Yay an SEP!

Whats the deal with those new figs? Not normally my thing, but they look very nice indeed, they actually look more detailed better than Gen 2 figs. And whats with the quote 'a lifelike representation of the battlefield' is this some new range or something?

I'm awating news/updates on their Stryker. I do like what I''ve seen of the AFV Club Stryker (and that one looks better than the Trumpeter offering), but I would like to see a comparison of the Dragon/Trumpeter/AFV Club kits before deciding.

A new Panzer III? what the heck am I gonna do with the stack of old Dragon/Gunze that are in the stash?
I like the look of those figures, the level of detail is outstanding.

It's nice to see the Pz III line is getting some continued attention as a follow-on to the StuG III G...and not as a "Premium" kit either but a new tooling.
