Hello Cheesecake,
IXO Models will begin releasing their range of 1:72 scale military vehicles (including many of the vehicles you mentioned) starting in November. If you're in Europe, you may find them under the Altaya brand.
Cordially,

Hi Cheesecake,
As Lightning suggested, IXO/Altaya is the best for what you're looking for. They are pretty cheap in France too, I spoke to a friend that lives there and he said they were selling on average for just 6 Euro ($7.61 for the current exchange rate)). Below is a link showing pictures of most of them:

I could compare the GD tiger from altaya and one of the Dragon tiger i have (60098)... and the quality is largely better for dragon you know !
Even the price are cheap, i would like rather an beautiful tank than altaya.
For information, the price of altaya :
- Tiger GD : 3,95 € (3,10 $)
- Amx 30 : 7,95 € (7,10 $)
- Sherman : 11,95 € (11,10 $)
i don't know if 11,95 € is the final price for the collection...
Yes, I fully agree. The detail on Dragon Armor is much better than on Altaya/IXO, there's really no comparison between the two. That's probably the main reason Altaya is a bit cheaper than Dragon Armor.cheesecake wrote:

The same thing happened with Altaya tanks in Spain, they started out cheaper and then went up in price after a few releases. I think they cost about 10-11 Euros right now and have remained that price the majority of the time. They make unusual subjects though which is good.
