Better Buy?

Which is the better buy: FOV m3a1 half-track or the M16 quad?
Both seem like great pieces.

thanks

.......... I'd go for the 1/2-track w/ the x-tra personnel . "That's just me though".

The quad .50 action grade in winter whitewash camo seems to be a little bit more in demand these days. I just recently sold one on the bay for over $40 not including shipping. I have another up right now, it's the only winter one currently listed, so it will be interesting to see how much it fetches.

Tough to say, what version are you getting through? I noticed that Unimax re-released them as part of the D-Day Commemorative Series, and most notably the M3A1 doesn't come with it's complement of three figures, just the .50 cal gunner. If it's the original release, I would say get the M3A1, as I love the three figures made here.

I want to buy the half track with the 3 figs but can't seem to find it. Other than that, i can get the winter quad.

NHOGGARD12:

If you're looking for the FOV half-track #81314 with three figures, Badcat, Flyingmule, Smalljoes, rinkets to Treasures, etc. have it
Trinkets to treasures has the lowest price of $34.99.
(However, all the photos only show it with one figure)

All four M3A1s from the four stores are the same one as the re-released D-Day Commemorative series M3A1, there really is only one figure. They all carry the same D-Day series product number, #81314, the original M3A1 with the three figures has the product number #81214.

Yeah, that's what it looked like to me---as I said in my original post, all the ads showed only one figure with the half-track.

Here's one for $47.96---BUT I've ordered from them before and their website isn't always updated, so you should email them and confirm it's in stock:
