I'd love to hear an update as well. The set looks great and it appears that they have vast improvements over their last set.

Thanks Jim! I know for me it'd be great to see these guys updated as Rangers in Afghanistan possible with SCARs!

Hi Paul,

just been back from the Nuremberg Toy Fair, I asked the owner of MB about this set. All he could say that it`s still WIP, but had no release date. I also asked abot the wrong weapons in their first Iraq figure set and he said that he is aware that they are not suitable, but he won`t change this. Perhaps it will take longer with the checkpoint since MB usually uses photos of real soldiers for the products.
