                        Heard from my model guy and read on other forum, that Dragon is targeting Trumpeter and AFV Club with their latest batch of new "value packed" models. Especially AFV Club, with their recent release of 251D and PAK 40, also their relationship with Merit International (Dragon's arch rivel in the action figure world). It's not hard to come to the conclusion that AFV Club is gonna get their butt kick. I think there's going to be more to come, either more models at better value, or models that's more accurate and detailed. Either way, it's a good time to be a modeler~~Cool [8D]

                        Cool, panther, I will have to try them out. I have yet to do a figure. Kinda gives me the shakes to think about it.

                        Now I see why I haven't been buying Tamiya kits and been getting Dragon. Its to bad that Dragon doesnt offer vinyl tracks along with the indy ones. Oh well.

                        Well for $10 less on the Pak, they just took my money from AFV. As for the 251/D, they probably are going to take even more. Have to see the reviews on those kits. Dragon rocks.
