I posted some weapon comparison shots between Dragon, 21C and FoV here:

The raketenpanzerbuchse (bazooka) is the right size and is not taller than the figure.

Another Target in my area also got in the WWII figures. Again, these look great and I'm most impressed with the Germans

I just can't seem to justify spending money on more American troops, when I've got plenty of BBI US soldiers, never mind the 21c ones...

the us troops seem to be wearing the late war army uniform, which was starting to become common in '45 and thereafter, ie korea.

Now can you justify more US troops Tman?

No Sherman in my Houston Target---and no more BBI. I did find one FOV Bradley, figures and diecast vehicles.

hotrodrock · Post by **hotrodrock** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 6:10 pm

Made 5 Targets in the south Dallas area today (Waxahachie, Mansfield, Red Bird, Grand Prairie) and not a single Tiger. Did manage to get the 6 new German figures. Wasn't overly impressed with the cammo figures. Probably repaint them and add a shot of Dull Coat.

dragon53 · Post by **dragon53** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 6:13 pm

HOTRODROCK:

I visited 2 Houston Targets this week in search of a Sherman, but found none--only found 1 Tiger and 1 Bradley.

kimthered/KWR190/other WA members: There is hope!

Today I hit the Tacoma, South Hill Puyallup and Lakewood Targets and came up with nada on new FOV armor, but I did get the entire set of 12 WWII at the Puyallup Target. Better yet, I did not notice until I got home that they only charged me for 10! I am not sure I am honest enough to go back and point out the error.

They must come a complete set to the case because I cleaned them out. At the Lakewood Target someone had already gotten to them before me but I got the only pea camo German they had and left six US and two feldgrau soldiers on the rack.

At both of these Targets the WWII took the place of the modern soldiers so I am thinking we will see mixes of product from here on out. Good hunting fellas...

Went to the Target in West Haven, CT today. They had six M1A1s, both the forest and desert ones, for $14. No WWII figures at all, but I did pick up a couple more modern Army FOV guys for customization purposes.

Does anyone know if the WWII figures head / necks are compatible with the Modern figures?

KWR190 · Post by **KWR190** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 3:20 pm

The Lacey,WA Target has the WW II Figs in I picked up all the German Guys and left the US the M1 tanks are marked down to $20.98 also.

kimtheredxd · Post by **kimtheredxd** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 5:03 pm

Hit Silverdale WA Target again. Still nothing new one BBI M1 still at $12.98 Fov ones 20.98 bought up all the WW2 paras except one or two.

Anyone found a new FOV Sherman at Target recently?
If so, what is the price?

STUKA · Post by **STUKA** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:23 pm

so far every target in My area has nothing WWII - still M1s at 14 and change and two stores just restocked the FOV modern troops - one store does have little grey stickers on the empty FOV pegs....

still waits

I have found nothing WW2 yet at any of the Houston area Targets. I'm getting really tired of looking and coming up empty-handed.

POKEYJTC:

Last week, I saw an FOV Tiger at the Target across the street from the Circuit City on San Felipe near the Galleria.

I share the frustration with our "bothers in arms" over this slow stocking at Target. I too have come up empty and the responce from Target employees is usually nasty if not worse. A couple treated me as if I was screaming at them when in fact, I was nice and just asking the question of when might you have these items. It's not fair the system of distribution Target(and other stores) is using. The West coast gets everything first, and what's left makes it's way East. So there must be little or nothing left by the time it makes it's way down here. I still think the SE is pumping loads of that modern crap to the stores before it will stock the WWII items

Hog wash and Horse feathers I say. So the only way to find it is by bleeding on Evil bay

If it doesn't show in a month as said, then I say it's false advertising and bad business if the supply can not meet the needs

Well, I hope to "Eat" my words by seeing these FOV WWII items show up. I just fear it will be like the Tigers and be discontinued before ever showing up

Ok, I'll crawl back under my rock now and be queit

Hey, did the 21st Dual packs ever make it out to the TRUs yet ???
I haven't seen any of them either
