TKO, was that 5 minutes ago test article pacific or eastern time

just having fun. I'm looking forward to announcment, this will be great news for the collector and 21st as well.
OK so that will be 3 AM on the right coast and 12 mindnight on the left coast. Sounds good to me.
Any news on the Avenger? my Father- inlaw has been asking me for the last 2 years. He served in the South Pacific, flying in them during the war.
I'd like to give him one while He's still with us ...... had 2 hart attacks last month and is 83.
I'll check in this AM.

A reworked Hanomag? Well that seems a tad conservative in light of the hype and resultant anticipation...but...no, I'm sure it's a very nice reworked Hanomag...and um...I guess you want to save the really amazing stuff for later in the year...right?

Soooo sleepy now...

I planed to do one myself... so that's great news for me. It seems to be a very good model with working assault bridge and a realy detailed gun

Thanks 21st Century and I will stay tuned for other great news

Well, on the bright side, at least it's not a straight repaint! I'll take a retool over a repaint any time!

As for figures, I have my fingers crossed for Afrika Korps!

And while I'm wishing, I'd like a Horch Kfz 15.

Anything on the "big" scale? 1/6 or 1/9 vehicles????

A reworked hanomag is hardly coming out swinging. A King Tiger! Now that would have been coming out swinging!

A KT would have been coming out with a shotgun. I'm pleased; they could have announced a 32x repaint.

Finally new armor. I think before the WC-51 the last 1:18 armor released (by any company) was...

I'll take two please.

Now to just get WM into NYC...

I really like the new Hanomag, but I am a bit disappointed.

"Turning the tide on the military toy industry" hardly...

I expect something new, big, and amazing, like a T-34 or Koingstiger.

I am not angry at 21st century toys, and will always be a loyal fan, but dont make titles like that. (Im not trying to be negative)

Then again, they could be saving the excitement for later

The Pioneerwagon is a start.. Tko and 21st said there would be a "number" of coming announcements, and this is just the first of many.. I actually would have been more excited about new 32x stuff, but I bet this will make many XD vehicle guys happy for once...

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 9:02 am

You know, I took another look at the poineerpanzerwagen, and I simply love it!

It's a beauty, and they took off the extra tracks on the front!

Now if 21st Century could only add the second headlight!

I love, ignore what I said in the post above

Wait, you have already abandoned your own advice? We actually hear about something new and unbeknownst and it's a ho-hum? What happened to expecting a "slow build" of new info?

EDIT - Jason, did not see you there, welcome!

Finally a new member that is an actual person.

yes but after i said that TKO said this:

Announcing the .... (sorry you all have to wait a few more hours) The first article will not be a dud! Not after all the hype! Roy Sutherland said this to me last night.

"Lets come out swingin for the first one"

Which kinda changed my expectations, and dare i say, the expectations of many others..

It is an awesome vehicle and I love the small bore pak. Of course I'll buy two. Hopefully we'll get one in that elusive winter paint scheme.

I too just hope we haven't reached the upper limits of "coming out swinging."

Still hoping for some Red armor.
