Oh, now you're gonna have to post pics......BOSS HOGG wrote:I was at Walmart today and they had just put out 1/32 two packs of the Tiger one vs Hellcat (German vs American) and a Hanomag vs the german scout car. Didn't understand that German vs German, but hey, they were two packs. Anyway, new paintscheme on the Tiger and Africa corp colors on the other two. Retail was just under $25. Several other pics on the boxes of releases and it did show the M7 Priest. Hmmmmm, anyone else see these. These were in East Tennessee.

Re: Ultimate Soldier Tiger vs Hellcat, Hanomag vs scout car
The WMs in my area NEVER even got the last releases of the 32x playsets with the aircraft, Sherman, and 88mm gun Or, at least they haven't arrived yet. Now there's new ones!BOSS HOGG wrote:Hmmmmm, anyone else see these. These were in East Tennessee.
It sounds like they also came with some good armor pieces that haven't been seen in a while. The M-18, Hannomag, and scoutcar are some of the better 32x pieces of armor, despite being some of the first vehicles released way back at TRU.

Hi guys!
Here's a couple of eBay auctions of these new sets with some nice pix! The seller provided some nice close-ups of the unboxed vehicles!

Well for all those that have been hoarding the scout car etc for higher prices on E-bay just got torpedoed Those things were going for WAY too much moneyPlus now I can score a Tiger etc that I missed out in the first rounds I even like the paint jobs better than the S1.

Agreed.. The paint scheme on the Tiger is more accurate although the lack of zimmerit can be overlooked..kimtheredxd wrote:Well for all those that have been hoarding the scout car etc for higher prices on E-bay just got torpedoed Those things were going for WAY too much moneyPlus now I can score a Tiger etc that I missed out in the first rounds I even like the paint jobs better than the S1.

fyi the paint schemes on the hanomag and scout car are not desert schemes. It was not uncommon, especially in the early days of the new 3 colour system, for the standard 3 colour scheme to just be 2 colours: either dark yellow with some green overspray or dark yellow with some dark brown overspray, as in the case of this new 2 pack.
It was rare to see an Afrika Korp vehicles in anything but desert sand and when they were camo'd it was usually with a bit of pea green overspray and virtually all those vehicles were in tunisia.

i never met an airplane i didn't like...
I was happy when 21C threw down the toy gauntlet saying this would be the best year ever, but sceptical not wanting to get my hopes up too high.
However, they sure seem well on their way to releasing news frequently as promised, but also between KB, WM and the online retailers, pumping a steady supply of real product as well! (In three different scales to boot)
Keep it coming lads!
Interesting. Another unexpected development. I do like the paint jobs on the Hanomag and 222. They look a lot better than the straight grey.

And they used to be so good about it! The first 32x vehicles had 3 crew figures, then later two - and that was better than most FOV vehicles until recentlykimtheredxd wrote:The real question is do they even include a pilot We all know how skimpy figures included in the package are getting with 21st now.

Hey y'all --- I went to WM in McDonough,GA and they have all 3 double packs!!!!I dont collect 1:32 so I really didnt take a good look at them but they were all $24.99 each!!!! They had a green M-48(Hellcat) and a gray Tigertank---German halftrack and a scout car(both a tan camo)---a P-47 and a 190!!!! I didnt take a good look at the planes (Iam a boots on the ground kind of guy!!!)They had alot of single green and white JapZeros for --I think $14.99!!!So 1 more plane about $10.00 sounds pretty good for all you 1:32 guys!!! I do remember that on the back of the double plane box they had a pic of the new 1:32 Corsair!!!!If 21stC does a Corsair and a Zero double pack for $25.00 I will pick up 1 or 2!!!!Hey why not?????I hope this helps out!!!!---RED---

I think the figure idea or lack of is bogus! While I agree the guy checking the compass or watch is lame after the sixteenth time! But I would like to see some new figure sets! Good figures not re released. Also why not scuplt a few new crews? How much could it cost to do three new Panzer crew sculpts or three us crew? Hell King and Country has a release every month with a lot of highly detailed figures. 21st has the world by the tail and they decide to go down market?
Dont get me wrong I love the new stuff, but turet swaps and dozer blades only wet the apetite!
