Wow. The trade war just got ugly. I'm talking 'what the heck was I drinking coyote ugly morning' ugly.

But brilliant marketing, they'll sell a million of 'em.

The "Santa Sherman" reminds me of a line from the movie "The Santa Clause" where Tim Allen (aka Scott Calvin --S.C.) is protesting a presentation by his Toy Manufacturing colleagues, and says --"Oh sure, look kids, here comes Santa Claus tooling down the boulevard in a Panzer!" Or words to that effect-- the drawing of the tank they used in the movie looks a lot like a Sherman too--it was called "The Total Tank, and had Santa in the cdr's hatch.

YES, the trade war is here, china one, trump zero. But honestly the real story is this: Trumpeter missed a great opportunity and dropped the ball on this kit!!!!

give it a couple weeks and you'ok be able to find Chinese knockoffs on eBay. They did a great job on the figure, they even got his constipated irritated hemorrhoids expression.

Does **ckwits figure come with a stand you shove up his rear end?
'Cos if it does, I'm buying two...but i would swap out the hands for 1/48 scale ones....

Doesn't Valkyrie make a set with a Pukin?

Actually, on second thoughts, I don't think I could stand having a model of President Moron in my house, sorry Meng.

Not funny. Sad, really, that a majority of comments come from people who aren't even from the US, and have no clue what they're talking about other than what the leftist media lets them hear and read.
And I wonder what the moderators would do if someone were to say... make dumb@$$ comments about Obama's skin color. You might find yourself with the Toolman, i.e. outside of the circle of trust.

Yes. Arguing over politicians is pointless as they ALL are worthy of scorn. Let's stick to model building here.

I disagree with BILL C. Your statement of "LOCK DOWN" Is the very problem of the 1st amendment. Bill's statement is anti demrocacy, and farrr right. Demrocacy Is rule by the people! The exchange of informatiion. To respect the views of ;others as your own. Bill you might want to repick your statment as a staff member.

Think you better check your math, 10 comments from US based folks and 3 from overseas (and really shouldn't count the original poster). I see where Bill is coming from though--this is getting to be less and less about the kit. I for one would like to know about the Santa Sherman--like the scale. Would it make a good tree ornament? or is it "over the top".

Nothing wrong with my math. When I posted, I thought I was replying to the other thread, which at the time indeed had more foreign posters. That one jumped the queue while I was distracted by whatever the Kardashians were up to. But who's counting? It's not like I'm telling Jews when to celebrate their holidays or metal workers what angle iron is.

What's next - lecturing Clarence Thomas on constitutional law?

Lock it Bill! Besides (Puts on tinfoil hat) it is a Chinese plot to release this kit for obvious reasons. Look how well it is working just in this thread

Not to get technical, but this is actually a Constitutional Republic. It's actually better than a true democracy but in the interest of simplicity kids are taught "we ur teh democracy hur hur" and then we blur through nearly 250 years of history before cramming for standardized tests constructed to pass the most kids regardless of actual knowledge by setting a very low bar.

But as for the kit:

I only build German WWII so I am not the target audience.

Unfortunately, the United States has lost the right to complain about the opinions of foreigners on their politics the day they became a superpower, most of the US policies and its presidents have an effect on the life of 100% of the world population so willy-nilly you have to accept it ... I can understand that it can 'bother but it's to late....
