That thing looks awesome. Look at all that detail!

I'm glad to see it in this form.

Now the question is when and how much?

Well, it looks very good, but I'm curious as to why it wasn't released in a more "standard" gray paintscheme? Nevertheless, there is no shortage of DAK figures to crew it, and the Artillery Spotter's gear will work on those as well as any other figure

Can't wait to see one in person

Man, usually the start of the new year is dead toy-wise. But this year is off with a bang. The FOV figures, the 21C two-packs (which I'm still hunting for), and now this beast. WOW! Especially in the DAK scheme. Please, oh please, let there be some Brits for this beauty to target/be taken by.

WOW! That looks great.

[+] WoW ! ... That's just awesome ! * ... The New 88 in a DAK scheme for ( S-1 ) . *

* Good marketing scheme by 21st., into fooling everybody thinking it would be a Drk. Panzer Grey for ( S-1 ) instead , too. *

* Great Job 21st.Century ! *

* Edit :
-------> Wait ! ... Judging by the pic on their site , are'nt the markings a little off , for this to be DAK ?

Looks fantastic!

THANK YOU!!!!!

Finally!!! A piece I don't have to paint!!!!

Crap. Looks like I may have to pick up more than one while the DAK scheme is out.

grunt1 · Post by **grunt1** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 7:09 pm

Yes!!

This thing will hopefully get several repaints all of them well deserved.. I can already see the standard Gray, Camo, Winter, etc..

Thank goodness its still on the front burner and looking at the packaging, suggests it could turn up at any moment as a completed item, just shove it in a box already 21ST. Would have rather seen gray first, the DAK scheme will for me mean 2 only needed.

Yeah baby! Bring it on!

i buy one but i am waiting for a gray one or a snow one to pick up another...

i was thinking of getting three grays one but since this is a sandy color i just pick up one...

I like it a lot better than that goofy quad on the trailer. The quads are stacked up to the ceiling at TRU and I hope they stay there.

Looks good to me.

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 7:23 am

indeed it does look good. Looks like it comes with at least 2 ammo crates and probably 6-9 shells. Looks like no figure included.

DAK wouldn't have been my choice for an S1 scheme, as i think it will mean fewer units sold initially, as everyone seems to want the dark grey more. I plan to get six 88's altogether but just one DAK, 4 dark grey and one dark yellow/camo.

Any guesses on price?

Panther F · Post by **Panther F** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 7:44 am

After looking over the low res photo (I saved on my desk top) for quite sometime now, I have to admit the amazing attention in detail. I mean, this is a quality you would most likely find in a plastic or resin model kit, not a collectable item.

Kudos to 21st Century!

digger · Post by **digger** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 8:56 am

Looks awesome. I would be more than happy if it came in at the $30 TRU vehicle price.
