Small Scale Military Headquarters

I wouldn't be collecting 1:18... I was only influenced to start 1:18 because of Unimax's interest in testing the 1:18 waters back in 2007, previous to that I had been collecting 1:72 and 1:32. Other than that, I did probably be investing on every One Piece P.O.P ever made.....

Can there be an option for both?

Founded Unimax's new 1:32 two packs! But no luck finding any of Unimax's Fearless Forces line yet, bummer. These guys look really good proportionally... and from a distance... but up close they look crap... the paint job is very bad. Badly painted sunglasses, elapping biege skin tone paint on black ...

Holy crap!
I was wondering what Mr. Gatdula (toysoldier1) over at the 1:18 board was saying about new 1:32 figures!
These guys look like scaled down versions of the 1:18 SOF Series: Combat Elite! I'll check mines tomorrow!

Yep saw one of each at the Santa Ana Wal-Mart for $9.00.

Welcome aboard Mr. Gatdula! Good to have you here at last, looking forward to any and all news you have for whatever that Unimax is pumping out! I agree, the Fearless Forces line is most likely how the Ages of Action line was created, separate lines for separate themes/eras. Ages of Action = Ancient...

Ok, I'm lost, the motorcycle is 3 3/4, but it says titanium vehicle right after. IIRC, the titanium vehicles were the small scale diecast IJ toys weren't they?

Here you go guys: http://toyfair09.figures.com/showgallery.php?cat=751 Fearless Force was announced back in February at the ToyFair 09, this toyline is technically Sci-Fi through. Here's a brief article: http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&top...

There's no IJ sale over here either. As far as I remember, 1:18 aircrafts have been all gone in TRU stores in SoCal for a long while now.
Only thing I'm waiting for is the M17 quad to be reduced again as I don't have one but could use one at a lower price.

Yay, I finally found the figs! But its not the modern U.S. Army & Marines or WWII figs, instead its the Delta Forces & SEALs! They were all marked as $3.48 instead. I picked up 4 Deltas and 1 SEAL, also picked up three paratrooper Rangers for $3.98. I think the store made a mistake and marked the wr...

The Tiger saw a very brief release in Fall 2007, about less then 2 months, before it vanished forever in the holiday clearance sale. Oddly, only one version of the Tiger appeared, the other version hasn't been released yet. I'm so glad I got one, I almost passed on this one like everyone else becaus...

Did a major Target hopping campaign yesterday. Didn't find any figs on clearance at any stores, probably all cleaned out on day one. All the vehicles I encountered were not reduced but I bought them anyways as I've been looking for them all over and can't find them and it seems like no one is waitin...

No price reduction at mines, guess they'll do it tomorrow?

Interesting finds, I went to TRU and scanned all the stock through the scanner and they all read: "Sale ends 7/18/2009". If we wait until past 7/18, TRU will probably slashed them again afterwards. I remember last summer I was at the TRU Fullerton and they slashed the price again for Unimax's 1:32 F...

Thanks for the intel Stug. Haven't checked mines in the last few days, but their probably been hoarded by the Joe collectors by now, but I'll check my stores again anyways. I'm at least having some success with K-Mart's Unimax's FOV clearance sale instead, go figure.

I'm pretty sure since the first reports came in from last summer to now there was no sightings of any Abrams at K-Mart just a lot of MLRSs and M109s for large box vehicles.
I've checked 2 more K-Marts and pretty much more of the same, strangely all the 1:72 aircraft is missing in all stores.

Check your Kmarts if you need the older items. Mine have had all of their FOV stock reduced for clearance. Yesterday I picked up 1/32 scale stuff ( Stugs, Stuarts) for $9 each. 1/72 scale stuff was cheap too. Tanks were $4 each. Too bad they didn't have any jeeps as I can always use more of those. ...

No luck finding any Abrams or any Bradleys either, I get the feeling the G.I. Joe fans are cleaning them up as I'm only encountering endless stocks of Shermans at each store... grr. :evil: Speaking about ROC, I stopped collecting Joes a long time ago, but ignoring the giant missile launcher of doom ...

how on earth do garbage, high priced figures like that make it into so many retailers and yet bbi are so hard to find and 21c couldn't get into anywhere except WM for a while and TRU a bit? Somebody must be paying off the store buyers or something.. LOL, read this article: http://www.toymania.com/n...

Noticed this yesterday, slash down again.

Figures now $4.88 and vehicles now $9.08.

So are you saying that if we see a desert tan Abrams, we should pick it up without hesitation? Nah, we should wait for them to slash it down again to $15. it would be nice to know if this 1/18 bravo line is going anywhere or is a dead end.. Their just doing the annual 1:18 vehicle clearance... hope...

New feature from JSI? I've that figure, and it can't do that.

aferguson wrote:no fallschirms...maybe JSI doesn't have access to those molds.

Bummer.

Their desert deco is far superior to BBI's too. I was surprised. It looks much better. Thanks for the heads up. No luck for me, only found a plain green Sherman. Could've used an extra Abrams for my collection. IIRC, the BBI one is an outdated Abrams from the early 90s. Unimax's is more accurate fo...

The parachute is only removeable if you untie the strings attached to the straps on the shoulders.

Woah, completely missed this thread. Interesting find, I'll need to remind myself to look for these, I'll be down to buy one if I can find it and if it looks good up close. on the topic of scale.. what if new ray bought these molds from 21st C or whoever they owed money to? FoV already has a 1:18 ti...
