Small Scale Military Headquarters

I was at Target today and saw they were putting out tan 1/18 scale M1 Abrams Tanks and M2 Bradleys.
This is the first time a LONG time that I have seen any 1/18 vehicles on a Target shelf.
Anybody else see this at their Target Store? If so, could a new 1/18 Tiger be on the way??

I was at target today they have the camo
Bradleys & Abrams. There was no figures out yet the pegs still have the tags. No WW2 stuff.

Goodness finally a reason to shop again!!! Did you happen to see any Army or Marine figures??

What was the prices on the tanks and Bradleys?

i wonder if this is new stock or old stuff left over from last year they're putting out to get rid of over christmas?

Probably won't be any wwii stuff, just like last year. Target doesn't want wwii toys....it was the same with bbi. Unimax was just able to sneak them in that one year.

I wouldn't mind a few more Abrams.... I happened upon a case of the camo Bradley's earlier this year at TRU they aren't as good as the 21st version but it was 1:18 armor on the shelf and thats something you just dont see anymore. Get 'em while you can.

Target's not one to hang onto stock from a year previous to sell the following Christmas... This is surely new stock. I believe they even cleared out any stragglers after last christmas, in the 1:18 vehicle realm.

Interesting, Popcorn anyone?

Well, individual stores generally don't hold onto old merch, but periodically the regional warehouses will clear out any remaining old stock for close-outs (or 'remainders' as we called them at Borders Books) and send them to stores that previously had a strong sales history moving those items in hopes of selling the bulk of it before selling it off to someplace like Big Lots.

Target north of pittsburgh had the tan 1/18Abrams and Bradley ($29.99) They had some new 1/32 Abrams and Bradley.

This is great news!

Target in Eagle Rock CA had some too
no figures though

I was at the Overland Park Ks. Target today. They had one each of the desert sand M1 and M2 . They also had about three each of the Army and Marine figures mixed in with the Seals and Delta figures.

Same here, 1:18 M1 and M2 in desert sand. Target in Silver Spring MD.

Northern, Calif had one M1 and one M2.

I've been seeing desert and woodland cammo m1s at various targets in central california as of late. Got them both when these were first out a couple years ago, but nice to see big 1:18 armor on the shelves again

My Target had a few and now they are gone.

Made it to Target last night and picked up a M1. Not bad for the price. The machine guns on top are crap and the weathering is a bit cursory, but I think I can spruce the old girl up nicely.

Went to two targets in S.A. Finished getting all of the modern army and marine figures. One store had about 20 figures priced at 4.99 and 2 desert Abrams.

I'm here in Houston for awhile. Stopped at a couple of targets. Same; 1 ea of M1and M2; couple of modern figures; some 1/72 helos nothing new that I can tell.

I'm hoping the LAV will be available again, I was deployed when they were out and missed them. I know they arent as good as the BBi ones but I still want one.

Out in LA they had the Abrams and Bradley all in deset camo.

One of the Brads came home with me

I seen the FOV 1/18th mil Hind 39 bucks















I keed I keed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't appear that the FOV stuff is moving off the shelves at least in Northern, CA. The tanks and figures are just sitting collecting dust and it's been several weeks since the last time I passed by the toy ailse.

If target went back to selling WWII 1:18th the stuff would sell.

Was in a target on westheimer blvd in houston last night. Had two FOV WWII soldiers except that they were not. Looks like someone open the package and replaced the figure with PTE soldiers and then returned them. Several other figure packs looked similar.
