What vehicle/figure/plane are you tired of seeing?
This is an opposite question to my "which one would you most like to see" question. What figure or vehicle or plane do you think is made too much or is most common. Personally I am kinda tired of seeing every single set of Japanese (be it model or 21st) having a guy charging with a sword . And I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but there seems to always be a German officer pointing in almost all sets. Also I think the Tiger is kinda over produced. I mean it looks cool but there seems to be sooooo many different variations. I know this is a wierd question but I am bored...

Dragon really killed any desire I have to buy more Tiger Is or King Tigers. Don't get me wrong - their Tigers are gorgeous and all - but does the market really need to be saturated with about fifty different versions of both?
Let us all hope that not only Dragon, but Unimax starts broadening their product line a bit. Let's hope Dragon uses some of its new 1:72 plastic model kits to release as Dragon Armor later this year
Also, I love Stukas, but there seem to be a thousand of them in a thousand different scales. Everyone makes them, it seems. Stukas are the Luftwaffe equivalent of the Wehrmacht's Tigers to collectors - the one that absolutely must be had at all cost, likely because of an obsession with star pilots and tankmen (Hans Ulrich Rudel and Michael Wittman, for instance).
How many bloody Wittman Tiger Is have to be released before people stop spending a bloody fortune on each new release?!

P-51 or Bf-109 for aircraft, Sherman for armor (especially for 1/18, but also for 1/32). 1/32 has a decent selection of other Allied tanks, but not a great one. In 1/18, you'd think that the only Allied tank ever used was the Sherman. And the Mustang is cool and all, but I have one, and that is enough for me. I'll get a second P-38 before I get another Mustang, but I'd really like to see something NEW. Same goes for the Bf-109G6 with the countless repaints.

I to am tired of seeing so many 21st BF- 109G in my local Walmart they have like 12 of them there. And also in Target there always lots of figure packs every time I look same thing there.

My area has had a steady flow of the 32x 109s, lately it seems that every WM has gotten in at least 2-4 of the "winter" Bf-109Fs, and one still has about 6 of the "North Africa" 109Fs. I'm tired of them, but not as tired as I was with the Macchis and Zeros. Most of the stores in my area got tons of those and they sat and sat. After they were finally cleared out after the post-Christams discounts, my local Hobbytown got stocked with a tone of them! Guess those will be there even longer
