Or has this been posted before ?

I don't recall anyone posting this, but when some of these eventually make it to the West Coast, wouldn't that mean a reasonable supply of future Jagdpanthers?

Pickel, I think there has been a post about Panther 101. I'll also have to check my copy
of Military Issue, they had it listed....can't remember price. Interesting its in a 21st Cent. box.
As said, a new supply of Panthers.

[normandy]

Not much of an update but I found my copy of Military Issue (Winter 2015) and on
page 33 they offer this panther.
Its offered with what looks like the Merit tricolor-ed Tiger I (99042C) the Panther (M902547E),
online at their site the Tiger comes up.
When you type in the order # for the Panther it comes up, no products found.
Price is $99.95.

I seem to remember them showing up at least once on e-bay from a domestic source. And yeah, the Ultimate Soldier box is a little intriguing, are these...
a.) bootleg?
b.) found stock that was never released due to the demise of 21CT?
c.) somehow tied to the new lego-like resurgent Ultimatesoldierxd company?
d.) none of the above?

If only Spock was still with us to give answers...

It makes me wonder what happened to all the 1:18 King Tigers that were about to ship.....

Normandy, I think the King Tigers went here, along with the Ark....

Maritime, I wish I could have seen those pics of pallets filled with boxed KT's.

Well, if you're like me, you watch the Ten Commandments every year (the classic original with Yul & Charlton, of course), and so do believe in miracles. I have visions that the King Tiger shall one day appear along with the Jagdpanther. And if I'm dreaming, don't nobody wake me...

The two things about the KT that i never could figure out were: 1) at the time they were supposed to come out, my job had an account with 21st century. Now I don't remember her name but I remember the email from our contact / account manager telling us that they had switched up the shipping scheduled and the 88's were coming to us 1st with the KT to follow in January. (It was like October at the time ) Of course 21st century collapsed soon after, but with the lag time involved to manufacture toys, unless they were finishing up production there is no way they would have been able to say that the KT would be ready in January. 2) I had a conversation with The Woofer not too long after (I think Normandy did as well) ; where Everett said one of his contats from 21st century had emailed him pictures of the Chinese warehouse with loads of the ready to go shipping boxes filled with and marked King Tiger.

Maybe the aliens took them. LOL

I just hope it doesn't go the way of the 21st Panzer IV......
