Small Scale Military Headquarters

It's good to see that there are still some little life in the 1/18 figures.

Im new here but have been collecting 1:18 for about 2 months, i am still trying to get a Tiger 1 tank, desert Abrams, got all the other vehicles and figures including paratroopers.

Welcome aboard! You may have to wait awhile before getting the FOV Tiger tank. There seems to be little chance that FOV will re-release the Tiger in the near future.

I need the Desert Abrams any one have one to sell, also any links to 1:18 dioramas? I am looking to build a COD4 replica with my bravo team.

Hello evilanimation & welcome! Try this link for dioramas: http://store.foxholetoys.com/ourphotosenjoy.html

Dying to get a Tiger also, If the KT comes out, I will definitely not let it slip away!!

I went to the Target at the mall in Milford, CT yesterday. I picked up two each of the four new FOV paratroopers.

They also had some of that other series, but frankly after looking at those I decided not to get any. I liked the little personal details on them, like the glow sticks and whatnot, but the quality of the molding is poor and, more importantly, they are not really 1/18 scale. Put next to the FOV guys they are way too big, and the FOV guys themselves are already a hair larger than BBI or 21C figures. So that series is a pass for me.

On the other hand, the new paras are pretty sweet and I'm sure I will get more as time passes. Now I just have to wait til the Stryker comes along around here.

I have a friend from Milford!!!

Has anyone seen or heard any new information regarding when the 1/18 Scale Stryker? Is it still supposed to be released?

Chad

The 1/18 Stryker is still scheduled to be released this spring.

how come the striker isnt showing up on the unimax website?

I picked up the set of Marines and Army 1:18 figures, everything is great except some of thier hands suck at holding weapons and i would have loved an extra sidearm or knife instead of MRE's

i've just noticed the upcoming Special Forces figs at Foxholetoys (http://store.foxholetoys.com/brte1scmose.html) anyone seen them at retail ?

picked up all 4 of the ranger paratroopers, I like the chin straps on the helmet although sadly one of the guys chin straps fell off coming out of the packaging. Makes them look cooler. Now just awaiting the delta boys.

Any word on the Bravo Team Tiger? I have never seen on down here in South FL.

I haven't heard any updates on the FOV Tiger I but I keep seeing US halftracks and Shermans at local Targets.

havnt seen a halftrack since before christmas i think but most stores have 4-5 shermans and 3-4 abrams at all times -

Most of the stores in my area have 1-2 Shermans, 1-2 Bradleys and maybe one or two other odds and ends. I have yet to see an Abrams at retail.

are you talking about the 1/18 tiger tank? ive seen it here and there, most vehicles can be found around here

I did a western Palm Bech County Toy run yesterday. Most of the WWII FOV figs are disapearing, with mianly modern figures still filling the pegs. I'm hoping Unimax will offer some repaints in their WWII line.

The orlando area is the same way, no wwII figs. Tons of modern figs.

I hope unimax makes new wwII figs soon.

I'm seeing a lot of 1:18 armor disapearing off the shelves. The modern figs have been selling well also. I'm seeing just a couple of the WWII US soldiers, but no Germans. I bought the bulk of the Germans myself. I wonder if this is the result of a 1:18 starved market? Hopefully this line is selling well nationwide, and it's not just a regional fluke. I'd like to see this line expanded and hopefully the Tiger will return.

Try checking Targets at a important major city or check a few Targets at another county to find the large box vehicles.
The distribution varies in my AO from what I've seen in LA and OC. LA is rather scarce for 1:18 vehicles, very few stores carry the medium size vehicles (Sherman, Bradley, M16).
While OC being the most abundant with nearly every store carrying medium size vehicles and every "other" store carrying the large size vehicles (Abrams).. weird..

Anyways, I bought two more M16s to show my support to Unimax, I now have three. I can't wait for the LAV-25 to be released!

Funny that you have the larger vehicles in So Cal. There are six stores in Fresno, with most having a mixture of the medium sized vehicles such as the Sherman and M16s. Last week, I was passing through So Cal, stopped at a random Target (Brea) and they had the M1s. It has been well over a year since I saw one at a Target in my area.

Not that it really matters to me, though, as I have both the Bravo Team 1:18 M1s in desert and woodland cammo and don't need any more

I have combed all of the Targets in cental IL and never seen a hint of a tank, only midsized stuff, mainly Bradleys and 1 halftrack. I gave up and bought a M1 off eBay...

I have seen alot of M1 at almost all the Targets in my area. They mostly have the woodland camo version but I managed to find a desert version, they had two at the time. If anyone needs one I can pick one up for them just PM me.
