Re: New Forces of Valor Due May/June! (Inc. Pics!)
FOV is certainly going all out this year with some new toolings and a ton of repaints. Nice that we're getting repaints of vehicles that haven't been out in a while, but I think re-releasing the "Normandy" Jagdpanther will kill the value of the original.
Cool to see the Stug III in 1:72 as well as the SDKfz 70 in 1:32. I really need to dive into the FOV trucks.

That seems to be the case. The S2 belgium jagdpanther will probably b e much more vauable. I personally have the S3 germany version, and I personally think that it can be seen as a normandy jagdpanther, since the paintscheme is similiar. The value of the t-34 may also drop for a while as well.

I think that FOV's prices for 1/32 tanks this year is about $60 USD. Factoring in shipping costs maybe close to $70 USD.

Re: New Forces of Valor Due May/June! (Inc. Pics!)
I agree Heer. If I wanted to pay that much for tanks I would have started collecting K&C, Collector's Showcase, etc. That was one thing that was so endearing about our favorite brands is that they were pretty affordable and still had a decent amount of detail. Now I find myself turned away solely because paying that mush for a tank just doesn't go over well in my head because that kind of money used to get us 2 FOV tanks.

I remember when FOV first released their vehicles, they were $40USD, but that was 9 years ago.

I like the German Persal Carrier and the schwimmwagen. I wonder if the jagdpanther is going to have the same detailed interior like the old one.

Re: New Forces of Valor Due May/June! (Inc. Pics!)
Its very likely they will use the same tooling as the originals. This is what was done on the re-release of the Pershing and some other recent repaints. Not sure what they will do with the weathering, however. The Jagdpanther is certainly one of FOV's best.GI546 wrote:I wonder if the jagdpanther is going to have the same detailed interior like the old one.

Re: New Forces of Valor Due May/June! (Inc. Pics!)
I definetley agree. The jagdpanther is one of my favorite models to date. I just hope they don't screw up the weathering and paint job for everyone who missed out on the last release.
