Found another camo FOV Sherman on the shelf today at Target. Last time in this Target the 1/18 FOV shelf was empty- today there was the camo Sherman and yes- a Bradley.

If those Marder IIIMs are now in Texas, maybe they will appear here in AZ soon. I have yet to see one of these things in person.

Thanks for the heads-up. My closest Tuesday Morning had several M1s, Bradleys, Humvees and Apaches today. Pretty hard to pass up at the price.

Found two 1/18 FOV Shermans on the shelf this morning at Target. One of them was the camo version which I quickly latched onto, and the other was the solid o.d. version. I have seen probably eight of the solid o.d. versions since they first started appearing, but this was the first camo version that...

No, they are back up to $19.99. I didn't scan the Bradley, but I assume it is back up to $19.99 as well.

Found two FOV 1/18 Shermans on the shelf at Target this morning, which was a nice sight considering they have had one Bradley on that shelf for the past month. I was hoping to find a camo Sherman but these were both the solid color type. I picked up one to add to the other couple that I already have...

I stiil haven't seen these Platoon figs show up here in AZ yet, but am keeping a eye open for them. It is funny that I have seen endless amounts of FOV WWII figs at Target for some time now, but these Platoon figs haven't worked there way into the local Walmart systems here.

I would love to see these figures re-released, as I sadly don't own any of them. :( I got into the game a little too late, and the evilbay prices are a little to steep to handle. So here is to hoping that we see them again.

Found 3 38Ts on the shelf at a local Walmart. These new window boxes do make it pretty nice for picking out one with the least imperfections. Was hoping to find the new Marder as well, but no luck there.

I received my order today from The Flying Mule, and I have to say that I am very pleased with their service. I placed my order on the 29th and I already have it in my hands. Everything was shipped in a sturdy box with plenty of packing material. They definitely get a big thumbs-up from me. :D

I don't own a 1/18 Panther, so this will be a welcome addition to the collection. I think the camo pattern looks great. Are chances pretty good that it will come with a tanker figure as well?

OLIFANT- Thanks for the heads-up on this sale at The Flying Mule.

DRAGON53- Thanks for providing that discount code.


I placed an order with them today for some Corgi armor and figures that I have been wanting for a while. Just can't pass up a good sale. :wink:

This morning I went to three Targets that I usually don't include in my rounds and was pleasantly surprised. The first stop didn't have any 1/18 FOV at all, not even a single Bradley. The next two Targets each had two Shermans in the solid green color. As I already have one of this variety, I only p...

Found the two-packs here in my area this morning. Even though they are re-paints, it is nice to have them in hand. Am I correct that there are only two varieties at this time?

Off topic, but did anyone else check out the Ages of Action section of FOV. Those articulated 1/18 knights, samurai and Egyptians could turn out to be pretty cool. That M16 looks pretty nice as well, but it is kind of hard to get too excited about it with the ones we already have from 21C.

Yeah I forgot to mention that I have seen plenty of the modern and WWII 1/18 figures here in various Targets, but when it comes to vehicles- nothing but Bradleys lately.

I hit three Targets yesterday as well as one today and saw nothing in 1/18 other than Bradleys. It was funny because each store had exactly two of them on the shelf. I guess though I should consider myself lucky for finding one of the solid green Shermans a couple weeks ago, but jeesh, enough with t...

I would have to go with WWI. While I am a bit of a U.S. Civil War buff, I feel that WWI has been overlooked for far too long. The various countries that were involved in WWI could make for a great selection of 1/18 figures. Not to mention, some artillery and armor for the period would be awesome.

Target Clearance

I tried a couple times and couldn't get it to work either. I hit three different Targets today, and they were wiped clean of BBI stuff. The only thing I came home with was one of those Schleich castles which were originally $150, but today it was $37 on clearance. This castle looks like it will be a...

Howdy guys, first time poster here. I was able to take advantage of the Target clearance today as well. I managed to pick up the last M1A1, two LAVs and two HUMVEEs for a total of $30. I generally stick to WWII stuff, but I just couldn't pass up those bargains. By the way, I only had to knock down t...
