Another disappointing weekend:(

Well, another week passes and still no FOV ww2 figs.

I'm so frustrated with looking for em. Went to 2 different Targets this weekend looking for them, but nada. I'm trying to deal with the fact that I may never see them. Oh well, just needed to vent fellas. On a brighter note however, I did get 3 25th anniversary Cobra figs. and I got 2 of the old DAKs and an Otto repaint.

So at least the weekend wasn't a total loss.

I know I am still waiting to find a FOV Tiger....the Shermans showed up here but no Tiger.

I seen the Tiger here one time and passed on it in hopes of getting the other paint scheme. I have the 21st one so I really wasn't too excited about the FOV Tiger, but now I do hope to see them in the stores once more. I still don't know if I'll get one or not. I did see the Shermans a while back, but even those are getting scarce.

I'm not so sure the Tigers will resurface since they were clearanced awhile back. I'm surprised that the Shermans are taking so long to surface around the country. I thought product availability would improve since they were not being sold at WM, but it looks like some items are going AWOL. Not complaining though since I've found most of the new items from FOV and 21st that I probably would never find at WM.

Totally agreed. And to believe that there are areas that got the Tigers, WWII figures, and the Shermans. (Its that middle KY, TN, IL, OH, MO area that's gotten most of the goodies as of late.) I keep hoping the Shermans will make a stong showing in the west eventually, but I grow tired of checking my local Targets to only see a couple FOV Bradleys that are no longer discounted.

Three of my Targets do have the WWII figures still sitting around and I have my fill of those - so its not all a complete loss yet

We saw the WWII FOV figures in SW MI/NW IN, but no signs of the Tiger or Sherman. Kind of a bummer, because the Tiger is tempting. And the FOV figures are now long since gone--I think 2 full sets is all there was.
On the other hand, I found a 1/32 Marder at WM, and the 2 packs and Platoon figures are here. Haven't been to South Bend since after Christmas, but a coworker said he didn't see anything of interest at TRU, WM, or Target.

I've seen no FOV WW2 figures or Tanks in the KY/TN area....and I look almost everyday on my way home from work. Frankly I'm starting to loose interest because of the lack of product. Maybe I just need to look every other week, but then I might miss something.......ugggggggg!!!!!!!!!

I heard that the fov tiger will not start to appear again until around the beggining of this summer or late spring.

Well that is better than what I heard from my Target...they said next fall

I counsel patience. If anyone recalls, for a long time we only found Shermans, Stugs, Pattons and Abrams in 1/32, but no Tigers or King Tigers. Now they have become somewhat common. Let the inventory catch up. I predict in a few weeks/months it will be easy to find all the FOV WWII stuff in 1/18 at Target.
Of course, I've been wrong before!

(my wife loves to remind me of that!

I have found plenty of FOV figures but not a hint of any WWII armor. Like a lemming I continue to stop at every Target I find, but know I will find nothing. Just going through the motions

.

I will probably wet myself when the day comes I actually find what I am looking for!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wets... I need to get some depends for the day I find a 1/18 WW2 Tank.

I'd just like to give a big THANKYOU!!!! to KAMIKAZE for hooking me up. Good looking out!

Panzer_M · Post by **Panzer_M** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:23 pm

don't get me started on bad hunts...I used to do trips from the north to south of the county on late nights when I was a insom, to hit 24hr WMs to see what they had for 21st stuff.

I am in southern Middle Tn and have not found any of ther WW2 figures or tanks at the 3 Targets I frequent.

tosborne3 · Post by **tosborne3** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 10:41 am

It's funny because I see people on here from Cleveland being able to find the new figures and it just makes me wonder if Columbus has been left out.

But never the less, at least I will have one of each of the figures to look forward to thanks to KAMIKAZE. I'm still going to continue to look for them of course, who knows maybe I'll get lucky.

Well I found all the Americans but no sign of the Germans or Tiger tank as of last time I checked.
