I Spoke with Mr. Richard Rogers,President of his Company in in California Toy Company UNIMAX/Forces -of -Valor, and they're going into a NEW 1/24th Scale Size Vehicles! But, still Maintaing the 1/32ND Scale Size also! I would have like to see them Originally, go into the 1/30TH Scale,but it seem that isn't going to Happen sooner or Later!The First 1/24th Scale Production as Mentioned is the Tiger I Tank, and the M4 Sherman Tank!

It's amazing to me John how you talk with the president of 21st Century and the president of FOV and you aren't even a reseller of either of their products like I am and I can't get them to return my calls.

You must be one persuasive person.

By the way, his name is Roger Richards, might want to get that right next time you post.

A Tiger and a Sherman. What a originality! What innovations!

What's the point of 1:24th??? 1:24 scale is a very awkward place to put products.

When we used to sell diecast cars, the main scales of interest were 1:43 and 1:18. Anything made in 1:24 was shelf fodder.

Why don't they invest in making more vehicles - why not a V series? Or they could tackle 1:32nd boats. Maybe even a limited rail series.

FoV/Unimax makes a solid product. They should expand on the offerings instead of re-hashin in a larger scale.

And, I agree, this Gambale guy certainly gets to talkin with all the big wigs...

I believe G scale trains are 1:24 and it may be geared toward them as crossover items.

"G" scale is ill-defined. On the same track width the train scale can vary from 1:22.5 to 1/32nd. I agree that it's a wierd scale for tanks. Franklin mint has done an M4A3E8 and M1A1 in 1/24th, and Tamiya has done a few 1/25th tanks that were primarily meant for remote control.

Both FoV and 21C seem to be run by guys who don't listen to the majority of the collectors.

a large variety of scales is difficult to collect, tough on the brain. I have a 1/6 rc stuart,g i joe size? wonderful creature,sound,operation etc and takes up about 2x2.5

I personally have no interest in that scale. I have heard rumors that FOV may not be doing so well financially. I have no idea if that is true but, I like their products and hope that this new scale isnt a last ditch effort to save them and will end up finishing them off. I really like their 1/32 scale stuff alot.

I have not heard anything about them being in trouble either, however, when is the last time you saw their tanks/vehicles in any stores. I definitely will not buy this new scale. I have almost all of their vehicles including three of the 1/16 tanks that I bought at a good price . I will buy the Elephant, but heard that the new truck looks like a kids toy ,so I will hold off ordering it until I see it personally. I hope that someone in FOV reads these posts and starts making sound decisions. I will continue to purchase the 1:32 vehicles that come out. Regards, Larry.

I've got the the FOV new US Truck & it very good , but did not like the elephant as I think the Dragon 1/35 one as a better paint job
I'm not a great lover of FOV weathering on there tanks as it very over the top on there tanks

When I think some WW2 Toy, should be made by ANY Toy Manfacturer Company; I will go to the EXTREME Action to Speak with the TOP Executive's, including the President of these Toy Companies, and Lay- it- on the -Line; and SUGGEST to them, what they should MAKE, for us Collector's. I don't have to be a DEALER, to Express my wanting 's, or Concern's, when it comes to Toy Collecting! ---- Confusious Says: Speak Out or Stay in the Corner Like a MARMALUKE( Moron), in the Italian Language!

I was once on the receiving end of one of your calls. Yo spoke with a woman I worked with and made it seem like your call was extremely important.

I was called away from a large sale to hear you on the other end telling me how I had to tell Andy what you wanted him to make and exactly why and exactly when, in what livery.

I really hope you have stopped doing this to people. It is not good.

It's one thing to post wishes and wants on a forum but quite another when you interupt someones buisness. Believe it or not, many requests from customers do filter up the line.

Did you mean "mammalucco", which derives from Mameluke, or Marmaduke, the cartoon Great Dane?
