* Has anybody taken advantage of some of these sets being sold on eBaY ?
.................... A fellow board member had picked up a set and told me about them. I picked up a few sets pretty cheap myself as a BIN w/
Free Shipping ! ... Apparently these are being sold by just more than one seller. Some are being sold in "half sets" . The cheapest are sellers from China and one offering
Free Shipping ! ... Some domestic sellers are jumping on the band wagon and taking advantage of these cheap deals from China and profiting by it. ... I seen a 5-pc. set go on eBaY for $78.00
bucks !
* Here's an example :
* This is the same set found on the back of a box of
Japanese Imperial Marines !
...... the
sniper w/ the scope on his rifle , appears to look like a
Commando , because of his cap. ... and the one lying down obviously ,
has a
Piat .

ok, yeah, I saw these and couldn't think of when they came out.
I thought they were unreleased.

* These are nice figures , which stamped on the bottom of their bases , bear
21st.C's trademark ,
21st.Century Toys 2008 . So , apparently these are made from exact 21st.Century molds.
* Here's some better pics :

* Interesting update :
........................................ I just received my order today from Hong Kong and these particular sets are carded unlike my previous 5-pc. loose set I got from another Chinese seller.
* These are in sets of 3 , both A & B , just like that set of Chinese and those Germans.
Only these are in * * * * Four Star Military * * * * carded packs , item # 20207 , w/ the 21st.Century logo 2008 on the back which depict the A set of Chinese Infantry Series 1 # 20197 & a B set of U.S. Heavy Artillery Crew - 8 inch . # 21109 . I think some of these were already sold this way before 21st., went out but not any of the new Paratroopers.
* Set A : Part # 21101 British Infantry Series III
* Set B : Part # 21102 same as above

* No problem ! ... eBaY ! ! ! ... Like I said above in my first post. A fellow board member picked up a set and told me about them ... My first 5-pc. loose set was from seller "cnyulch" which was a bid auction w/ Free Shipping that I still won cheap , say $12.00 . ... Then the same member found another seller , ShopOriental , which only this time , was selling these in sets of 3 , A & B , for $3.99 ea. as BIN w/ only $4.00 shipping. You can see their ad in my 2 pics provided.
I bought 3-sets w/ the 3rd. set shipped for Free . Had it not been for PanzerArm , I probably would'nt have known about these for some time. Apparently , some of these sets have been selling on eBaY since as far back as August , from what I can tell.

This is good intel. Hard to know what made it down the production line before the fall. Hope we see some more.

As for the sniper guy - who appears to be wearing a commando hat. Upon close inspection, he actually looks like he has his para scarf on his head. Kinda makes sense in that a sniper wouldn't want to be wearing anything as conspicuous as a red beret.
