While we may not like it, from what I've seen in Target & TRU the Bravo Team/Assault Force appear to do well with just the general public instead of just military collectors. For one, the price point is a lot more nicer then any Transformers, Star Wars, G.I. Joe toys in store that are all each $9 an...

I finally picked up all three new FOV WWII planes, some stores that have been depleted in the 1:72 planes have them reloaded again too. I've checked most TRUs in SoCal and only over in Torrance they still have the 1:72 FOV vehicle pegs still up, but they have a green sticker dot with some numbers wr...

I'm distressed by the lack of sighting of the Wespe, though. I was looking forward to it as much as the AAV. Maybe it just hasn't arrived yet and will show in a later assortment. Probably the Wespe might show up at Rite-Aid stores? I've been scouting numerous Rite-Aids the last few days and I've sp...

thanks for the update Your Welcome, I checked an additional four Targets and none of them are on clearance, very unusual. I saw these as well yesterday whil out with my girlfriend.

Macho Machines and Skyward X on clearance at $2.78, YMMV.

Checked back the TRUs, it looks like the FOV 1:72 vehicles and battle extreme series didn't show up at all, the racks have all been removed. All the other TRUs have the new FOV 1:72 planes everywhere, some stores have the newly repacked 1:32 soldier sets, but very few have any 1:32 vehicles. This al...

I went to TRU today and they had the BBI WWII weapons sets stocked! They were priced $2.98 each, they used to be $4.99 last year wasn't it? Anybody see any at their TRUs? I picked up 2 weapon set B as I missed getting that one last year.

First, I see some FoV 6X6 trucks in 1/32 on that shelf and some interesting looking prices on the shelf tags. Mistake? What are they getting for the GI trucks there? We don't have any in my AO and I'm not hot of spending $55 at an e-tailer for a truck that I plan to convert. On the Assault Force - ...

I checked 3 TRUs, no Wespe anywhere yet.
IIRC, the AAV and T-72 are both $24.99

Interesting finds Tman, it looks like Unimax's action series FOV is not dead as originally thought? I just hit another TRU and the pegs are up for 1:32 and 1:72 FOV stock alongside the Assault Force stock, no products out yet through. Did you see any 1:32 or 1:72 vehicles? I spotted both the 1:32 El...

Already being discussed over here: http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/viewtopic.php?t=18010 Assault Force is Unimax's new line for TRU, its basically Bravo Team repackaged. The LAV-25 and Sherman are the only known 1:18 vehicles out at TRU now. Here's some pics of the figures: http://img196.imagesha...

Yes its true, Unimax has rebranded the "Bravo Team" line as "Assault Forces" for TRU. Didn't see the LAV-25 but the Sherman is in stock along with the Deltas, SEALs, paratroopers, and the rest of the 1:32s and 1:48s.
Don't get too excited about the LAV-25 through, the troop compartment doesn't open.

Took the Abrams and F-16 out of the package. The Abrams' main gun does not elevate, its static. The amount of Die-Cast on the Abrams is very light, it's located only at the bottom plate. The display stand for the Abrams and the Abrams itself doesn't have any pegs for the two to be attached too. I co...

I was checking out the Matchbox section at a local Target, and noticed Unimax has a small scale dicast line of Tanks and Planes, Much smaller, than 1:72. They had New Shermans as well. Thanks for the head's up Fritzkrieg! They are closer to 1:144 scale, I created a new thread with pics in the 1:32 ...

NEW! Unimax's FOV Macho Machines & Skyward X

I hit Target and found these new vehicles and aircraft made by Unimax. These toys were not placed together in the same aisle with Unimax's Bravo Team and Fearless Forces, they were in the other toy section with all the race cars, tech decks and such. Its a very odd place to put them, I don't think a...

Saw the new Battle Extreme packs, the 1:72 figures are the same as the 4th ID set we got in the FOV version, these guys are less dark looking through, but very blah with no one to fight. I took a quick glance of the helicopters, the Apache looks pretty much the same in plastic form, only the Black H...

Not bad Tman, even through the new ROC stocks don't reach your area fast enough, as least they loaded the new Unimax stock pretty early for you. I'm still waiting for several Targets to finish their toy aisle resets. At the moment only the new 1:72 vehicles are out. Out of the new 1:72s, I'm very cu...
