Small Scale Military Headquarters

I've seen 2 1/2 ton trucks and the Elephant at my local TRU's. Even though I have a number of the trucks I've bought more. You can't really have enough and for about $25.... This is probably 'overstock' but I hope they start offering more of some of the older vehicles. Since new stuff is scarce or unlikely at least I can customize some of the vehicles.....

Funny, I've not seen the leftover elefants and trucks at my two local TRUs. Just MLRSs, HIMARS, Paladins, and the Assault Force Bradleys in 1:32.

Interesting,
I will have to check my local stores.

Never saw any Deuces or Elefants at my TRU. Just the same old rocket launchers collecting dust.

.......... it's that distribution thing again.

'Stopped at TRU today and found two of the Elephants mixed in with the modern FOV vehicles. I looked at one of them for quite a while but finally left it on the shelf. If there'd been a well-sculptured crew member or, perhaps, some interesting markings I probably would have picked it up.

They also had several of the older WWII 1/72 scale offerings such as the all sand colored Tiger I, the "tiger striped" Tiger II w/Porsche turret, and the M4A1 Sherman sans mineroller. The Tiger II looked better in my opinion than the original one I bought a few years ago.

It was great to see the older WWII stuff. If they're going to redo those vehicle, I'd love to see the 8-ton Sd.Kfz. 7/1 half-track w/quad 2 cm flak in a camo scheme.

At $25 you should reconsider, especially if you already have a sizable amount of 1/32.

Or sell it for $35 on ebay.

at one of my TRUs they were plentiful in action grade stugs. they also had some 1:72 scale sherman and tigers. also had assault force.
