Is the FOV Stryker out yet? or will it not come out?

I think I read that it's supposed to. I'm pretty sure. Too bad the 1/32 one is dead. =/

The FOV 1:18 Stryker had better come out

After getting to see a number of Stryker vehicles up-close-and-personal while on a tour of Fort Lewis this past August, I want one more than ever.

Although I was pleased to see the M-16 the release I would like to get my hands on is the Tiger. Never had a chance to buy one last year. The Stryker would help heal my heart though...

Hello Gentlemen,

Here's the very lateset.

I spoke with our rep from FOV today about the forthcoming Bravo Team Stryker. The good news...it is coming. The bad news...unfortunately, it's coming this spring and will not be here in time for a Christmas release.

I wish I brought better news.

Matt

That news is awesome as far as I'm concerned Matt. We know one is coming and that is what counts....

Thank you.

Thanks Matt. Is this going to be a Target exclusive? I wonder what the contract is like between T and FOV. I think they could reach many other buyers if they went on-line with these.

Hello olifant!

You are correct my friend. The Stryker and all Bravo Team items are Target Exclusives.

Foxhole Toys ships worldwide and receives many requests for these exclusive pieces from folks who simply have no access to a Target location or who become weary of searching every store in the hopes to find any. We know the feeling, as well...not to mention gas prices.

We have a great relationship with Panache Place and they are always helpful in providing us with the inside scoop.

It is the belief of Foxhole Toys that Target is just the launching pad for their 1:18 scale line in order to test the waters. Target needed to replace the BBI 1:18 line and TRU & Walmart already covered the 21st Century Toys line. I know they have been pleasantly surprised with its success.

Therefore, they tell us that more is coming down the road. Just what is in store is yet to be unveiled. On that note, hopefully available directly to online stores, as well.

Cheers,
Matt

We couldnt believe the stryker was cancelled for retail stores. I have also heard that they are seriously considering the fov 1/18 line for smaller retail sellers. but they have no definate plans.

Matt, thanks for all your updates and letting us know what is going on with future projects.

i suspect the bravo team line has sold quite well so i wouldn't be surprised to see it expanded in time.

AMERICAN_GRENADIER · Post by **AMERICAN_GRENADIER** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 10:02 am

We can only hope! I would really like to see that and ive been stressing that to FOV!

Any chance FOV will venture into 1/18th scale aircraft?

AMERICAN_GRENADIER · Post by **AMERICAN_GRENADIER** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 7:05 am

Matt for FOV had said they really didnt think there was such a demand by online or retail stores for the 1/18 items. and yes they are very happy with the response. I sell alot of 1/18 figures and vehicles. We really want access to that line!

Gotta get one of these and put some slat armor on it.

An MGS version would be great too!
