I paid $29.99 at TRU for the original Sherman and Panther. I think the M48 went up to $39.99 when it was released.

My guess is that this King Tiger will be released as an RC tank first? :)

And mebbe a 79.99 price point?

Or is it the magical 89.99 price? :lol: :lol:

At the Panzer Museum in Thun, Switzerland there is a Königstiger and Jagdpanther sitting side by side (or at least they used to) and if I recall correctly there was also a Panther A next to the Jagdpanther, from my recollection the overall size of all three is quite simular.

On the other side of the Königstiger there was also a Sherman which let me see how its size compared with the German tanks of WWII, as next to the Panther there also was a Stug III, Jagdpanzer IV, Hetzer (a real one not a G-13) and a Mk IV all in a row.

I'll have to look through my photo albums to find the pictures that I took (pre digital days), but for now here are some images I quickly Googled:
