Small Scale Military Headquarters

I like the fancy camo barbecue in the center.

I've got my 1/6 German bike with sidecar up in the closet. Maybe I can shrink him down!

Is there a new Humvee coming out anytime soon, preferably with the armor shielded .50 mg mount?

I'm sorry but I can't say I'm too thrilled with what I've seen from this series so far. Hopefully they are saving the really good figures (DAK?) for last.

What did the Pony Express break down? Send them east already!

I hit the local Wallys again today hoping just maybe to get some new armor action. Well there seems to be no shortage on 1/32 single and dual armor packs, playsets and Zeroes. But as far as 1/18 there were a few vanilla hanomags and a couple spec ops jeeps. And also a few of the ever present Japanes...

Nothing at my WM today. Just a few vanilla Hanomags and some jeeps.

TRU had some modern BBI figs and a woodland Hummer that I'm going to sell on eBay so at least it wasn't a total waste.

Oooh nice trains. I love model railroading but just don't have the space.

If only those XD planes were instead PAKs and Hanomags and M16s stacked up in the WM toy department.

Glad to see you got that working DV! Sometimes my explanations get people even more confused!

I hear ya. Theres no way I'd pay that much for one. I'm waiting till they hit a WM near me or one of the online retailers has them closer to retail price.

This guy on eBay has a Pak-40 for $50 Buy it now price.

Too much for me but I figured I'd give heads up.

I fondly remember the GI Joe Battle Gear accessory packs when I was a kid in the 80's. They were carded and had weapons, helmets, backpacks, stands and other goodies. They were great since I would usually lose all my gear in the sandbox or the carpet.

XD packs like that would be sweeeet!

Same here, only jet I have ever seen is the Luftwaffe Starfighter.

According to the guy selling the new armor and Pak-40 for large amounts on eBay...

"WELCOME!! REZZED COLLECTABLES IS AN ****AUTHORIZED DEALER****FOR 21ST CENTURY'S ULTIMATE SOLDIER LINE."

Sweet work if you can find it I guess. Quite a mark-up.

Hit the nail on the head there Warhawker.

I agree that the distribution system is total crap. Other chains I shop at such as EB Games, Best Buy and Circuit City all allow you to check online if an item is in stock or not. But I guess the world's largest retailer can't be bothered with all that. :roll: And good luck asking a question at WM. ...

Shoot here in Ocala, Fl we never even had any p-47s and the only Avenger I saw was on clearence with an open box and a bunch of stuff missing. Besides the crap special ops jeep and RC M113, the only vehicles I've seen are the M3 halftrack which I bought and a few Hanomags. Luckily I tried TRU again ...

The figures themselves are great but the head sculpts are over the top. I know some other XD figs have odd expressions but the Japanese guys are in need of some clown makeup and floppy shoes.

I was lucky enough to get the whole set of BotB figs in one trip to WN. Snagged a few extras on later trips for head swaps and such.

Now all they have are a few Japanese figures rotting on the vine so to speak. I'm not suprised, they look like twisted McFarlane figures. Awful head sculpts.

Hmm, maybe I gotta drive to Atlanta. ...Na.

Lol well said.

Yeah I really do like how BBI handles the canteens, pouches and other gear. Trying to put all that tiny stuff on is not fun for someone with shaky hands. I really don't have any major problems with BBI or 21st and I hope they keep coming out with quality WWII figs and vehicles. There more the merrie...

Yeah XD is MY favorite with BBI a close second. It's just that you can get all sorts of cool pieces and accessories for next to nothing with Power Team. They aren't as detailed as XD but there are a lot of unique items.

I forgot about that gate! That with my watch tower would be a sweet checkpoint.

I believe I saw a guy by that name on eBay a few weeks ago saying he was quitting his site and selling all his stuff.

I might be wrong, but it was a name like that and he was selling custom 1/18 stuff.

That would explain it.

My bank account doesn't allow me to be that impatient.
