Well 'slick, they didn't have stuff this cool when we were little. But now I suppose this stuff is more "collectable item" than toy. I mean, demographically, what 8-12 year olds (assuming that is the recommended age) are into WWII toys?

If you're using them as static props for a tank battlefield, that's one thing. If you're actively playing with them, pushing the Hanomag around and making "vroom-vroom" noises, that's another...

I can almost take offense with what you said, kuhndog599. It has been my experience that Wallyworld has carried more cool stuff above and beyond even what Toys R Us or other dedicated toy stores stock on their shelves. The whole Ultimate Soldier range, the 1/6 M5A1 Stuart, etc. Other toy stores are afraid to offer the WWII themed toys, especially German/Nazi wares... Even Wal-Mart, if I recall correctly, succumbed to complaints about the ever-offensive Swastika on some of those very toys.

my bad, its just that my walmart doesnt carry anything. the most interesting things they carry are wwii planes, which there are hardly any (2-3 of the same type).
