LOL.

What a great idea!! Share the cost and share the space of housing all of these 1:18 beauties. Count me in!

Me too, it is interesting that some items show in large numbers and hang around for a while and others come and go and you never see them again.

I figure I have a snowballs chance in hell at seeing either item in my local Walmarts. Out of four stores only two even carry 1:18 vehicles.

I wish Toys R Us still carried 21st Centuy items. Having only one real world retailer for the line really makes it hard to collect affordably.

It wasn't packed in a case of one so there had to be more at some point....either a variety or more of the same. Let's remember, just because we don't recon something doesn't mean it doesn't exist...there are buyers out there who are not on this board...

Yep, that's the truth. As far as I know, there is one other Tucsonan on this board. Yet, between Walmart and TRU, BBi and 21C stuff just disappears.

Maybe tomorrow I'll brave Walmart again to find me a PAK40. Wish me luck.

Good luck, Morian Miner!

@tko211: I can't wait for your next posting. Maybe you already got some nice pictures of the Hanomags, you could show us? I really hope you have picked all three of them up.
Also it would be interesting to know how much they are at Walmart.

"playability and diorama opportunity with the "bride" is very very cool"

TKO, I thought you said it didn't come with a figure?

tko211 · Post by **tko211** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:25 pm

HOLY COW!!!!! All 4 new Halftracks found!

I had a fellow XD friend with me last night as my "wing man". You should have seen the looks on the Wal-Mart employees' faces as they saw us do "rock / paper / scissors" to determine who would get what pieces!

Here is what I got...

Stuka Zu Fuss halftrack
M16 motor gun carriage halftrack

My buddy got the other 2 (pioneerwagen and Pak-40 hanomags)

It looks like these are shipping 4 to a case and 1 of each type.

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:28 pm

Great, now I have zero chances to find any, since my only shopping is in Long Island, and I can only drive there once a week

There are way too many collectors in LI, right LI guys?

tko211 · Post by **tko211** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:32 pm

I will put up detailed pics of both the Stuka Zu & and the M16 later tonight... Digger, can I have you help me again please?

It would be cool if your friend would let you make some pics of his 2 halftracks, too. The camo pattern of the Panzerpionierwagen is different than the prototype. I'm curios if if the other halftracks are also different from what we've seen.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:34 pm

TKO, I think you need to sell Digger one of your M-16 halftracks as payment for posting your pics, now that you have two

I have a feeling these may be (or were) in my area and I'll be checking stores again on Thursday. Again, I hope these are not a one-shot deal and go to multiple stores in a given area like the previous halftrack releases... I really want that M-16 and Pak-40 Hannomag

Like I always do I'd like the sku #'s please

KWR190 · Post by **KWR190** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:36 pm

Yes I would like the sku# also to see if my WM will be getting these in.

Just sent photos to Digger... Lets see how fast he gets these up!

Thanks again digger for your help! I am sure everyone will appreciate it!

Here are the bar code numbers

M16- 6 38748 10106 4

Hano Stuka Zu Fuss- 6 38748 10108 8

Man I just got the vanilla Hanomag like two weeks ago before I even knew about these and it's still in the box. I'm gonna return that to WM and try to find the Pioneer Hanomag or the Maxon mount m16.

Room is at a premium at my place and I would rather have those than the vanilla versions. I guess nobody in FL has spotted any so far though.

boy i am salivating to get these new halftracks (excpet the pionierwagen of course

).

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 9:07 pm

Holy crap! I want all four of those little beasties. I better start saving now for Christmas. I have to give 21st Century a hand for getting this stuff out well before the holidays.

Sorry for the delay boys, been busy this eve but wasn't going to leave you hanging. Gotta say that after seeing the pics the Stuka version looks unreal:

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 9:44 pm

Wow! Those both look great. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Jay · Post by **Jay** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 10:05 pm

Wow, the M16 looks like a dream. I can definitely say that a few are going to be heading down this way when available. For me, the m16 is a "must have" vehicle so I'm so glad it's been made.

Well, I agree, they are a MUST HAVE!!!

OMG
I am going to have to have a smoke and a shower after those pictures!
And I don't even smoke!
Way to go 21st Century Toys!

Rowsdower · Post by **Rowsdower** » Wed Oct 18, 2006 7:53 am

Are the top rear panels on the M16 able to be swung down? They should fold down to provide easier access to the system and a larger area of movement for the guns when set up for firing.

Heres what they should look like.

Please don't get me wrong, it is otherwise great looking but I don't think I will be purchasing this model if they don't.
