Damian,

Approximately late Spring to early Summer 2006.

Thanks Brad.
The years are all rolling into one now so I could not remember clearly.
July 2006 sounds about right.

Brad,
Fantastic piece for your collection, too cool!

Gents,I was fortunate to be able to get the Panther Plt, the Winter Panther and the Autumn Bergepanther. The Winter Panther is my favourite vehicle along with the Figarti JS-2. I'm still looking for a Jagdpanther.

I would love them to restart.

There were some really great discussions when the HB panthers came out. Interesting to go back and read them now. My favorite tank is still the HB Winter Panther. That was a fantastic piece. The Soviet Panther was an interesting one. It lacked some of the aesthetics of the other Panthers, but made up for it in character. I wonder how many of those they sold?

Brad that's a neat story about your #1 Panther. I have two HB Panthers, one summer version and the winter version. I consider them 2 of the gems of my collection.

Great pics ! I have the HB winter version and really treasure it. Sadly, I had a couple of the Normandy versions and sold them off when I decided to focus on the Ardennes.
I missed the HB winter jagdpanther-seemed like they were swooped up as soon as they hit the market.

I just picked up one of their diorama pieces that they made in connection with the Tigers. It's quite nice and goes well with any 1/30 scale tank or troops.

 

[nasirkasmani]

brad, is it the normandy gates or the rubbled streets?

 

[jazzeum]

Nasir,

It's the street not the gates which I would also love to get if anybody has one they want to sell

Can you post a photo of the one you just picked up

I will later today although you can see them in the Tigers gallery page. I just took it out and looks small for a tank. I seem to recall they made two sizes. However, I need to go back and check since I'm not sure. Even if small for a tank, it's good for troops.

I checked on Sager's and you are correct - there were 2 sizes. I had forgotten that. They don't show up very often.
The small version of the ruined building and street just sold on e-bay. Would love to get the 2 big display pieces.

I'm the one who bought the one on eBay

It's a nice piece.

I knew that. I was the one who made 2 bids after your first bid and didn't get to a leading bid, then realised who I was bidding against. I would really like to get the large pieces and not the small ones.

I think the large displays were a special order item that served as a base for the HB Gold Edition Tiger tank. Were they ever available as a stock item?

I wonder if HB could make more of the large display pieces. I would take one of each.

They were sold separately as a stock item. I have both large and both small dioramas, all of which I purchased separately. Have you checked Michigan Toy Soldiers? I got mine there about 2 years ago, and they still had them listed as being in stock.

 

[jazzeum]

Michigan is where I purchased it from and I just talked to them and nothing left of HB except the Jeeps.

I don't think the dios are something HB would make again; it's somewhere along the lines of the tanks. Gone but not forgotten.

Any chance at all that if we started an online petition we could persuade HB to make the odd vehicle now and again?.
