When Toy Magazines Announced the XTreme Detail 1:18 Scale WW2 Soldiers

I was so excited when I saw these articles. Even more excited when I saw them at Toys R Us. Still have a solid collection to this day. Several other companies (Blue Box International, and even Target Bravo Team) added to this awesome scale for this awesome genre. 

Motorworks 1:18 Scale Tiger Tank (Tiger I AUSF. E Tank)

I bought one of these at Walmart in the early 2000s when they first came out. Saw one at the Gettysburg Toy Soldier store for cheap - likely because of the water damage to the box. Doesn't bother me none since I'm an opener. Anyway, added another tank to the collection. 

Random Modern 1:18 Scale Marine Diorama

The mountains of Afghanistan. More from this set up later.

BBI 1:18 Scale Marine Light Armored Recon Vehicles

I purchased the two 1:18 scale Light Armored Recon Vehicles from Target when they were on clearance for about $20 a piece almost 20 years ago. I finally decided to sell them. Unboxed, I got $80 for each. Not bad. Anyway, snapped a few photos before shipping them off.

Random 1:18 Scale WW2 Airborne Troops

Finally pulled out some 1:18 scale building and troopers. 

21st Century Toys 1:18 XTreme Detail Building Sets

Dug these out a bit ago. I remember stacks of these for $10 each on clearance at Toys R Us back around 2003-2004. Awesome sets. I sold off many for a good profit. This is what remains.

And one spare Marine who sat on my shelf for awhile. I opened him and he joined his brothers.
