Most likely EBay or a trading forum - it's OOP

The Lincoln County Line, formally a VLS Corp range of products, was taken over by Squadron when they bought out VLS. If you look at at the Squadron site you'll only find 2 Lincoln County products listed. The others have presumably been dumped - possibly quite literally.

Hello Rudi, thank you for the information. E-bay was a good idea, I tried that but no luck.

nice ! that would be perfect. I will go check on that. A big thank you. I normally just build stand alone models. However I was really inspired by a photo in a warsaw pact book that I have to tackle a diorama. I think your suggestion would work fine. I appreciate it.

Ok, stephen. Thank you. It might be better that I didn't find it in that case.

Hey gogs007, I took your advice. It was hard to find, but I contacted Ron at RED FROG Hobbies in New York USA. Ron was very helpful and resourceful. He seems to believe he can get the figures. I will order from him if he can. It was really nice to call a hobby shop and get a LIVE PERSON on the phone. RED FROG Hobbies seems to be willing to get what you may need !!! I would reccomend them. Thanks once again gogs007. GOOD IDEA !!!

I read about the Lincoln County Line figur several years ago and the review said it wasn't a very good figure and the Dragon version would be better although it's still outdated and doesn't have good details.

Vince, thank you. If I hadn't already found out about the dragon set, I would have definitly pursued this route. Still, good to know. Ron at RED FROG called me back A.S.A.P. this morning and has the dragon set on the way to me. Talk about GOOD service ! ! ! Momann, thank you as well for information. I have only seen the lincoln county figure on line. It doesn't look bad, I did see a favorable review about the figure from squadron. However I do agree with earlier mentioned, the figure does appear to be large. look at it's stance ! That wouldn't have affected my situation though, as I planned on having the figure firing out of the rear troop hatch. I saw something in writing saying this would be something at Battalion level. Unconfirmed though. I wasn't able to find any pictures on-line supporting this. I appreciate everyones help thus far.
