I missed the tiger last time around so I want this one. But I am really excited about the Lee. Not so great a tank maybe, but still one of my favorites!

Hi,
The Tiger I comes with the riders. No news on the 1:16 scale front, although they intimated that a number of new products will be shown for the first time at the October Hobby Show.

Hi Jagdpanther,
Missed your post. It looks as if the balance of their 2007 introductions will be shipping out to their vendor accounts sometime in July. I'm somewhat surprised at the number of people clamoring for this particular vehicle. I can only hope they come out with a matching 88mm gun or perhaps a different towed artillery piece so those extra figures have something to do!

As an aside, I'm also quite impressed by the number of people looking to pick up some of their retired pieces, such as the M26 Pershing, 1st issue Zundapp, 1st issue Tiger I and King Tiger, and the 1st issue Panther. While they were produced in far larger numbers than say a comparable Minichamps vehicle, it speaks volumes regarding the lines collectability and the lengths people will go to seek out some of the more coveted pieces.

The HIMARS is slated for a late July release.

Thanks for the reply lightning2000. Yea it would be nice if they did some sort of artillery pieces for it.
