I got a mate who works for Target here in Melbourne, Australia, he said he saw a bunch of boxes marked with 21st Century branding on them described as something or rather WW2.

So...there's hope for us aussies yet.

Yes, as does TRU. They had a ton of the fov Hanomags just a few months ago.

As for a Soviet "line of toys" I think that is wishful thinking, but FOV does make Russian tanks, etc..and 21C made a MiG.

I think this would be great, perhaps they could focus more on armor and vehicles where the existing players seem more interested in aircraft. It'd also like to see more modern products since considering that BBI seems to be bailing out on us.

However, one has to admit that Panache Place would be pretty late to the game on this. Given the development costs for a 1:18 scale product I think they could get into trouble quickly just releasing different versions of products that have already been well-distributed in 1:18 scale by the established manufacturers.

I am sure they are well aware of all of this. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Corey, you're not in for another Sherman or Corsair?

If it happens (and for now, it remains a pipe dream--like a co-worker of mine often says, "until I see it, it doesn't exist"), FOV a nice selection of both WWII and modern armor that they could draw upon, and that no one else has done. On the modern front: Who's up for an Aardvark? Or a Paladin? and in classic, I still can't believe no one has released a 105mm howitzer or a German motorcycle patrol set.

*grumble*

Where's that A-10?!

And we need a Russian T-34 and a King Tiger.

All in 1:18 scale.

I'd rather see FOV spend time and money on trying to give their 1:32 figures some articulation. Stand, kneel, sit, etc. OR spend time and money and come out with sets of figures, sitting-to ride on tanks, infantry just walking, etc.

As I mentioned before: I'm not a military fan, I'm a fan of Ultimate soldier XD. I've only collected THIS line so far, because I love it. No 32x, no bbi, no 1/16 tanks on my shelves.
But the tanks of FOV are great. If they would release some 1/18 armor, I think I would buy it. When I see this King Tiger or StuG III that they have released and I imagine those beasts in 1/18 - this would be awesome!.
I've been waiting so many years for a release of those tanks by 21st.
It would be great if there would be another manufactorer of 1/18 armor. Maybe this could convince 21st to do more ground vehicles.

I havent seen a thing at any of my local Targets as far as 1/18th planes are concerned. Walmart has 1/18th planes but so far they are all ME-109's and no Avengers or anything else new for that matter and that sucks big time.
