed the trend toward modern aircraft. Richard Walker, the company’s director of product development and sales, says that the company decided to push from their current rate of 10% of their products’ base being modern equipment to a target of between 20-25%.

Fellow retailer Steven Howland, the owner of Die-cast Airplane, has also noticed an increase in modern aircraft. “Part of what drives sales of collectible airplane models is a feeling of nostalgia,” Howland says. “There is more of that for WWII still. Certainly, the men and women serving in the military now are buying models of the planes they fly and work on. Modern jet fighters and helicopters will continue to grow in importance as these people retire and these planes become a part of their past.”

The die-cast airplane toy industry is increasingly a niche on demand. With more people getting assigned to wars and aviation, there are bigger chances of “saleability” in aircraft models. Now that collectors are leaning towards the modern die-cast airplanes and those that are classic and ‘long-standing’, this is the best time for airplane toy retailers to source out the newer, and in-trend die-cast airplanes to sell.
