Not sure why everyone doubts me? 21st Century is in trouble and hasn't released much of anything new lately. Stock piles are drying up everywhere. In my area, one walmart has stopped carrying 21st century altogether and most of all the other stores have cut back on the product line. Readers of your...

Not a treasure and not quite scrap metal. I was out this morning and showed the figures to some antique dealers. I also heard back from Doug Drearth at Michigan Toy Soldier Company.

I can say for sure that they are not Barclay. They also do not match any Gray Iron figures that I've seen.

Do you know of a web page that shows "South Korean" Gray Iron toy soldiers?

I've done several searches, but can't find any.

Well, there's a set of them on ebay. Unfortunitly the seller knows about as much as I do about them. One thing though. If his are repaints and mine are repaints. They were painted by the same person. They have the same colors and flaws. http://cgi.ebay.com/6-old-cast-iron-soldiers_W0QQitemZ130255109...

The antenna should be in the little baggie like Oli said. It fits between the canopy and the clear navigation light or whatever that is.

The only thing I want to know is, where's the antenna? On the top of mine in the hole where the antenna should be? Is a piece of clear plastic.

Shouldn't there be an antenna?

Otherwise the two I have have no flaws. At least none I've found.

Although the Dauntlass is one of my favorite WWII aircraft. I'm still going to pass. This one looks better then the first. But still, a Dauntless should have more color to it. I'll wait untill they come out with a Coral Sea or Midway version. (Hopefully)

Something I've used to get really stuck on crud off of models and other things is isobutane/propane. More commanly known as chewing gum remover. You can get it at any carpet care center. Just don't freeze your fingers useing it.

Vehicles other than tanks (trucks, armored cars) The inglorious heros of every war. That's what we need more of. You can find all kinds of 1/32 aircraft and figures out there. (you will have to assemble and paint them) 21stC and FOV have plugged the hole for tanks. Now we need the support equipment!

This is great news! I have a Sd Kfz 232 and it fits in well with my 21c and FOV. I'd really like to get an M-8 or M-20. Maybe even the jeep with the 37mm.

Anyone have any info on who, what, when and where this may happen?

Why Do They Lie? The FOV P-39
Simple, so you will by it. I really wanted the P-39. I like the lines for some reason. I found one at hobbytown. As soon as I saw the landing gear in the bottom of the box. I put it back on the shelf. I was very disapointed.

Wal-mart Reset/Clearance

Just got home from Wal-mart. Their doing their fall reset. Picked up a set and a half of the 1/32 DAK figures for $3. each. (all they had) They were still marking stuff down when I left. I'll be going back to check tomorrow.

Yes, there are three new empty pegs for the figures in the isle.
