Small Scale Military Headquarters

Thank you for posting the pictures. They look great, even though I'm partially blinded by insane jealousy

The figures are just as great as everyone has been saying.

Coolness! I really like the Firefly. I was so lucky to actually get that set and the Heavy Artillery set as well. I checked back today and they had a pile of 32x planes. But they were FW-190s and Brit Corsairs instead of Raf/Polish Mustangs, so my luck didn't last long!

I haven't even seen the new sets in my area, and don't expect to for a while. Luckily, a fellow boardmember sent me the Firefly set, so I'm not bummed about missing out

Great figures and a neat tank as well!

The figures are too glossy, look like store displays.

Heers R us LOL

The weathering did improve the look of it, but it looked great before. Thanks again for posting this pictures, schizuki.

That's the flashbulb. They're the same flatness as FoV figures.

I concur. They are flat colored like FOV figures in person. Nice weathering job, simple and effective.

The new 21c Germans are the equal of any of the new FOV figures all in terms of sculpt, detail, and paint application

That it does. I couldn't believe that every one of their weapons had straight barrels. Even the FOV figure packs always seem to be full of bendy barrels.

I want that set so bad! Thanks for posting the awesome pics.

Today I picked up the Hedgerows playset with the Dozer and it is really nice and should be fun to make all nasty and dirty looking. Having to drill out the end of the main gun barrel sucks however. So amazingly I found all three playsets I wanted, Cobra, Hedgerows and Heavy Artillery at my neighborhood WM which usually sucks for toys. They also had the set with the Kingtiger but I don't like the camo and really son't need a 4th KT.

Do the 6 German soldiers come in the playset as well? How much do the playsets cost now? Thanks!!

Yes, and $19.99.

Thank you, kind sir.

Now I just need to find them in my AO.

Rub it in my face eh? I'm watching one of these cobra playsets on eBay rite now. Would you recommend buying these for more than $25?

Hehe, don't feel so bad, I was just lucky. Usually finding new stuff is a big pain in the arse. I still haven't seen any of the kits besides the Sherman, Chaffee and the 88.

You know, at first wasn't so sure about the dozer, I even debated taking it back. But once you get the thing out of the box you realise how cool it is. Since the set sells at WM for $20, $25 isn't too bad. I wouldn't spend more than many $20 on the dozer that comes by itself.

Only problem I had with the tank was yet another bent barrel on the .50 cal. I wish they would make those things out of better plastic or someone would sell aftermarket German and US MG's for FOV and 32x. Also the blade won't stay up, it just sits on the ground. Maybe I'm missing a lock or something?

Found the Operation Cobra Breakout play set last night at Wally!
