The Armored Fighting Vehicles of World War II line is back on track, now that the holiday season is fast coming to an end and production has resumed in Asia. We’ve done some shuffling around and the next six vehicles in the range are currently up on our site and available for pre-order. Currently, the next batch of vehicles are slated to arrive in the May/June time frame, although this could slip if issues related to the global supply chain have not been remedied. Moreover, there has been a slight bump up in the price to $39.99. Still, considering their weight, size, features and overall appearance, the line represents great value. When compared with Corgi’s smaller 1:72 scale vehicles now selling for $74.99 or Forces of Valor’s 1:32 scale series pegged at $89.99-$129.99, the AFV series speaks for itself and offers many vehicles that are simply not available elsewhere from any manufacturer.
One final note. If you pre-ordered any of these items at $34.99 we will still honor this price once your order is ready to be shipped. Any future orders will, however, be set at the revised price of $39.99. Our original goal was to release six vehicles every sixty days. Obviously both the pandemic and disruption in the world wide logistical network has altered things somewhat.
In a related announcement, we will soon be unveiling an all-new series dubbed Warships of World War II. Imagination notwithstanding, this new series offers up a wide assortment of diecast preassembled battleships and aircraft carriers that sailed the seven seas during the second world war. Each is scaled at 1:1250 and five warships have made the initial cut with more due to put into port in the coming year. Enjoy!
