Plethora of 1/72 Dragon Hitting Shelves!

Post by WGP Klaus » Sun Jan 02, 2005 6:11 am

Been a busy last couple of months at my local hobby shops. They've managed to get the following Dragon 1/72 Items:
-Countless Aircraft - 109's, P47D and "M",F-15C/D/E's
-Armor up the wazooo -
Two different Bradleys, Tigers, Chally's,Abrams, and just found yesterday, the Iraq 2003 version of the Challenger II, and the Leopard 2A5, both nice pieces I might add.

All these pieces are coming fast and furious, now if they could just update their site and get the F-14, and F-18D's out! :-)

1:72 Dragon

Please, no more armor special versions (travel lock up or down). :(
Tired of dealing with Cyber Hobby, they should release these limited editions through Dragon's existing dealer network.
I would also like to see a new redemption plane for 2005, how about the F-18 USMC Hawks which hasn't been released. :D
Anyone know about this "2004 Year End Finale" on the CH website???

I'd second that, but I'd like to see a WWII plane for the rewards program.. :wink:

I'm going to have to make a trip to my retailer.

I had also given up on the CH stuff, until they came out with the Wittmann Kursk Tiger. Too sweet to pass up, it was his first Tiger I, in the biggest tank battle ever fought.

Confused by previous statement

The Dragon limited editions (Ferdinand, Elefant, Jagdtiger and Abrams)
are issued/sold through the retailer network - CyberHobby offers the
Exclusives (Wittmann - multiple variations, Carius, Ritter, Ardennes King
Tigers).

Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't confused ....

The CyberHobby year-end finale is a special 4-figure set (1/6th scale)
called 'Ambush at Poteau (Ardennes 1944)' - includes a snow-covered
display base with four (4) German panzer-grenadiers that have been
displayed standing around talking and smoking. Includes a special
edition box with art by Ron Volstad. One of the figures is Rudolf - many
are hoping they will redo Rudolf's headsculpt (updated). By special
invitation only - only 250 are being offered.

I picked up the desert Challenger, the woodland Bradley, and the Leopard 2A5. All are very nice. The Leopard is probably my favorite of the lot.
