I LOVE that truck. But has FOV increased prices? It's $64.

I'd sure love to have a duece an' a half, but $64? That seems high. I'd really like to have several, as trucks are always so useful, and almost always outnumber tanks, but at that price convoys will be hard to come by.

did u get that off michtoy? cause not to speak ill of them but they tend to have their prices on the higher range of the spectrum. (just wondern cause thats where i saw it too)

Yes but they also often discount items (based on demand)
Either way, it doesn't matter. I bet we see this one in the action line for $25 at Target.

Where can I get that truck? I would really like to have one of those.

Oh man that is one sweet Deuce and a Half! I wish they would improve their figures. The only set I've found that wasn't crap was the set with the Paratroopers and German POW's. Too many Gumby looking guys and bent to hell weapons.

I will drop $45 maybe $50 for that truck but not $65.

Yes, your right it is off Michtoy. And I too hope that the price will decrease as I'd really like to have at least 2 of these so I could make a little convoy.

I hate how they put one good figure in with the crap ones? Was the same with the wia and medic!

FOV has a lot of figures that could make up sets, tank riders and crew would be a great set, they could easily do a US and German set, possibly two of the latter no problem?

Now that they're not releasing a Stryker, I may as well help myself to a deuce-and-a-half later this year along with the Elefant

Mind you, the cost'll hurt just a lil bit, but I guess I can manage.

I hear you with the medic set.

Your right that they have some awesome figures but they still keep making figures that look like some kid crafted them from Playdoh. Themed sets would be great if the figures were all good. Also, why they continue to make the weapons from that gummy plastic is beyond me.

The Elefant is a must buy for me! I can't wait!

Thanks Colonel, that truck is WOW sharp. FOV really outdid themselves on this one. Of course, they really outdid the price too.

$65 for a truck, I don't think so. That is like four FW-190s or three P-38s from 21C!

(Subtle hint here 21C)

Looks good cant wait to get it! At most I would probably only get 2 but will see unless they show up at TRU then I will get more.

I also agree about those figures they need to do better ones. That set with the wire cutter is neat but take those ugly figures out!!!

ostketten · Post by **ostketten** » Fri Feb 22, 2008 6:08 am

The deuce and a half looks very nice, and yes $65 is a tad steep on the price, but I suspect that is for the enthusiast version, which will likely be a bit cheaper through outlets like TRU, and the action grade, if produced, will be lower still. Even at $65 I'd probably score one, just because no one else I'm aware of makes this model in 1:32, and it's a very important vehicle historically.

Watch me drop $62 for that very reason (nobody else makes one) and then walk into WM the very next day and find a new unannounced 21C version for $15.

Dunno about the Deuce, but the BadCat site is saying the Elefant has been pushed back to a July release, "with further delays expected" so an August release at the very minimum would make sense on the deuce since it was announced after the Elefant, it's a real bummer too, because I'm up for at least one of each, even at $50 a pop.

It sure looks nice, but a 2 1/2 ton truck for more than a FOV Flak 88? Sorry, I'll pass on that one and wait. If and when 21st does their version (if they do as good of a job as they did on their Opel trucks) I'll be happy (and have $40 left in my pocket).
