Chris Tay,

Please get War Park to make the Opel Blitz as a tracked Maultier in camo and grey versions.

Us East Front collectors can not get enough supplies to the troops with only the wheeled versions.

Also, how about some early SS riders for the tanks and trucks?

Hi Joe, Nice to chat again.

Yes, I am. I took it up while I was based in Shenzhen back in 2015 and felt that their products were pretty good. So, I started to hand carry back some of my own purchases from China each quarter to introduce them during our Singapore (collectors) club meets. One thing led to another. Back then, it was just the Kharkov range and War Park was a relatively young brand, Finally, we came to an agreement to have this done more regularly as a dealer. (Please note that it is not my core business and I am mostly doing this out of enjoyment of the hobby and meeting/making new collector friends. Most of the collectors who have purchased from me will know how I am with them)

Rgds,Chris

Chris,

Very cool, thanks or sharing that. I like that you are doing this out of the enjoyment of the hobby and meeting/making new friends. It's so much more fun if there others to share the hobby with. So it's good to hear of a dealer who is actually excited about the product and is a collector as well. Do you ship worldwide?

Cheers,
Joe

. There are also lower tonnage versions of Opel Blitz trucks. It is up to you to decide if the FL is a lower tonnage. I don't really know, nor am I suggesting it is. But there are different versions of Opel Blitz.

Rgds,Chris

Chris,

Thanks to you and Larry for the reminder of the different size Opel Blitz's. Here's pictures of 1/35 models of the 1.5-ton Blitz and the 3-ton Blitz next to each other. The size difference looks almost identical as the size difference between the War Park and First Legion Blitz trucks. The 1.5-ton version also had a version with a rectangular cargo bed and canvas cover.

Regardless of what First Legion intended to make, in my brain the War Park model will be the 3-ton version and the First Legion model will be the 1.5-ton version, and I will display them together with no problems.

Apologies to War Park for saying the Blitz was too large. Great looking model...now make a tracked Maultier!!!

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Joe, Yes, I do ship worldwide, except for embargo/restricted countries (right now you know where). I have a website for the purpose of taking orders worldwide www.toysoldiersgalleria.com. If you see Retired, Last Pieces and an available quantity at my site, they are probably out of stock at War Park and are truly the last pieces available.

Just a side note for the AFVs still available on my site. For the grey Opel, 150 pieces made of this colour, last 3 pieces left at my site and sold out elsewhere. Next version will be the winter version. For the Tiger I (grey with streaks of brown), only about 100 pieces made. Last few pieces left and sold out elsewhere.

Rgds,Chris

Thanks Steve for your response and valuable insights.

Yes, I would also love for them to make the Maultier. WP is quite behind on their releases and we all wish they can speed up, even on those whereby we saw a sneak peek.....

Whenever, I speak to them, they have fed back about the supply chain challenges and factory capacity. It will be great if there is a business model whereby they can step up to a higher production rate for their AFVs such that costs can be amortised. Most of us would probably buy the Maultier if it is produced to the same standards as this Blitz truck. As for more soldiers standing and sitting on their AFVs, this look like a higher probability and possibility.

Rgds,Chris

All bad news, tired of the size issue with all these manufacturers.

There is no size issue with this War Park one and it is fully clarified. For size issues, please look elsewhere on other forums. Otherwise, such a post can be easily misconstrued. Much appreciated.

In addition to the Opel Blitz (Fantastic Work), the 2 Gestapo men and the Metal Ammos, the already older, Bergepanzer IV has also arrived with me today.
The Bergepanzer is certainly one of the best models I have been able to have in my hand so far, very detailed and very filigree.
Once I've taken it out of the box, I never get it packed again.

Really great.
