I was going to post a scathing message, however, one of the two TRUs in my area did get in 3 Sherman Fireflys! Its a start. I echo MG-42's sentiments that I hope this isn't some sort of "test distribution" thing. My area TRUs never got the first wave of the BBI WWII figures and I hope they don't repeat that with the larger 21c stuff. I guess I'll go back in a week or two...

Confirmed OC CA
Yes can confirm the re-arrival of 21st back at TRU central OC, CA this morning.
4 PAK-40s, a peg full of German figs (2 DAK and 1 of the camo top and grey bottoms - good HS by the way.) and plenty of weapons packs (1:6) and 1:32 items.
Interesting find. Was hoping to see something new on the back of thebox of the PAK but just the 2 migs and half track quad .50s.
Good to see that the figures are $5!
Yeah tman...that 1:32 Firefly looked great..now we all need an enlarger machine..that goes up to 1:18 scale..and for those of us with unlimited budget (which probably means no one here)...up to 1:1 scale too!

HAHAHA, I posted the same thing in the TRU sticky. I think we have one two many TRU threads...
Great stuff though. I was completely siked when I found the Hanomag. They also had a new paint scheme 1:32 ME 262 and a new paint scheme P-40. At least they looked new to me. The P-40 has shark teeth on it. I did notice that the figures looked a bit different than the Wal Mart figures. They looked to have more weathering or more paint on them. I almost thought they were repaints. I did like the new German figure though. I grabbed 2. They also had a bunch of 1:32 Sherman’s. I think Fireflies. Anyway, it was a great feeling leaving TRU once again with a 21C find.
On a different note, has anyone had trouble buying their hanomags? Mine wasn’t in the computer yet so it took them 15 minuets to ring me up. Since they couldn’t find a price they gave it to me for $14.99!!!!!

Same experience when paying for my "Tex" Hill P-51...got it for $17.99. Not bad...all i need is a 1/18 version to go with my PH P-40s.toyktdlgh wrote:On a different note, has anyone had trouble buying their hanomags?

Could one of you fine gents scan and post the bar code on the bottom of your pak hanomag? The items numbers posted previously look like they might be TRU numbers not the actually 21C #.
It should be 101XX. Thanks!

TRU in NH
I stopped at my TRU near my work and first went to the area where the BBI stuff is. there was lil BBI stuff but next to it there is a huge gap just waiting for 21st century to move in. so i then went up to customer service desk and first asked to talk to the action figure salesman, but he has left for the day. i then ask the CSA to look up the Item # of the 1:18th scale vehicles and what came up was that they didn't have any, and it was active. the computer reckonized that it was 21st century military vehicles. so i just have to wait a few more weeks and hopefully toys r us will be seeing more of me. i think on the next day i have to work i'm going to see if i can talk to the associate that works that department and get some info out of him. will keep you all posted.
new german kicks a$$
WOW - that new German fig is the best since the FJ. Very cool - HUGE improvement on the first camo guy. I need that sucker!

Looks like the DAK are Series 2. Completely different paint scheme (at least in as much variety as DAK allows lol
). Uniforms and hats are more of a true mustard yellow than the S1, no "suntan" or weathering on the skintone, eagle is silver vs. yellow, webbing is DAK green vs yellow as well. Oh and the leggings aren't Gatorade green anymore..
Looks like 21C is going the same route with the Germans as they did the Marines. Very cool..

Thanks for posting this pic, grunt1! These new colors look great. I think this new version looks also a lot better then the first one. Now I'm really curious how the rest of the D-Day line is looking riht now at TRU. By the way: Is the coat the same color as version 1?
And again - it is spelled WeHrmacht, guys...

Finally
I made a TRU haul with the new 21c products!! Of course the only 21c stuff to be had between the two TRU stores in my Fresno/Clovis area are 3 Sherman Fireflys, but having few commitments this afternoon, I went to the next closest store 40 miles south in Visalia, Ca.
I don't count this store as being within my area and only check it when going on my occasional road trip to So. Cal. This time around it was worth it. The military toy section was very well stocked, better all around than any of the two Fresno TRUs. The scene looked pretty much like the pictures above and ranks as one of the coolest new selections of 21c stuff I've ever come across
I picked up a Pak-40 Hanomag, 4 Otto Windorff figures, the 32x Italian figures, and the 32x "Bullfrog" P-51B. Checkout was tricky as the products were not in the system.
Now I can rest easy once again
