We've all heard this said repeatedly over the years and the closest it ever got was with the Warmaster range which failed before it even took off. I'll save my excitement till I see them in stock at retailers. Though if it does actually happen, I wish they would have started with models that haven't already been released in Europe. Would be nice to get something never released any where else, released here first.

I agree but in this case its a large dependable company one i do loads of business with. I agree on the selection but most of these were hard to get in the USA and many collectors still request them at our store. im always happy to get any positive news.

Is the IXO 1/72 vehicle line up any good?

It would seem AG is pretty happy with this news. :lol:

I have some of their aircraft, and although cheap, they do make some very interesting models, not done by anyone else.

They're soft on detail, but make up for it with the variety of their line up. Most of what they make is not available by any other company in 1/72 prebuilt/prepainted form.

at first the details were ok, but as they moved along they got much better.
HM would be better but i also really like the range of vehicle types aswell as the artillery pieces. ive been buying from europe at a cost of about 26.99-29.99 the retail price should be around 21.99 here in the USA
