Small Scale Military Headquarters

Dragon,
Keep checking out the Targets. Sometimes you can get lucky and get an Enthsiast version in an Action box for $25.99....

I picked up my Stryker. I like it. I'm going to have to get a couple... I also liked the Abrams, Bradley, etc. For $19.99 you can't beat it...

These FOV dioramas are still readily available for a lot less than those evilbay prices....

The Targets in my area have the 1/32 Bravo Team vehicles. I picked up the Stryker. There were also M1A1s, Bradleys and mobile Howitzers. They were actually a little weathered. For $19.99 a piece I'll probably have to get them all. I'm definitely going to buy at least one more Stryker. I saw them unp...

Thus far Bravo Team products in my area have all been 1/18 scale with Shermans and Abrams. In any event, I welcome new vehicles.

What about the Blachhawk?

$19.99. that's a bargain! I'll be on the lookout for it.
Keep in mind FOV's M113's troop door didn't open either

Mike, GI Toys,
How much are the Stryker and Blackhawk?

Dragon,
Recently I've also seen woodland camo Abrams and Iraqi Freedom Bradleys. Both of these vehicles were Enthusiast grade in Action grade boxes...... I'm dying to know more about the Stryker and Blackhawk.

Mike, GI Toys, You're sure it was a Stryker in 1/32 scale? There was a prior topic in this forum where the cancellation of the Stryker was discussed because of "political" reasons and some problem the PRC had with this vehicle.. Please tell me more about the tank crew set and the 1/32 Blackhawk....

Dragon,
The M60 was $25.99. The tag beneath the product said $17.99. For a moment I got excited, but when I scanned all the vehicles they all read $25.99 and when I read the tag closer it said "32 inch vehicle," whatever that is....

Are my eyes deceiving me? A 1/32 Stryker?!! I thought that had been cancelled?!! A 1/32 Blackhawk?!! Do you have pictures?
I was at a Target today and they did have the Elephant, HIMARS and woodland camo M60..... but nothing like what you've described. Did you buy all of them?

The only French tanks from WWII I've been able to find are K&C and they're not cheap. As for Italian tanks, I had Charlie at Wooden Warrior make me some. I did purchase the WWI Renault French tank (ONWTS) because believe it or not some of them were still in use at the beginning of WWII.... They didn...

I would like new additions from virtually any of the conflicts, but I voted for Afghanistan/Iraq. You'll recall 21st had a few vehicles in 1/18. I assumed they'd come out with some 1/32. I'm surprized 21st didn't release quite a few vehicles and planes in 1/32 that were produced in 1/18..... 3/4 ton...

I voted for N. Africa/Mediteranean. I'd like to see some Italian and French vehicles.

They are nice. They truly are 1/35. If you put them next to Conte or San Diego Toy Soldier they are dwarfed.
You can get away with either 21st Century or old Airfix. They also go well with Tamiya 1/35 figures. (I paint plastics.)

The TRU's by me are picked over. For a while the FOV and 21st Century products were a large percentage of the aisle containing military products. Now there's not much left. One TRU had about 7 British P51s. I sure hope these stores replenish their stock. Have you ever noticed TRU has never reduced t...

Although the weather here is almost balmy..... It hit 60 degrees with lots of rain... I was happy there was no snow. I finished my 1/32 Huey UN chopper. It looks pretty good. I Googled UN choppers and they had a UN Huey from New Zealand and I mirrored it.

I hit one Walmart today and they had no 21st whatsoever... Things have been very quiet at the local Walmarts..........

They have been absent in the Chicago area for quite a while....

These products hit Illinois Targets in late summer. I have seen these products at Walmarts in the standard 21st Century green boxes at Walmart.

Has anyone seen any post xmas sales at any of the big box stores?

The 1/32 Hueys were made by Toy Zone. I don't even know if that company is still in existence. I do recall seeing this product at Walmart, Meijers and even Toys-R-Us. They also made a 1/32 P51, a 1/40 P38 and some modern jet fighters. Some of the original Conte D-Day sets had the P51 and P38 planes ...

Sorry. I tried to put up some pictures, but I proved once again how tecnologically retarded I am...... You wouldn't believe how long it took me how to figure out how to post entries on this forum....
