Small Scale Military Headquarters

Saw these today at a newly reopened Target on Balboa (San Diego). Same box as Sherman and Tiger(Bravo Team). Looked bigger then the 21st. Didn't know they were coming out with this.$21. Sorry if this is old news.

not old news at all, although there was a rumour about this at one time.

Another duplicate, sigh. Any pics of it? Did you look at the back of the box to see what else there might be that's new?

The back of the box just showed the Sherman and Tiger. I don't think there was anything new. Didn't look as detailed as the 21'st. No pic's, I didn't buy one

Did you buy one? Get some pics up if you did.

Quite a surprise! I'll have to scout for those.

7rounds is this the Half-track you saw at target?

Wow! Now that is news!!

I hope they start showing up down here soon.

I don't think thats the half-track I saw. That one looks more detailed. Is that the 1/32 one? The one I saw was 1/18.[/quote]

it's just a very optimistic picture of the 1/18 version. It's probably a reused picture of the 1/32 prototype.

I wonder if this means the Stryker will be showing up soon, as it was supposed to be released at the same time. The Tigers may be reappearing soon too.

7rounds this is the FOV 1/18 line.

great to hear about something new but why o why do the halftrack? 21C did a great job and they're still available! Really a poor choice, but I trust [hope] they know what they're doing.

I was hoping they'll do King Tiger or Jagdpanther first...

i would like to see a tiger already.

Awesome! Good to see the west coast score first! Hopefully the Stryker shows up here first too!
I'll see if I can schedule a road trip this weekend...

If nothing else this will be something new to pick up. I did stop at Target the other night with Tigers in my eyes, but I came away empty handed. Nothing new.

Very nice to know the first sighting was in California Hopefully the new FOV vehicles will get better distribution than the 21c items did. I'll remain wary until I see one in person, however. I doubt I'll get one as the 21c version is so nice and I have two of those. The FOV Stryker, on the other hand, will be a must if and when it comes out.

Description says "working suspensions".

Since the 21st century one has rigid suspensions, either this is a misprint, or an interesting improvement. Would like to know more about it.

I'll take one for sure. Repeat or not there's nothing armor wise in stores around here except the Zu-Fuss.

While I like to see any new piece of armor, I'd sure rather see FOV (or anyone else) come up with something we haven't see before.

How about a Scout Car? How about a M-8 or M-20 armored cars? How about another version of a half-track, like a mortar carrier or the M-15 (with the 37MM AA gun and the twin .50cals).

Somebody should use their imagination instead of coping what has been released before. We know FOV can do it......with their models.

Exactly - never saw the Tigers last year.

I saw two of these last night at Target but passed. They look very toy-like compared to the 21C M-16. The only thing I can think of is they would make for inexpensive custom bases. Hopefully this means that Tigers won't be far behind.

Have not seen these yet, but from what it sounds they should be in my area soon enough. They seem to be a west coast release this time Still, from the reports, I am not that excited and will most likely pass as I've already got two of the superior 21c versions.

No luck finding the M16 MGMC yet. I'll try again next weekend.
On the other hand, my mission wasn't a failure as I found and bought the new FOV 1:72 Battle Extreme packs, the King Tiger and soldiers set and also the Sd. Kfz. 251/1 half-track and 75mm Pak 40 set!

no half track here but the target shelves are full uf abrams and Shermans now gearing up for christmas - so more clearance armor comming soon...
