Does anybody know if this is going to be offered at Target or did I miss my chance?

You might have missed your chance... but with FOV, one never knows. Afterall, the Bradleys were restocked. They were very common in late 2007 and early 2008, but I have not seen any in my area for months. The common items are the M4 Shermans and Bradleys. There were two paint schemes for the Abrams: a woodland cammo and a desert cammo. The desert version featured excellent weathering and, in my opinion, was the best 1:18 Abrams to date. I would imagine you can still find them on ebay and there were a few online retailers that purchased them from Target to sell in their stores.

I still see some of them in stores down here

I hope they do sell someday so we may see some other FOV vehicles in the future

BRYCE:

The FOV ABRAMS is also sold at Foxhole.com for a whopping $59.95 plus shipping:

I got my Abrams at Target for $30. I like it a lot, but it has some problems:
1. the stowage rack is not weathered like the rest of the tank and most of the Abrams I saw, including mine, have bent racks.
2. Most of the Abrams I saw, including mine, have a few "clean" spots on the weathering.
3. The driver's viewing doors are incorrectly located on the outside of the viewing port, not inside.
4. My turret 50 cal. machine gun barrel is bent (and hot water soaking doesn't work) and the mount has the 50 cal drooping down.
