ALTAYA MILITARY VEHICLES HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED IN U.S.

Post by the_bird » Wed Oct 30, 2013 6:09 am

I was shopping with American_Grenadier and I noticed that he has begun to list Altaya diecast armor & vehicles. The prices are very good compared to buying them over seas.
I sent him a message and asked what when and how. maybe be can post some information on these new imports.

heres a couple of listings he has abot 18 available now

We recently were offered these Altaya die cast models of World War II German ground vehicles. From trucks to tanks and everything in-between. One of our distributors has begun to import these in large quantities. The model quality is pretty good and the wide variety of little or never done vehicles is worth a look. I have ordered some of these from over seas to fill gaps in my collection. for the price I am very happy with the quality. Some are better than others but over all a decent collection. The first release was 32 pieces with a second to follow with another 15 pieces. they are a very good value with most at 14.99 each. if you have anymore questions let me know. Heres the link to the Altaya page

I see they made the same mistake 21st and FOV did and released the Mobelwind prototype instead of the production vehicle with the 3.7cm gun.

The Landwasserschlepper (LWS) amphibious tractor (had to copy and paste that) is very unusual. 8)

I've bought a couple (dealer-member above is highly recommended), and am so very pleased that this line finally made it stateside. I have also been buying the Warmaster version of many of these same molds which seem to mainly have a heavier weathering and maybe extra paint details and some different paint schemes. Anyway, with these 2 lines clocking in at from $15-$19 I am finally starting to feel that 72 scale diecast tanks is finally getting back to a great spot after some unfortunate price creep and declining releases.

Anyone no how to get the triangle-holed screws out of the bottom of these things? Are there trinagle tipped wrenchs (like hex but 3 side) out there?
