New FOV items ????
So many of us WWII folks are waiting to see(and maybe own) the upcoming Tiger I and Sherman tanks. My question then is, "Ok, so we'll see some tanks, will we see WWII soldiers and other vehicles ???". I may be out of the loop some of the time, and maybe missed the announcements from FOV, but is there going to be more WWII items from FOV and is there a site for FOV that they could be viewed ??? THanks, Da General

No news at the FOV website, in fact they don't even mention any of the 1:18 stuff they've already released. I have not seen or heard any news here or elswhere about the Shermans or Tigers. I was hoping these would be out in time for Xmas, but alas it doesn't look very promising at the moment.

WWII stuff
How are we surprised they are not out if we never knew when they were due out? I think we all know that the back of a box is not a good indication of how close something is to release.

I emailed them back when the M3, M1, and Modern Figures started showing up. The response I got was that the Tiger and Sherman are coming and more 1/18 stuff is in store. I wasn't given a release date or time frame but the response did say keep your eyes peeled next year......Razor17019 wrote:I emailed them just now to ask about the Tiger and Sherman.
Has anyone else tried this?
If so, any response?
Go Ugly Early in 1/18!!
Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.

Here is what I just got back on the Sherman and Tiger:
I asked:
On the back of the package shows WWII Tiger and Sherman 1/18 scale tanks.
When will these tanks be in Target's stores?
Are they available somewhere else?
Mark,
They won't be available until late Winter/early Spring. Target only.
Kind Regards,

I too am excited to see these show up, but I don't mind a bit of a wait. Somehow the anticipation of seeing something new in a few months is better than getting everything I want all at once. I need a bi-monthly fix and would hate to OD on every new release all at once.
Hopefully FOV does a better job hitting it's timetable on 1/18 than their history with 1/32. I don't think they have ever released their yearly smaller scale stuff on time.
