Ranger:
I would say that since we have the new R/C 21c Hummer and re-release recently of the Kettengrad w/ new trailer, the Kubelwagon w/2 figures, the new Patton Jeep w/2 figures, the new Sahara Jeep with at least one figure, maybe two and there is a Stuart floating around w/4 figures as well as the WC-57 Command Car w/General Patton, the future of 1/6 is looking good. By the way, how many 1/18 ground vehicles have been introduced in the same period.

I just got the re-released CC with Patton and there are minor changes to the S1 CC and it looks great. When I first saw it advertised I thought the boxed figure of the General was just thrown in, but it's a factory addition with the packing including the African campaign Patton tucked in under the frame.

Really nice work 21C.

As to R/C, there are guys around who make everything in R/C. Factory R/C is nice but I've seen 21C conersions to R/C including CC's, Jeeps, even the German m/c with sidecar. All pop up on eBay from time to time.
Be patient.

The construction of the 21C vehicles are sturdy enough to handle the R/C hardware, some of the other 1/6 are not.

Hey Ranger, the new weapon sets are out to. They look great. I picked up the ranger set with the 3 SAWs and the m240 for $7.88.

What 21C should re-release is the WSC. With the prices they are going for now, that has to be a win win situation.

The monster 1/6 Bradley is the only one I don't have, and that is mostly because the paint job is as ugly as sin and I dread the idea of a re-paint on one. That would be like painting a car

21C figures are getting better, not as good as Dragon or DID but serious figures.

Ranger, go with the Hummer. They can be gotten.

This looks sweet, love to see it and a PaK 40 in 1/18th.

I've got a 1/16th Nebelwerfer from Verlinden I should finish, it would look good in a dio with some 1/18th armor.

They are retooling the Pak 40 so it shoots with some kind of air soft system.
