Forces of Valor 1:16 Tiger I
I had a chance to buy the Wittmann 007 metal Tiger today for $300. I was all ready to pull the trigger because it was complete in box with all the paperwork. One little hitch, it had none of the figures. I passed because of the missing figures. Did I make the right call?

Personally, I think you made the right decision. Once upon a time I think you could buy the figs seperately, but I've been looking for them now for at least a year, and haven't seen them for sale anywhere including ebay. Ultimately, if you are comfortable with your decision, then that is all that matters.I passed because of the missing figures.

[+] FoV Wittmann Tiger I "007" The Final Battle
* You made a wise decision declining considering no figures w/ it + the price , but some people don't care about figures. I would want mine complete if I were looking for one myself. That makes a big difference to me.
* The "Wittmann 007" Tiger had a total production # of 1800 units sold worldwide w/ that of only 350 slated to be sold just in the US alone. I am very fortunate to have production # 0007 , w/ which I bought on $ale back in 07' for about $300.00 + Free Shipping.
.......... The figures that came w/ the 2nd. Series "BoB" Tiger II was the only tank FoV sold figures separately. If their was any figures sold separately from the "Wittmann" Tigers , then this was only due to pvt. collections being sold off on ebay.

I don't have anything 1/16, this would have been my first in the scale. I know they can go for more money, but I worried about the missing figures eroding the value. For that kind of money, even at a deal I would want it complete for resale value as well as display quality.ostketten wrote:Personally, I think you made the right decision.
