Jesse, I hear you but you have to keep the faith
I don't think we will ever be able to troop build off the pegs like S1 XD, SW, etc....just b/c of the relatively small numbers of figures being distributed through the stores, and the odd distribution therein that keeps some stores empty
But, the Japanese figures are a whole lotta bang for your buck, as are the Marines
if you could find them. Now, we see $23 tanks & halftracks? C'mon! Who would thought that day would come? As a guy who does mainly ground based too, I think this is a great time for XD.
Think about what is in [some] stores: 2 sets of good guys & 2 sets of
badguys (not including pilots), 4 different halftracks, USMC Sherman, Dodge Truck, CC, Panzer IV and all the leftover Tigers, M4s, M2s & M113s.
It is practically our hey-day!
Let's remember the old TRU distribution too - searching for XD has become part of the hobby.
PS - I doubt we will ever see 1:18 Japanese again so I'd get on board or you might regret it.
