Oh, good! The Shermans have crossed the continental divide and appeared in the west. I hope its not too long a wait now

Will do kimtheredxd i didnt get a chance to go to the Olympia Target yet still hoping to find a Tiger

More like the FOV Shermans flew over the Divide, since they and the Tigers and WWII figures haven't shown up around the Missouri/Kansas line yet. I am beginning to feel that Target has a worse or at least as bad distribution system as Walmart. It is frustrating not to find things while in other parts of the country Taget is already clearancing them out.

I think the supreme commander who is leading the Sherman cattle drive is confused and lost.

The Targets here in SW PA finally got the WW2 FOV figures in, but no sign of any Shermans.

They removed all modern FOV figs, despite having a peg or two full before the switch over. They didn't even go on clearance prior to the change, which is what I was anticipating.

The same store is restocking Bradleys though, so I have no idea what is going on with these stores here.

Well, I did not follow one of the collector codes 101:
"if you see something on the shelf and you hesitate to get it...more than likely it will be gone the next you go there."
I lost the Tiger Panzer that I had 'hesitated' on at Target! Man, what a bummer! This is twice this has happen to me! Any other Panzers spotted in Texas?

Silverdale WA Target finally got some WW 2 figures there was four kinds two of each I just picked up the German bazooka guy and the American Mike McCullough(not much into figures is why. ) No Sherman's yet

. But all the 19.99 fovs were marked down to 17.99, 29.99 planes were 24.99.

I visited one Target in Northern, CA today and all they had was a marked down camo Bradley and several of the US Marines. Looked pretty

Bravo Team Shermans finally showed up at the local Target and they were Temporary Price reduction to $17.99. Most of the other FOV smaller items were also reduced by $1 or $2

If I see 4 more Bradleys at Target, I'm going to see Karl Malden in my dreams...

Found some of the FOV ww2 figures in Target. I picked up all the Germans (5 different ones) I guess I'm just missing one. I opened these up and I am very impressed with them. I need to find more...I'll be buying every single one of the guy with the MP-40. I need to go back and get the US troops as well. These figures are very well done.

For our NW forum members I was excited tonight when I picked up the only two tone FOV Sherman at the Olympia Target. It was on the shelf with one Bradley.

My guess is they get these two to a box? I did check the Tacoma Target yesterday and there was nada. My guess is they are beginning to trickle in up here.

Good hunting.

just bought another dessert Abrams.

funny thing it says: "No Item Found (something)"

then i ask the associate to do a look up on his scanner gun, and it came out for $7.48.

i wished it was priced lower, but i walked out with my fov abrams.

now i got 3 abrams!

Not bad by any means - and to think, the same tank is currently being sold at various small retailers for nearly $50!

Still no FOV WW2 figs seen at the Target in South Portland, ME. I have been there a half dozen times in the past two weeks specifically lookin' fer the little plastic buggers all to no avail. Damn. Patience is the watchword I suppose. Needless to say there are no WW2 FOV tank sightings to report either. All that's available in FOV 1/18 are the modern figs- of which I have two complete sets already- and a very forlorn desert Bradley (have one of those already too).

Jesse James · Post by **Jesse James** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 9:25 pm

I happened upon some FOV figures tonight... Nice German figures, definitely the best of the lot. The GI's are neat, but they're inaccurate I guess... Bummer. Nice sculpt details, but the accuracy is just not there I guess.

The Germans though, wowza! Worth every penny.

Finally getting WWII figures in CT and NY. I picked up four each of German and US figures. Still no Shermans, although I don't care because I just want the WWII guys so I can swap their heads onto modern figures to get a more varied modern army.

Jagdplastic · Post by **Jagdplastic** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 5:53 pm

I found the FOV 1/18 scale WWII Germans and Americans at the Cary Crossroads Target this afternoon. I think I cleaned out the Germans; I got 1 each of the six Germans. I left the Americans. No 1/18 Shermans or Tigers.

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 7:50 pm

I found 10 FOV 1/18 WWII figs at my local Target.
4 Germans and 6 US
PM me if you can't find them in your area and you are eligible to buy on the board.

grockwood · Post by **grockwood** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:24 pm

hecked out three local Super Targets last night and today and found the WWII figures in only one of them . The Overland Park store had two sets. Now there is one.

General Blasto · Post by **General Blasto** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:59 pm

FINALLY, FOV WWII figures shown up in my AO

Only saw 8 at my Target and I horded them all

So, I will have to hunt them down here now and recruit them

For our NW board members: today I saw another two-tone camo 1/18 FOV Sherman at the South Hill Target. I did not pick it up as I already have one and I am not too impressed with the tank. I think I will flesh out my growing 1/18 army with 21C/BBI Shermans as I can get them.

For $17.99 it is a good buy. My guess is if you haven't seen them yet you will soon.
