First Legion is extremely pleased to present our first "big cat" with set NOR068 Tiger I "222" for our Battle of Normandy Series. The Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E mounted the very high powered 8.8cm KwK 36 main armament which had a flat trajectory owing to the high muzzle velocity making it extremely accurate at very long ranges. With 100mm of frontal armor it was difficult for allied guns to penetrate. This tank remained in production until August 1944 when it was replaced by the Tiger II. Given its combat history, the "Tiger" is one of the most iconic tanks of the second world war. Finally with a German vehicle taking the field in Normandy, there is now something to destroy all of those First Legion Sherman tanks! While we have tried to increase the production numbers on this tank, quantities are somewhat limited, so we strongly suggest you order immediately to avoid disappointment.

NOR068 German Tiger I, 2nd Co 101st Heavy Panzer Battalion $349.95
Ships Early May

Wooooooohoooooooo!!!!!

Just placed my pre-order for one of these beauties. This was my first time ever pre-ordering an item and there was NO WAY I was going to miss out on getting one of these Tigers. Cannot wait to get it in my hands!
 
This looks awesome and the pic's look even better than the original sneak peak pic some months ago. I'll definitely be putting my order in to grab one!

Just placed my preorder. Don't want to miss oThis one. Looking forward to May!
 
I look forward to a side by side review with the Figarti Tiger I #222. Interesting that both First legion and Figarti chose to make the same Tiger I.
 
I already make order for this Tiger. Hopefully 2nd version and tank crew will follow soon.
 
It's been a long wait, but finally our First Legion Tiger's are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!just got my notification the my pre-order is in the books!! as there was no way in Hell I was missing out on this one, the detail, weathering and design of this Tiger I looks fantastic and most of you know that usually the stock photos don't measure up to the actual product in hand, thanks to all of those involved at First legion for creating this beauty and a job well done as advertised...Sammy
 
Nice looking Tiger....But I already have the Figarti#222 Version.....I hope that FL will do a Winter Tiger soon
 
Oh boy, could ya please give us a countdown to sell out ? I'm on the edge of my seat .

LOL reminds me of the good ol' days of panic buying Figarti AFV's but w/out the push to move the needle.

I highly doubt there will be a second version of this Tiger seeing how much goes into the production with the cost, but I could be wrong. I do look forward to a tank crew though. :salute::
 
The GTWC* is still at 6.






*Gebhard Tiger Watch Count :wink2:

Come on boys and girls need this one to sellout before midnight, I've got a Bier riding on it. We need some more collectors to have a few after dinner drinks, the wives to nock off and the wallets to loosen up a bit :wink2:
