Nope I went back and looked at the old listing and checked the revisions...


On another note every one should stop in and check this thread out and say something to Phil. :wink:

I just hope whoever buys it will post some pictures on here. I like to know what parts are metal or not and if there is any interior detail

She said there is some metal on it....

YES, YOU ARE NOT DREAMING, THIS IS A 1:18 SCALE TANK, it is not 1:32 scale! This is a 21st Century Toys Ultimate Soldier 1:18 WWII German Tiger Tank. This is a pre-production sample made by 21st Century Toys before going out of business!!!! The tank was never produced. It seems to be made of both metal and plastic materials. Packing will be handled with care - please see my feedback. This tank is WAS NEVER produced so buy it now while you still can!!!

**Approximate measurements on the tank are 14"x8.5"x7". The measurement from the front of the gun to the back of the tank is approximately 22".

it will be plastic and probably not quite as finely detailed as the final production model would have been. It is probably a paint master. There may have been structural mods to the model and tooling done after it was painted. It may well not be the only one, but it's probably the only painted one, unless they experimented with other paint schemes on other pre production samples.

Now all of a sudden she's an expert......lol.......in her first listing she didn't even know the name of the tank. :D

I hope this beauty is released some day. Looks like it would have been a winner. I like the red primer driver's hatch.

.............. I'd bet this won't be the only one to surface. I think they'll be more to come eventually. Somebody in China will release them on eBaY or something. Some a these Chinese are crafty businessmen.

Not to rub salt in the wound, guys, but didn't the first listing end with a starting bid of $9.99, and got no bids? :?:

So somebody could have got this for $10, and just taken a chance while it was originally listed.

Or did she end the auction, when she got some questions?

Understandably, you armour guys are getting pretty worked up over this. :lol:

I would be interested to see where this one ends. :wink:

The seller ended the auction after the questions came in. I'm guessing this will probably sell for around $1k since it is the only prototype to surface so far. Who knows, maybe there are more of them.

The guys bidding on it now are a bunch of noobs they are driving up the price before the auction is 4 hrs old.

They are trying to out do each other this early on.

I say it will reach $1200 unless they come to their senses.

Noobies calm down. :roll:

This post has us all in a tizzy.

It has got to be some kind of record . The most posts in such a short time.

Armor junkies calm down. :twisted:

I was gonna suggest you buy it and recast it pickle, but at this price you could master it cheaper!

I still doubt this is the only one out there. Maybe the other ones will show up soon after the owners realize how much they are worth. At any case i'd rather buy the tamiya 1/16 KT for the price this one is going for.
