DFW Update
Got the Bruno (with prone head) and DAK range finder guy at WalMart today.
They had 2 more Brunos, some DAK kneeling MG guys, and at least one more DAK range finder. I didn't buy them all up so someone else could get what they need.

I've been cleaning out 2-packs to hopefully make room for the new DAK 2-packs at some point. Plus they were starting to dwindle some so I thought I better get my army building fix while I can on the "good deal" as it were.

With 21c getting back into the Vietnam era, figures based on the movie Platoon do not seem that far-fetched. If anything, 21c was trying to boost the sales and marketability of their new figures. The only downside is that they are being sold through Wal Mart, which with its craptacular distribution system, has sent tons of the figures to some parts of the country while other areas have yet to see them...Stug45 wrote: Why did 21st make the Platoon figures
was there a big demand for 21st to make these
No one is buying them, i wish they were never made.

Yes, they are out west I saw all three figures at the Fresno, CA TRU. I picked up two of the DAK machinegunners and three of the Bruno Bauer figures, but left the DAK Artillery spotter. I may go back for one, but only for the headsculpt and legs... That was last Friday.

Cool, I can't wait to see them up here. I received one of the new VN figures with the sculpted legs as a bonus in a trade with a fellow board member and I must say this feature is way cool. I can't wait to get my hands on more.tmanthegreat wrote:Yes, they are out west I saw all three figures at the Fresno, CA TRU.

Tman or anyone else on the West coast, have you seen any of the dual packs?

I have not seen any of the Dual Packs, nor the Platoon figures, in my area. The new DAK and Infantry figures I found at TRU. All of my local Wal Marts have the pegs overflowing with those second-series D-Day figures with the dark-tanned skin and lighter uniforms.

Old news for most of the country but to give hope to our west coast members, I just found and purchased a second set of Platoon figures tonight. They have not seen general distribution to all the WMs in my AO, and seem to be only a single case at at time but they are making their way to us.
No we just need the VN, DAK w/ moulded legs, two packs and now the MG gunner and sniper.

These still haven't shown at any of the six Wal Marts in my area, though there are a couple further afield that I should go and check. No real worry, though as I did get a set from a fellow boardmember from that region of the country where those figures are in abundance (along with seemingly everything else ) Nice figures!olifant wrote:Old news for most of the country but to give hope to our west coast members, I just found and purchased a second set of Platoon figures tonight.
