Guess this find deserves it's own post

Post by pcsguy88 » Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:29 am

I took the following pictures at a Target in KC on the 20th and forgot to post them. Very interesting that 21st Century has changed their packaging to 4 Star Military and released what appears to be new repaints? I've never seen that PIII scheme, but I've been in the 1/18th section for many months. Anyone else see this stuff on the shelves? Could this mean a new surge from 21st C?

This is likely a limited run trial if you will by Target. It would be cool if they continue this line since WM appears to be out of the XD toy business.

Yes, all these were supposed to be a trial run for Target but that happened a couple of months ago. The fact you found so many in one place is pretty cool, though.

These products hit Illinois Targets in late summer. I have seen these products at Walmarts in the standard 21st Century green boxes at Walmart.

If you found this many, all together, in one test Target that does not bode real well for Target carrying them across the country.

They have been non-existent in North Carolina.
