New FoV For October 2012 Repaints a'Plenty!
Good year for FoV, but I think they are running out of steam now.. Too many reissues/repaints recently announced.

To be honest that and the 1:72 Hanomag will be all we order. The cargo trucks have not been very popular so far this year.MG-42 wrote:......... yeah , tons. ... they re-painted the Chaffee just like the Pershing.

I have never seen a Chaffee with this scheme, will have to do some digging. I know the RoC used a similar scheme..

......... that is the worst truck FoV has ever done yet and it's not even 1:32 .

Not really excited about any of it, though I'll admit the Chaffee does look interesting with the cammo and the AH-1Z is a nice 1:72 tooling.

We are expecting this soon. It has been really popular on the pre-order front. I am not surprised as it looks a great model!ketelone wrote:Where's the 1/32 Dodge ambulance?
Agree MG-42, the truck is too short and stubby looking for 1:32 scale.
Re: New FoV For October 2012 Repaints a'Plenty!
It's kinda scary and astonishing the amount of items that FOV is releasing this year, they just about re-released every WWII vehicle that they had made before. I wonder what will happen once they have exhausted their old casts. Will they just keep on re-releasing old stuff with new paint?

......... kinda makes ya' wonder what they're up to anyways but they'd better start weathering their stuff again if they want to stay in business. I would imagine that their sales have already plummeted.
* I talked to one of my favorite e-tailors and he said even his regular customers have either cancelled or cut way back on their orders specifically for FoV. He said "I don't know what I'm gonna do w/ all this extra stuff I'm stuck w/ " , send it back to Unimax ? ... I said "Do what most businesses do when they have alot of overstock , put it on $ale". Customers are just getting fed up w/ their lack of quality for cost and its going to start hurting sales big time for some folks across the board.

"UNIMAX" is GREEDY, LAZY and STUPID.
If they keep up with this lackadaisical attitude, their sales will eventually plummet
and our beloved hobby will suffer greatly.

FOV is the only 1/32 game in town. The thought of switching at this stage to another scale is overwhelming.
