The 21st Century ones? How can they have something for preorder that is already out in the stores?

Are you kidding? Do you know how hard it is to find them in stores or on eBay for a reasonable price?

I've merrily pre-ordered both

Well, its about time! I got lucky and did find both at TRU, but only one of each, and they haven't been restocked in any number yet. The constant searching was a pain as well... I'm glad to see them going out to the smaller retailers, but wish it could have been sooner. I hope the avaliability issues of the Panzer 38 and Marder are not a sign of future trends... IMHO, 21c should really send new releases to the small retailers first, and then to the brick-and-mortar stores.

We had a few at the TRU in Douglasville, GA, and I imagine a few made it into Atlanta proper. They still have one 38 and I'm hoping the restock is coming soon because that store is empty in nearly every toy aisle. The WM's in my area have also been dumping out stuff plus a surprising amount of 1/18 old stock.

So no, I wasn't kidding; just didn't realize how scarce they actually were elsewhere. I should probably get that last 38 - I could DAK it up in honor of me playing Forgotten Hope 2.

Argh! Even Georgia has/had them!

maybe you're thinking of panzer ii's? No 38T's in N. Africa.

Ack! You're both right. I am thinking of the II.

Well I found 1 of each also, but I could use a few more.
