* Yeah , got this e-mail too. That's a pretty good deal if somebody is still on the fence getting one , myself included , considering what they want on eBaY for'em.

Thanks for the info. I didn't even know the HQ existed.
Flyingmule had the Sherman for around $220 last winter (after the 10% off sale).

........ then again , this is the first time I've ever heard anything from their fan club , so to me , this is an indication due to weak $ales.

Maybe FOV is trying to clear the Shermans out to make way for the 1/16 Panther that was reported recently by another poster.

I agree.. I joined their fan club YEARS ago, and never heard anything til now.. Too bad they can't offer a Tiger for that price, I'd be on it in nothing flat.

One of the posters attended one of the recent toy fairs. The FOV rep said they were planning a 1/16 Panther for Christmas. I haven't seen any trace of it....maybe it was for Christmas, 2011.

............ they also said they planned a Pzkw. IV w/ battle schürzen too. I hope somebody's right. I'll take either one or both.

This all sounds great but what happened to their 1:18th line?
