Well, it looks very good, but I'm curious as to why it wasn't released in a more "standard" gray paintscheme? Nevertheless, there is no shortage of DAK figures to crew it, and the Artillery Spotter's gear will work on those as well as any other figure :wink: Can't wait to see one in person :D

Man, usually the start of the new year is dead toy-wise. But this year is off with a bang. The FOV figures, the 21C two-packs (which I'm still hunting for), and now this beast. WOW! Especially in the DAK scheme. Please, oh please, let there be some Brits for this beauty to target/be taken by.

scheme

Post by ARMY GROUP 1 » Fri Jan 04, 2008 9:17 pm

Thank goodness its still on the front burner and looking at the packaging, suggests it could turn up at any moment as a completed item, just shove it in a box already 21ST. Would have rather seen gray first, the DAK scheme will for me mean 2 only needed.

I like it a lot better than that goofy quad on the trailer. The quads are stacked up to the ceiling at TRU and I hope they stay there. :?

indeed it does look good. Looks like it comes with at least 2 ammo crates and probably 6-9 shells. Looks like no figure included.

DAK wouldn't have been my choice for an S1 scheme, as i think it will mean fewer units sold initially, as everyone seems to want the dark grey more. I plan to get six 88's altogether but just one DAK, 4 dark grey and one dark yellow/camo.

Any guesses on price?

After looking over the low res photo (I saved on my desk top) for quite sometime now, I have to admit the amazing attention in detail. I mean, this is a quality you would most likely find in a plastic or resin model kit, not a collectable item.

Kudos to 21st Century! :D

Looks awesome. I would be more than happy if it came in at the $30 TRU vehicle price. :D
