I was told that the 1/18 Sahara series will not be released,..by a forum member who had enquired about the anticipated release to 21st.'s Customer Service about some parts,..and during this conversation,..that's what the Rep., said. ...As for the release and cancellation ? .....That's a mystery.

Well, I hope the Patton shows up in another series. Was looking forward to that one.

Wait a second! Ain't that SAS British? You expect some foreign WWII stuff? You must be crazy!

I'd probably buy some more jeeps if they did that.

I could use a couple more jeeps too.

Its too bad they dropped the line beyond the two 1:18 figures and the 1:6 Jeep, however, its a decision that makes sense. The film, Sahara was never a blockbuster and has since been largely forgotten by the general public. It was out on DVD months ago and in theaters long before that. To go through the effort of releasing a tank, an APC, a jeep and a helicopter (even if only repaints) to a market where they will mostly be unrecognized and gather dust, would be a bad business decision. Sure a few of us would be excited upon finding them at Wal Mart, but that would wear off and the products would probably not move. 21c's efforts need to be focused elsewhere.

Very well said. No Loss IMO.

Yeh, 21st needs to forget about the Sahara line and consentrate on the Platoon line. That way they can release the Mutt, M48, a Vietnam version of the M113A1 APC and ACAV, Huey troop carrier, Medivac, Huey Gunship and a line of figures that are as detailed as their most recent ones. Come on 21st, fess up and give the people what they want. You can't see a big profit in your sights

You have all the molds already!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up!!!!!!!!!!

i had no interest in the sahara line from the beginning...i just wanted the repainted jeep. I'm glad it's been dropped. Hopefully a lesson learned too..

Wasn't a big surprise. I agree with billgif, that the Platoon line will probably sell much better.

If they are dropping the line. Grab the 2 figures and jeeps, as many as you can, sit on them a while and then dump em on ebay and retire.
