2008 FOV Lineup To Be Announced Today

lightning2000 · Post by **lightning2000** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 5:51 pm

Hi,
We dont have traditional images just yet of their new introductions so tomorrow I'll crop the images from their brochure and post them as soon as possible. Figure everything to be done towards the end of the day since it involves alot of work. Other vendors may do it faster, so they're more than welcome to post the pictures first...

On a side note, the manufacturer is announcing another across-the-board price increase. I strongly recommend ordering product already available soon since the retail prices will likely increase in the coming weeks...

Hey thanks for the info.....I was hoping for a bit more new stuff....but not too bad.

I forget who, but someone here was begging for US 2 1/2 ton. I'm glad that's one wish granted.

Thanks again

I hear ya, but I think alot is being saved for the Toy Fair in February. Incidentally, its difficult to tell if the Stryker will come with the bird cage anti-tank system you typcially see on Strykers deployed to Iraq. Looks like a stock image used for the brochure, not an actual prototype. My guess is that it will include the cage and you'll likely see other variants from the Stryker family down the road...

Very excited about the Stryker, Elefant and the GMC truck.. Makes for a nice troop mover to go with the Opels from 21C.. Thanks for the top notch recon Lightning!

I'll keep my Dragon Die Cast Elefant over a FOV over painted example.

1:32 Elefant Tank Destroyer
1:32 M1126 Stryker Infantry Combat Vehicle
1:32 6th version of their Tiger I tank

Must have all of the above - but the Tiger I only if it's a Tunisia repaint.

Hi,
We now have images posted on our web site for the confirmed vehicles listed on their price sheet. We've also clipped the other images of products due out later in the year. We'll probably post them here first rather than our web site, then create listings afterwards.

Milo, the Tiger I looks like a summer camo pattern, not a Tunisian scheme. There's also a 6th pattern for their King Tiger which I neglected to mention. Give me a little while and I'll set up a separate thread for the image collection.

Thanks for all the news and updates Lightning. Awesome news on the deuce and a half, I know this is going to be a big hit with 1:32 collectors.

That GMC 2 1/2 tonner SHOULD be popular. It's certainly LONG overdue in this scale. We can use it with Conte, Britains, Airfix, FoV, etc, etc.

Good for Tunisia to Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo and for Korea, plus the many Allies taht received them.

Many, Many repaint possibilities. Lots of alternate version or conversion possibilities.

Finally, the proper towing vehicle for the FoV 105mm howitzer!

Now if these dummies at FoV would just research their Sherman tank!
