get my issue #4 at the curve borders yesterday. they just restock and has full rack of it... around 5 numbers. grab those while u can!

"There are 110 parts in the series, released fortnightly. Part 1 was released on 1 March 2010 and Part 110 is due for release on 8 May 2014. Issue 40 was released on 1 September 2011"

got this from a seller in nz. didn't realize have to wait until 2014 to complete the entire collection. yet, malaysia sudah stop at issue 5. quite a big risk when it comes to this kind of collection, my 2cents

lucky buying selectively, it they stop sudden due to low sales then nothing can do bout it.....

also found my # 4 at amcorp.. left 3 when i bought mine.. then when my fren go look for it, already sold out.. that like 15 min apart.. haizz

as i said....they are testing market now

the magazine will surely back to local stores after May 2012...as always, like other this type of magazine before

Oh well, it's going to be quiet here for a while since we won't be getting any further issues from now on unless got some breakthru.

ok, so am gonna ask this.. .. can we fix the wheels for the jagdpanther tank ourselves and how to do it? pic would be appreciates.

I was at POPULAR ONE U on Sun. There was 2 copies of the Jagpanther tank issue on display rack near magazine section. One of the tanks had its wheels dropped off from the tracks. No other damages spotted but you definately have to take it out from packaging and glue the wheel back.

Damage could be due to poor handling conditions.

I was looking at it and I dun think you can do it unless you break the wheels from their axis and re-glue them again.

I just notice 2 things, the screw for this tank are triangle types and the tank is made of metal(I always tot it was just plastic only)

i had thought that are way to do it without breaking it.. lol.. ok guess i just leave it as is. thanks..

Btw, though out of topic but what are the famous makers for diecast tanks? I currently know only for diecast cars.

The other die-cast tank i have is made by SIKU or MatchBox but those are just one off. Didnt noticed any in retail...Toys R Us have alot of tanks but all are plastic type.

Ic ok. thx for the info. So far I've only dug up Corgi over the internet. I'm guessing 1:50 and 1:72 are the common tank scale for diecast.

One manufacturer is hobby master...

They built 1:72 scale of armored vehicles...mainly ww 2

Ic. Interesting... thx for the like amatamin...

You might want to try removing them slowly. I for one also is finding a better method to rectify such problem

Tiger I, have you swapped the wheels yet?


the last issue had the "reply card" that says that they will send the 5th copy of something...anyone sent it yet?

I've sent mine...but there's still no news...

Nope, I'm scared I might break it or worse. I'll leave it for now as it is.
And as for the reply card, no, still haven't got anything yet. Waiting is a game I hate to participate

I already start collecting since issue 1 appear at jelutong morning market stall. I send in the card but nothing come out. Call them up and they told me wait till april when it will be re-launch. Yes, you can take out the part and glue it back it. I take it out by removing the two screw below the tanks and re-paint the display stand. Add some grease grey on the track too. Will cut out the side of my CPU casing and mount the display stand on the glass so I can display it out on my Casing.

Which model are we talking about? I don't even know how to get the Jagdpanther out from it's base because of it's triangular screw thingy

Wow, it was quite quiet here some time. Anyway, I'm still short of the first two issue. Well, that's some news of it's possible relaunched in April. I was already drooling over the Tamiya Master Collection diecast
