The object of war is not to die
for your country
but to make the other damn bastard
die for his country.

Way out of my price range, but from the pictures I've seen, its simply one of the best small-scale tanks yet made. A true work of art 8)

I have this one and 2 of the earlier ones. I love these things. But I heard that the first run had a fictious camo job. That does not upset me. These are big and heavy. Well worth the money. I can't wait to get the 21st !/18 scale . I do believe that I will get as much of them as I can. Hopefully they will come out in TRU. If I have to get them e-tailers I think that they will brake me. The shipping is what kills you. :?

That thing is a work of art, but I am with Tman. This thing is out of my price range. As a kid I had cars I spent less on! :D

Someday after the kids are gone and we sell the house maybe... :roll:

I bought one when they first came out for around $370 US shipped. I saw one of these recently go for $980 US on ebay. The FOV 1/16 Sherman is apparently only a 1250 total production run, much lower the 2000 and 2500 piece Tiger runs. Wonder if it's going to be a hot seller and sell out quick.
