I was just wondering about the "limited edition" label on these beautiful 3 in 1 kits. Does that mean that if I don't buy them now, I won't be able to do that in the future? No more production, no restocks?
Should I get a loan and start buying? (Funny thing is that I don't even like German armour... the kits themselves are worth building.)

Also: I ad this issue with the 1/72 T-34. The rubber links were too short. I had to force it on, and the driving wheel didn't take it very easily - it tilted in. Is there a waz to place them on without breaking the plastic?

What Dragon 3 in 1's are you talking about exactly? I have a few laying around but I didn't see any "limited edition" marking's on them. Now you have me wondering Iif I should go out and snag a few if I don't have them already!

ANY Dragon 3 in 1... (Initial, late -who cares? Did I mention I don't particularly like German armour? ) Just look at the ads on Armorama.

I don't want to start a panic here... (++)

Well, as far as I know only the Afrika Tiger is limited edition. This is a special edition with only one production run being sold on the internet.

This is an interesting idea. That is, if applied to the new M1A1 AIM kit. A limited run, M1IP kit, while not a big possible seller, a limited run kit would be nice for those who are asking for it. Or a USMC version, with all the differences on a sprue or two, as a limited run kit would be great. Might help out the modern folks who, it would seem, have little appeal outside of the states.

Either way, its just another example of Dragon leading the way.

Not to worry. Anything you miss can always be picked up on places like E-bay. I've got a few 'out of production' things from there already.
