I'm guessing if the Abrams and Tigers return they will probably be at $32.99, probably the Stryker at that price too depending on it's size.

Yea i saw that the shermans are $21.99 here to

My target restocked with another set of modern guys. I think thats twice in one week.

I can confirm what everyone here has been saying about the restocking of the modern figures, the price hikes, and the end of the coupons.

It was so sad when I tried to use the $5 coupon and was denied. It would have really helped since I had scooped up all the modern figures they had at a local store.

I have been seeing the plain green Sherman resurfacing as well. I thought that was long gone.

I noticed many of the local Targets that where down to their last Sherman or had none left, now have been restocked with both Shermans and Bradley's.

i saw some Abrams being restocked at my local Target. both colors. so expect more of re-stocks of figs and armor.

not only that, i guess everyone noticed that Target is currently reseting their aisles and the whole toy dept. thus lots of stuff being clearanced and such. i guess that's the reason why FoV is eating more shelf space than the GI Joes that is still trying to catch up.

and btw, Target now carries those 1:18 scale WWE figs. for those who might need some heads to swap. go figure.

I was going to post a few days ago, yet have gotten busy with work, etc. But I haven't seen a mass restock, yet while at a newer Target I found a few modern guys, picked up 4 of them, but left 2 due to the paint flaws on the faces. I only bought them for the heads of course and shipped the bodies to another board memeber with 21st C heads

It would be nice, and I would buy a whole bunch of(say a dozen of each) new figures buy FOV that would have different heads. I think FOV should make tank crew figures for the WWII series as well as some officers for both series. I you make, I will buy

I just am always on a quest to make sure that my 1000+ figures all have different heads and don't look like clones

I just noticed that on some of my FOV Germans, that the paint on their face is starting to rub off when you take their helmet off.
The Target here hasn't started any re-sets yet in their toy aisle, at least as of last Sat.
I'll have to stop there today and check things out...

Did you see the price for the Abrams? Has it gone up or stayed the same?

Stug45 · Post by **Stug45** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 8:13 am

A couple of weeks ago the shermans were $21.99

now they are back down to $19.99

Dang, they are still $21.99 over here.

My targets got more Abrams in now, and there is no price increase on those yet.

same old $29.99 price.

but knowing target, they just go up and down, up and down, up and down.

LOL They probably might do that when the Stryker shows up.

They never reached $7.48 in SoCal. When they dropped to $20.98 they flew out right away along with the Tigers.

The Houston Target on Westheimer near the Wal-Mart has 2 FOV 1/18 Shermans (olive drab).

Lake Elmo target had several german figures and a green Sherman.

Sky Ray · Post by **Sky Ray** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 4:51 pm

The Pico Rivera Target has a lot of WWII German and U.S. Soldiers still hanging on the pegs, all of my Targets in my AO don't carry them any more so its a great find to find a Target still loaded with them.

Sky Ray · Post by **Sky Ray** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 5:13 pm

The Abrams and Bradleys have returned back to SoCal!
Spotted both of them at the Glendale Target at the Glendale Galleria Mall.
There are currently 2 desert camo Abrams, 1 woodland camo Abrams, and 2 desert camo Bradleys sitting on the shelf at the Galleria.
Just across from Glendale, the Eagle Rock Target at the Eagle Rock Plaza has 1 desert camo Bradley stocked.

Stug45 · Post by **Stug45** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 5:03 am

Been to 4 targets not seen any Abrams or Bradleys, Just shermans.

normandy · Post by **normandy** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 2:37 pm

I'd like a few of those FOV Tiger I's if they ever show up.

Sky Ray · Post by **Sky Ray** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 1:24 pm

One desert camo Bradley spotted along the 5 Fwy at the Norwalk Target.
Looks like my theory that the new 21stCT items are along the 5 Fwy is wrong, instead I'm finding more 1:18 FOV items instead.

dandaman · Post by **dandaman** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 8:19 pm

Am I to understand that the Abrams is showing up again?

Does...not..compute...

I keep reading these posts over and over again. Maybe you all meant to say Bradleys...yeah, that's it.

pokeyjtc · Post by **pokeyjtc** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 8:41 pm

I saw two Abrams yesterday at the Meyerland Target in Houston

General Blasto · Post by **General Blasto** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 6:27 am

Hmmm, as I recall the Tiger I was recalled

Only the one version came out, the two tone brown one - med. brown/tan. To my knowledge, the all tan one never made it out

I would hope that if FOV puts out the Tiger one again, they would do it in the tri-color Normandy scheme

I'd buy that one
