At my local Tuesday Morning
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 7:52 pm
Based on the info from another's post HERE, I thought I'd check out my local Tuesday Morning store.
While I can't say that it was a goldmine, it did have the 1:35 German figures that others had mentioned. I picked up a few, members of the MG42 Heavy Machine Gun Team, Feldgendarmerie w/Dogs, mainly for the dogs. So I now have 2 1:35 German Shepards which I think will blend in nicely with my modern 1:32. The handlers? Well, I'll see what I can do with them. Likely dispose of them, maybe see if anyone here wants me to mail them to them. I also got the actual machinegunner from the outfit, but even then just so I could steal his machinegun to replace one I lost from a Panther. It'll be a bit small, but better than nothing. At least until I find something better.
They did have the figures to make a complete crew for Wittman's tank, several of each, I think it worked out to enough for three complete crews. I doubt anyone needs three Wittman's, but I imagine he could be easily enough modded into a generic officer. If anyone is wanting any of these guys I can go back and get them, at $2 a figure the crew of 5 is hardly going to break the bank.
In any case, it was about the best 1:32 news to come my way in quite some time, which is saying a lot, since I collect primarily modern, and only 1:32, so 1:35 WWII Germans isn't real high on my want list in the first place. Ahhhh.... For the glory days of years gone by...
