I just found the Stryker at my Target store and I was thoroughly disappointed. One word - CHEAP . They also had the 1:32 scale M1 Abrams, Bradley and Paladin packaged in the same Bravo Team box and they were ALL PLASTIC. Either Unimax has discontinued the Action Series line altogether or producing ...

I am starting to think this may not happen. Jason stated he wanted to do this for his Dad, but with the Dauntless and even the Hartman Sabre years behind how long until this can get done? The only way I see it being released is if Jason chooses to surprise us by slipping it to the front of the produ...

New BBI Paras

I bought the four new BBI paras and think they are fabulous. One large complaint though: I cannot get their harness over their gear and the parachute over the harness. I have broken necks, tried doing it with the legs detached and every other way under the sun and cannot get the @*%#! figures togeth...

Looks like quality is going down, but new releases going up! I look forward to finding a Stryker or two. Or four maybe.

Cool that they are doing commander figures in two packs. Price anyone?

Same here. I picked up an old Brummbar and the DAK Opel truck for $9 each. Both were heavy and I am pretty sure they are Cold Steel. Worrisome that these are old stock filtering up to retail rather than new production. :?

Remember that if you don't mind the slightly toyish look there is a type 95 tank and a Higgins boat in 1/32. I think the tank is bleh but the Higgins boat looks good with some TLC. I love the PTO and our USMC but except for AC there isn't much going on for ground pieces. Figures, sure. Armor repaint...

I will say Vietnam if only for the AC this period could provide. WW I would make great 1/18 figures but I am not too interested in 1/32; the few tanks used are represented in 1/32 already. Korea really saw little changes in equipment except for the early jets. If that is what we are after Vietnam is...

Ostfront.

I sure wish 21C would make a 1941 model T34. I know FOV has made the T-34/85 but at $55 a pop I can't afford many of these. Then the chassis can be used for numerous SP guns. I would buy these by the friggin' case!

I would be totally down for an M-10. I could never understand why we never got one in 1/32. Instead they made the M-18; go figure. :?

A few months ago I bought up a ton of 1/32 tanks and AC for $11 each and each local WM restocked the exact same pieces two weeks later at full price. I think this is a periodic reset and does not necessarily spell the end.

I am sure BCA is struggling with quite a few companies these days. I always get great service from them but typically don't buy unless something is on "sale" with them.
