some of those are new for sure. The mortar pits i'd heard of before but not the rest. This is the first time the flakvierling has been available by itself, as opposed to mounted on a pIV chassis. And many people will no doubt appreciate the panzer grey 222 being available again.

Very cool little sets. Wish we'd see that in 1/18 scale, yadda yadda....

That's wierd, the Stalingrad, Okinawa and Calais sets have been out for months, I bought those several months ago, It's the first three I haven't seen yet. I have seen pictures of the mortar sets, but I thought they would be released in a package like the 75mm infantry gun was, not as an entire play set. I hope they hit the shelves soon though, as I have been waiting for those for a while now.

Ditto. I have been aware of the Stalingrad, Okinawa and Calais sets for some time now, (although I've yet to find them) but the mortar pits and listening post are news to me, and good news at that. BTW Lightning, I would be interested to know where you saw this stuff "announced"?? I don't see anything at the 21C site "area 21", the latest announcements there are for the PAK 40 gun and XD Afrika Corps figures, just curious...??

There are 3 Wal Marts in my general area with the Stalingrad, Okinawa and Calais sets, and they have been there a while. I got the Okinawa and Calais sets for the AA gun, Stuart repaint, and new figures. The Mortar sets, however, are new, and look awesome! I can't wait until those are out, as I'll have to nab one of each! Glad to hear they are going to the small retailers first, though they may be like the M7 Priest assortment and come out at WM and the retailers are pretty much the same time. The 32x line is totally hard to ignore with so many great offerings - good thing I haven't limited myself to collecting only one scale

Im still waiting for all the playsets from previuos years to show up here in my area walmarts

Not to mention the new Opel Blitz and the Halftrack 21st C has released...
I would like to see those as well....The mortar pits and LP are great additions.

I've spotted the Okinawa and Calais sets too, but the others are new to me as well. I don't collect 1/32nd anymore, but these sets sure look awesome!

Im disapointed with Flak gun. You would think after all these years 21stC would finaly come out with the proper Flak crew and not use panzer crewmen
