Hey, guys ... guess what ... I finally got my 81007!!! My good friend and über-buddy Carlos found it, bought it, and then sent it to me. I couldn't be happier! Looks terrific sitting along side my other FOVs. Just want to thank Carlos for going to all that trouble. He's da man!

Thanks, Carlos! PM'd you.

Thanks for your help, gents! I’m hot on the tail of a MINT 81007. I’ll keep you posted.

Excellent commentary, Oz. Learned a lot about metal vs. polystone manufacturing. Great post.

Now that Oz posted a nifty pic of a King & Country Hummel (on another thread), I’d really like to know how K&C compares to Forces of Valor. Question: If you had to choose between the two, which collection would you keep and which would you toss? And why?

Thanks, Cupola! That’s the one, alright. If I can’t find this Sherman closer to home, I’ll give Global a try.

Yep, Oz. It’s been a comedy of errors: I post the same thread twice (whata dolt!), and then the duplicate thread with all the writing gets zapped. Love it! Anyway, I’ve got a theory. I keep everything in their boxes because the little kid in me loves the model-shop look. As silly as it sounds...

Sorry, everybody. Don't know how I managed it, but I submitted the same thread twice. Dumb, huh? You'll find the other thread under "Perfection Or Not Perfection -- That Is the Question." My apologies.

Thanks, OZ! If it comes to that, I'll definitely let you know. Sounds like you've got one whale of a Dragon collection. And I agree: Dragon Armor models are extremely detailed, especially for such a small scale. Their paint jobs are tops, too. I don't know. Maybe I'll keep my Dragons and...

Oh, well. Whoever got it is getting a great model. I'll keep looking. :(

Why? Did somebody just purchase that thing?

Again, jazzeum, thanks! Nice to have friends on Treefrog!!! :)

Truth be known, desk – the Pershing is one of my favorites, too. Mine came with a detached road wheel, which I found bouncing in the box behind the model. Had to remove the tank and slap the wheel back on (wasn't easy, I can tell you). The Pershing is downright cool. It has that – I don’t know...

Thanks, jazzeum! I appreciate the offer. Heaven knows this particular models is all but impossible to come by, but I've got my sights on a boxed 81007. Not only boxed, but MINT (if you can believe it). My chances are slim to zilch, but I'm going to keep trying to find the blasted thing anyway...

Warrior, I’d really appreciate it if you’d ask around for a FOV 1/32 81007 Sherman. If they’ve got one, or if you can get one, by all means let me know.

Actually, Easy, I’ve got so many FOV favorites it’s impossible to pick just one. Honestly, these models are fabulous.

You can still find the Pershing, plus the Panzers you mentioned, Easy. Just go to Goggle, write something like “Forces of Valor 80016 U.S. M26 Pershing,” and see where it takes you. Right now (as we speak) you can buy this little honey for $29.00 (USD)...

Personally, I can’t wait for these new bad boys to hit the market. The new camo jobs look good, but I really like the additional troopers/riders. Makes for very realistic models. Guess you have to be a bit crazy like me to really appreciate them. In fact, I’m expecting the new 80401 German...

Easy, yeah ... I collect WWII and Modern. Mostly the enthusiast series, though I own a couple of action series models, too. Love ‘em all. As for the dioramas, I’d just love to buy those, too; but I concentrated on single FOV models, which kind of whopped my money supply right on the nose...

In the lexicon of FOV collecting, Easy, you could catagorize this particular model as ‘Super Rare.’ I’ve look high and low, this way, that way and every way. And I still can’t find it. And this coming from a guy who prides himself on finding practically anything on the net. Yea, if you’ve got...
