New FOV at Target

In my area all the 1/32 was reduced. Last 1/32 vehicle I saw was $6.48. I picked it up. I'm pretty sure Target will not be carrying Action grade.. There's still T-R-U, but my last check didn't wow me. There's also Kmart and Meijers....

I gave up on trying to find an FOV 1/32 M60 Patton-NATO paint (Enthusiast) at Target and ordered it from Vladstoys. It just arrived (along with a BBI 1/18 MH-6 Little Bird helicopter and a Hobby Master 1/56 M1 Abrams). All three models look impressive.
A Target used be located four blocks from me, but several years ago it moved to the suburbs, and I got tired of going all the way to the new store to find nothing.

I just got back from doing some shopping at Target. I took a long, hard look at the Stryker but just couldn't convince myself to put it in the cart. They also had a M109, Abrams and Bradley, all of which looked ready for the Dollar Store toy department. The Stryker is a bit better but not much.

I sure hope I can find a Deuce and Elefant at TRU since it seems Target has given the action series the axe. At least I got my enthusiast in an action series box NATO camo M-60 from them before this craptastic turn of events.

A question about the FOV 1/32 M60 Patton---is the spare tread accessory supposed to attach to a specific part of the tank?

I'm not sure about the M60A3s with ERA (explosive reactive armor) but on many "standard" M60/M60A1/M60A3s the extra track links were often hung from the storage rail on the side of the turret - a center guide link was clamped over the rail and the top track shoes. Some vehicles carried the spare tracks attached to the rear stowage basket on the turret.

Yeah, I just have mine in the stowage on the back of the turret, there is no place that is is supposed to connect to that I can see.

BINDER001, ROWSDOWER:

Thanks for the info. I had put my spare tread in the stowage rack, but it looked sort of odd, so I decided to ask you guys.
