I just got my four today. This thing is amazing!!!! Pity it is rare in the US, it really does look a lot better w/ the sideskirts. Not crazy about the colors. I wanted the original colors so I could get the halftrack and tiger to match, but maybe the new tank killer halftrack will look nice alongsid...

Is there a new die cast m48 Patton tank available now?

I see a bunch of Pattons on ebay and I just read a thread about a poster picking one up at wal-mart. Is this tank available at wal-mart now? I was about to shell about a hundred bucks for one, but not if I can find it at retail, thanks.

Okay I just did the math again and it figures out to be a little over 300, I cant afford that. Should have done the math beforehand. He is trying to charge me $150 to ship it, I might as well fly there myself.

Something is not right with this seller. I bought one panzer but have not heard from seller since I paid. It also seems the shipping for sakuraba was twice as much then what I paid:?

you can get one for 37$ directly Actually, I think it is a bit more than that. The current exchange rate is roughly 1.89 GBP to 1 USD so with shipping it would run you approximately $51 USD, not a huge difference mind you, but a tad more than $37, the difference being the shipping charge, but still...

Im sure they will reissue it as well, they have rereleased the halftracks a bunch of times. They have the molds for the Panzer 4 with sideskirts so I bet it will be released with them. I wasnt really into paintjob anyways. That is unless the company doesnt go under in the near future. About the RC v...

Panzer IV questions

Whatever happened to this tank? I never purchased it because I ran into the guy from 21st at weekend of heroes 2005 and he said they would be released with sideskirts in September 2005, but it never happened. Now I wish I would have purchased it before it became impossible to find. Does anyone know ...

21st century news from weekend of heroes 2005, sorry no pix

It was mostly 1:6 stuff, but there were a couple vendors selling GI Joe and 1:18 planes. Badcat aviation was there, as was BBI, 21st, and Build-o-rama. I spoke to the Chinese guy at the 21st booth, which had a lot of the 1:18 vehicles on display. There was even a panzer IV w/ Sideskirt that had a de...

The 106 is a direct fire weapon with a crew of four men. In firing, the gunner sits on the right leg of the tripod mount fa...
