Hey this is something we all didnt expect, but they sure will be a nice addition to the arty. Could this also mean we might see tank crew later? Or tank riders?

ok now i am just angry. I am so sick of not being able to view that site considering I collect all their stuff for 8 years now. One day this past year I just stopped getting in and I thought for awhile they had been bought out or gone under, but no.


I just turned now off my firewall and anti virus and still couldn't get in so I am going to stop before I spike into another techo rage incident like I had earlier tonight with an automated phone system while trying to pay my bill. Let's just say our 3 phone system, now has 2 handsets

21C artillery crews...

Looking pretty good! I like the idea of having gun crews for the heavy guns. The guys look good and are not burdened with packs and infantry equipment - the actually look like "redlegs". I'm also VERY happy about the ammo - I was having a hard time finding 8" ammo in 1/32nd scale.

Cade, this has nothing to do with you pc. This is totally their site issue. This subject has been talked about before and it deals with their hosting site.

This is great news on the figures, these look sweet and I will be getting at least one of each set. As for the 21C website, I can echo all the complaints everyone else has, they must have it on very slow server or something. :roll:

It's a great new!

But I don't see differences between the 2 sets below, and the 2 others

General Custer, the only difference is that one of the sets has 8 instead of 6 shells. I'm actually really pleased about this, I hope German artillerymen are in the making, or like was mentoned above, tank riders...

Yes but between sets 21103 and 21108 ?

Excellent news with those sets! I was using the US mortar crew figures (some with slight modifications) that came with all the recent playsets as crews for my Long Tom and 8-in Howitzer, but these new figures are perfect. Hopefully, they will show up long before the Chinese infantry. The crew figures are far more useful.

I also agree with the above statements that hopefully we will see some tank riders, even new tank crew figures eventually.

Score! :D

I am so glad to see 21C doing these figures. Just think if we can get tank rides and crews! They may not sell well at WallyWorld but just think how these would fly off the shelves at the e-tailers!

Good call Roy. Please pass the work TKO... :wink:

Yes,
figures that interact with environments instead of being plain old infantry would be most welcome.
I just wish they would model their faces after someone besides Yul Brenner every once in awhile............

its like an army of "West World" robots
