Those are sweet, thanks for the post JP.

Up here in WA state we only get distribution via pack-donkey. I have yet to see the DD open coat German, nevertheless the double packs or VN figures.

Perhaps if I line my pockets with apples and sugar cubes at WM the donkeys will show. :roll:

I found Gustav at TRU tonight.

There was a whole peg of them, seems likely that it was a solid pack case - which is an unsual thing for a retail store like TRU to receive - especially since it appears that Wal-mart received an assortment?

I spotted Gustav at TRU back in mid Feb and mentioned it on another thread, but this is the first I have heard of anyone finding the other two. Nice!

I knew about the new DAK guys, but the rifle man is something I didn't know about. Looks like some more madness on Evil bay for me :twisted: Da General

These figures look great and just noticed that the Wermacht Rifleman comes with an extra head, good idea.

Yep, extra heads are always good to make new troops ;)
The more figures with different heads they make, you can multiply your armies :P Da General

Are those figures painted in the same way most all of the new figures are? Or do they have the paint style of the original Paras? The original Paras have always been superior to me because of the way they were painted. They didn't feel heavy with paint - Almost as if the plastic was just dyed (In fact I think it was). Newer figures (or even the original 90 degree joint infantry for that matter) have this heavy paint on them that make customization harder and the figures more delicate to me.

Those picture seem like they don't have that heavy pain on them. Is this true or does it just look that way in those pictures?

Thanks,

I wonder how long it will take for the on-line guys to get the figures in house.

The new figures are cool looking and I can't wait to get em myself, I suspect we'll see them online soon with the quickness that they showed up at retail. Who knows? :D
