21st 1/32 Sherman, Panzer Duo Pack?

Post by dragon53 » Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:20 pm

Is the 21st Century 1/32 Sherman/Panzer Mk IV duo pack available at ToysRUs or Wal-Mart?

If so, what is the selling price(s)?

I think these have come and gone. $29.99 if I remember correctly. They did issue both schemes singularly though. I picked up the Sherman but passed on what I feel is their worst done tank: PzIV ausfH! Yuck!

Thanks. I agree the Panzer is gross looking.
The Sherman comes with a crewman when sold individually.
It's one of my options since I'm no longer considering the FOV 1/18 Sherman.

...and the Panzer IV in the dual pack actually had the better paintjob between the two that 21c has made :roll:

In many ways its worth the extra cost to get the FOV Panzer. There's really no comparison :wink:

Indeed. I have the winter version and now that I've gotten my big three, Tiger/Panther/T-34 this month I think I will go for one of the earlier PZ IV marks next month.

Dragon, I like the FOV Sherman. Just stay away from the S1 dayglow green and you will be OK. I have been waiting to find a deal on the newest release with the riders and sandbags. My guess is this will make for one cool tank and with the sandbags will blow away the 21C version.

BTW I counted last night and I have 13 Shermans if I include all the 21C variants. That is not a very auspicious number. :? Perhaps I can justify paying full price for the newest FOV. :P

OLIFANT:

The FOV 1/32 diecast Sherman with soldiers and sandbags is $39.99 at Target.com.

I'd like to have a plastic 1/18 Sherman with only 1 commander for $39.99---I hope 21st Century is paying attention.

Sherman with riders not available for 2-6 weeks. Is all that FOV stuff Enthusiast edition? Looks weathered and all but it doesn't specify.
