3) has been discussed before by Andy & unfortunately the Patton estate is a bit on the greedy side. I'm not sure 'The General' could fly if issued with Patton's personal set of wheels. I suppose they could sell the truck & figure seperately but even then it would be rolling dice. Thank Mickey Mouse for that.
5) I don't think timeline would be a big issue. Andy's trademark is throwing curveballs every now & then
7) DD27 is one of my favorites, and I'm pleased that they did the M4A1E8...but does anyone know why they went A1 instead of A3?:
