I was looking on eBay at Joes and came across Forces of Valor in a military section, it's the first time i've seen these, they look awesome don't they, especially the WW II series of German vehicles, are they sold at all in Australia ?

I don't know if they're sold in australia, but you can search for other similar military figures and vehicles by looking for Bravo Team (another name for the 1:18 scale Forces of Valor line) and Unimax (the company that makes them along with other scales), Elite Force (another older but very similar line - comes in 1:32, 1:18 and 1:6 scale) and bbi (the company that makes them), and 21st century (another company that made similar stuff but recently folded).

There are a few companies that do true 1:18 scale. And most of it is amazing. You've just reached the tip of the iceberg my friend.
For a ton more info and pics there's a forum I frequent that's dedicated to this end of the hobby. Check it ot in the link below. http://www.nethijinx.com/ Last edited by Cold Slither; 05-30-2009 at 09:54 AM.. |

Yep. After finding this stuff, you're probably going to turn your nose up at most of Hasbro's stuff like the Pit if you haven't already.

You can usually get stuff on ebay shipped from China, so that may be cheaper for you?

I do the forces of valor 1/72 collection. They are coming out with a Panther in the next month or so.
I did the micro military.

Yea I found some German WWII Tanks on eBay and thought they looked great and wondered what it all was and saw it was Forces of Valor, so had a look at the main site, the detail is awesome, they look great.

just so you know and in case you dont want to over pay, the force of valor vehicles come in at 20-30 bucks at retail.
