GENERAL BLASTO:

I would love to see the new Sherman sold at a clearance price...just like the new Tiger is. A $10 Sherman sounds great.

[acisne]

I have found nothing WW2 yet at any of the Houston area Targets. I'm getting really tired of looking and coming up empty-handed.

I also saw that Tiger at the Galleria Target. The one at Meyerland and the Target on 290/Hollister also had one.

ME TOO!
I wasted my Sunday off searching Targets-going into the one across from work on my way to work and on my way home coming up empty handed...this is STOOPID! For the past few years, I've hunted WM's, TRU and 80% or more of the time coming away with nothing!
And with FOV being a Target exclusive, unless Target puts them online...I just don't care to search anymore...

[General Blasto]

Still nothing new for FOV here
So I can't say if the heads are compatable with the modern fig.s - yet.
I have a friend who's aquired a few FOV WWII figures and is sending them down. I'll try the head swapping and will post to let y'all know if it works, hopefully by this weekend Da General

[STUKA]

sheesh - slow stocking?? Target keeps restocking modern figures!!

[topnotch97]

as for me, it took awhile before i manage to gather all the modern ones. not all Target around here, like 25-mile radius, carry the Bravo Team line. it took more like a month, before i saw decent supply.

i'm pretty sure you guys will be seeing more of the toy line pretty soon, as it slowly trickles down to each Target stores.

just be patient my friends.

besides, there are still about one or two Target stores around these part that they never had the bravo team line. not once.

Blasto,

if you find any of the FOV 1/18 WWII items in our orlando area let me know... I will also do the same.

[General Blasto]

Will do 75th
It may not be the supply down here as much as the laziness of the employees to do the work to restock/reset product. I have never seen as much of this "I don't want to do my job" bit at any store or business until I moved down here. Folks down here(not all, but most it seem) think that a job is just to stand around and not do your job. This is esp. true with the young girls here. I've even had one of them at a dept. store standing behind the counter tell me "I talking on the phone" and refused to help me or get someone else to help me because her PERSONAL phone call was more important talking the high school crap to her bimbo friend then doing her job. I did ask to see the store manager, but doubt anything became of it because she was still there a week later and yes, talking on her cell phone behind the counter Da General

I almost spit out my coffee as I read this!
What's the old saying? - "It's hard to get GOOD help"
I agree with you that some younger employees have a horrible work ethic. (but I work with a 20 yr old who is MORE mature than people twice her age!)
My problem with current system is if you report these people, management doesn't have the %alls to fire or even discipline bad employees, so you still see them the next time you visit the store.
I had a run in with a lazy and disrespectful "Customer Service" TRU employee (wouldn't you think that you would WANT to help people if your job was "Customer Service"?) So, I emailed a complaint to TRU corp. and now "Mr. Customer Service" is stocking shelves!

[General Blasto]

Good for you Razor Sometimes going to the top will bring action. No, not all younger people are bad employees, but on days I wonder. I too when I was young worked and I was a darn hard worker. I think what's happened is the rules or the way our sociaty has changed. By that I mean that sooo much of the media, Tv and Radio have the programs and songs that seem to tell our younger generation that it's ok to be a slacker Even word for word too. Makes me want to just toss my cookies The old phrase, "Young minds, Fresh ideas" just doesn't seem to work here

Now on Topic
As I do my running today, I plan on hitting a couple more Targerts and a WM or two to see if there is any new FOV WWII and 21st C dual packs out yet.

I must be a sucker for pain, but my ablity to sit back and wait is killing me more

[Jagdpanther]

Found the Fov Sherman tank in target today.

[CW4USARMY]

You're the first on the east coast I think. Great news!

[topnotch97]

are we gonna see more of the FOV line this year? like new tanks, armor, figs, planes?

i hope they're not stopping from what we already see at stores.

The rumor is that FOV: Bravo Team will return again around the holidays (Thanksgiving & Christmas) in Target. A Stryker is in the works for 1:18.

JAGDPANTHER:

I hope you post a review of your rare Sherman find.

[tmanthegreat]

Just curious, but has anyone seen the FOV Sherman in the western states yet (meaning west of the Rocky Mountains)? Nealy all my local Target stores have the WWII figures in, but not of the vehicles. At least not yet

[dragon53]

MG-42:

Is the rumored new paint scheme for the Tiger the tan paint scheme or the green/brown/tan paint scheme shown on the Abrams box?

[MG-42]

[+] Yes ! ... You could also use this particular tank and new-scheme , for a DAK scene. * =


Mitch v MG

[VMF115]

See Yoxford's FOV 1/18 tiger. now that is what I want to see.

[dragon53]

MG-42:

So will the new Tiger have all-tan or green/brown/tan paint?

[MG-42]

Wake me up when the enthusiast grade versions come out.
