great news that it's easily backdatable to vietnam! :)


Here are the dimesnions of the real beast, if you want to measure the model and see if it's 1/18 or not.

Length 191.5" >>>>> 10.6 inches in 1/18
Width 105.75" >>>>> 5.8 inches in 1/18
Height 86.5" >>>>>> 4.8 inches in 1/18

some excellent comments in this thread so far. This is one of those issues where there is no easy answer. Seems that some sort of compromise between sensitivity and censorship is needed. It will no doubt always be a grey area...

It's not that simple, Mr. Football, i wish it was as lord knows i am passionate about this hobby. Reading the story says that it was an 80 year old man and a former concentration camp inmate that saw the figures and was upset by them. These people went through something that was far, far, far, far w...

does anyone have one of these that can confirm it is indeed plastic and not partially diecast?

i was watching the business report yesterday and it was again mentioned that TRU is seriously thinking of selling off its toy division, probably to a bulk distributor type firm. TRU shares were up on the news, which is a bad sign if you don't want this to happen. Interestingly, TRU in Canada will be...

I heard about this very briefly on the local news here in Toronto but didn't know what figures they were referring to. I figured they were dragon 1/6 figures, not Plan B 6 inchers. Hopefully, being that this is in canada and basically a local news story, the ripple through affect will have little or...

i wonder why it's not diecast like the recent Motorworks tank reissues? Didn't we see at the Feb Toy Fair an all silver M113 which we assumed meant that it would be diecast. I wonder if there is some diecast but because the APC is smaller than the tiger and sherman it just feels lighter and thus doe...

well first off they wouldn't be in the same scheme. The E has the sand and spinich finish (sand with dark green splotches) and an F or G would be in overall sand. It looks quite different, believe me. Besides they are two very different aircraft both in appearance and in ability. There are lots of d...

i think a desert version is 100% guaranteed to follow at some point. A VERY obvious repaint given that there were early G's in North Africa and that the F and G are very similar in appearance.

And we all know how 21c loves their repaints. :)

failing that you can try the traders forum, maybe you have something that's available in europe that can be traded over here for a winter tiger. Also, try ebay, they should be getting cheap on there. Shipping could be a bit high as this thing is diecast and noticably heavier than the earlier version...

hmm.....not bad. Not my top pick for a paint scheme but as i will probably be getting several of these it's nice to have variety. Shouldn't be too hard to back date this G to an F model if a desert scheme one comes out (which i suspect it will....Jochim Marsielle anyone?.....(yeah i know i spelled i...

Personally i just don't see the appeal of a fantasy military line. If it was even based on real designs that just never did/will never see the light of day then at least that would hold some interest. I can sit around all day designing fantastic looking tanks, guns, planes etc that have no practical...

Paging all M113 experts: From the pictures you've seen of the 21c M113 (at toy shows etc), is it more accurate as a Vietnam era M113 or a modern day M113 and what major differences would their be between the two?

Holy Cow!! I had no idea these would be out so soon! What colour, how many figures? Pictures if possible please.

it wasn't shown at the Feb. toy show either and except for a brief scare, is still planned, as far as we know. The new 109G wasn't shown either and i have no doubt it's coming soon.

i don't want them to do it: a) cause i think it's gong to bomb and thereby have the exact opposite effect that you described ie they will lose money and make less 1/18 stuff as a result. b) because i feel it will detract from their efforts to make more 1/18 wwii and modern stuff.
