Can.do lines are now soldout and out of production!

Post by AMERICAN_GRENADIER » Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:06 pm

i just got off the phone with DragonUSA and they have announced that thier can.do lines are now retired. they will nolonger be producing any of these items. they are also totally sold out. this is very disappointing! we have sold these items for over 8 years. the 1/35 infantry line was very well done aswell as the 1/144 series of stukas and WWII tanks.
SORRY TO SEE THEM GO!

figured i would give you guys a heads up. im sure they will be harder & harder to find now

No big surprise here, I haven't seen a CanDo product in the last year or so.

the 1/35 infantry line was very well done as well
I agree they're very nicely done, and they work quite well with 32X armor and vehicles IMO. I got the complete line of 1/35 can do figures about a year ago from an outfit called Action Collector, who BTW still has most of em' in stock at very reasonable prices if anyone is interested. I also picked up a fairly large lot of loose but mint can do figures from one of our members not too long ago, so I'm well stocked on these, and I'm glad I did now with the news that they're OOP.

I don't think so UK,

just with the slow-down, DML delayed alot of releases in 1/35 and 1/72 armour, but it's been pumping out 1/72s at a pretty steady pace recently. And DragonWings too has had new life brought in to the line.

But 1/72 Warbirds(just new re-issues w/bases) and 1/35 have been quiet as you noticed.

Maybe American_Grenadier or Motorpool have some better info on it. On a plus MRC, HM and others are making up for Dragon's slack or lack depending on your opinion of lizard's products.

i believe the 1/35 tank line is safe, but they havnt released a new tooling of a tank in a couple years. the panther was great i was hoping they would continue but with the world crash i think they are holding off.

the 1/72 line is going well but the number of releases have been lowered per month. i think we are safe there

I love Dragon 1/35 armour range & just up they starting making some new models
When you think how much it cost to buy a model kit & then paint it then the dragon armour a good buy

This is hardy surprising since the lack of anything new for over 2 years now led most of us 1:144 fans to this conclusion . Too bad they didn't manage to finish the IDF set
