New FOV @Target question

Post by Bravo_26 » Mon Nov 01, 2004 2:49 pm

Has FOV released the new M113, Bradley, Hummer or Lav25 to Targets yet? (The ones pictured on the back of the Target packages.)

I've only seen the mass market Target Matilda & Sherman repaints.

Thanks, and if so, where have you seen these?

I don't know if they are repaints or S1 vehicles, but I did see desert Bradleys and M-60s along with S1 Stug IIIs, S2 Matildas and the rest...........

The way I got it from FOV was the M-113 APC M-109 SPG and the LAV 25 will be released next year in the action grade only. They will be exclusive to Target and TRU. Tom C (fetco)

What's the difference between the action grade and enthusiast grade?

Action is the mass merchandiser version with less weathering, and less extra chotchkies like barrels, bags, metal wire antennae, etc.

Check out Mike's Diecast Tank site for info about FOV (and just about every other diecast tank manufacturer). It is an excellent reference for collectors, probably the best on the web:
