1/32 T-34's

Post by ketelone » Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:43 pm

I think I'm addicted to T-34's. I have all the earlier FOV versions. I also thought I had all of the Britains' T-34s but I discovered I didn't have the 17497B. I bought it. Now I have all available 1/32 T-34's. Once the latest FOV T-34 is released, I'll be getting that one too. I hope FOV will think about releasing some additional WWII Soviet tanks.

A great piece of diecast, from FoV.

Only one for me, the winterized version. And very happy with it. :D

I saw recently, the winterized T-34 with the red lettering, go for about $200 recently. :shock:

Think that FoV could release many more schemes of this great tank.

I might just wait until the new release t-34 get released into the market and then let it saturate the market for a while. Then I get the S1 t-34 cheap.

That is sort of what disappoints me about re-releases of old toolings - the originals I have suddenly decrease in value. I have the S1 FOV T-34 (#36 Subarov) and its one of my all-time favorite FOV and 1:32 tanks in general. It is practically a professional model with its excellent weathering and paint job. I've also been tickled by the fact that its become one of my most valuable 1:32 items as well, even in loose condition.

Nevertheless, I'm very glad to see FOV re-releasing a new scheme for their T-34 and I will pick it up as I could use a second tank and don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for one :wink:

This happened with the S1 panzer IV. When FOV re-released the "almost exact" version of the S1, the values dropped significantly. With FOV re-releasing the normandy jagdpanther, the original release will suffer greatly.

Here is one:

I hope the buyer really likes this particular vehicle and is not buying the S1 just for value, b/c in a couple of weeks the value will drop back down to about $70-$80. The new release will sell for $60. Someone's not gonna be to happy because I guess word hadn't gotten out about FOV's 2012 relaeses.
