Master Box has sent news of an all new product and an update on another. There Pin Up figure set is due for release in May this year and they have also announced that they will be continuing the Volkssturm theme with the May release of a Volkssturm figure with a bike and a panzer Faust. Both of these sets are being released in 1/35th scale.
35179 - “Volkssturm. Tank Hunter. Germany, 1944-1945” – the kit consists of two sprues and the photo-etched plate that allow to assemble the figure of German teenager- bicyclist who is ready to fight with the tanks of allies. Despite the simplicity, the story is rather dramatic and emotionally filled, as it reflects the tragedy of the last months of fights in the territory of Germany. The kit is richly detailed, and the parts for assembly of the bicycle allow creating of the model of museum level.

35183 - “Pin-up” – the kit consists of six figures of girls in legendary “pin-up” style. We would like to emphasize that this style is rather popular nowadays too, moreover, exactly now the interest to this style returns, and the presence of such number of figures of girls in the kit is an excellent present for modellers, as it allows stepping aside from traditional stories for dioramas and creating of something original. We would like to pay attention especially to the scale in that the kit is made: scale height of girls allows using of these figures both in 1/35 and in 1/32 scale with every reason, as six figures of girls, not interconnected by a general story line up presents a lot of opportunities for the modeller and allow to decorate a wide range of the models from ground military or civil equipment to models of aircrafts. Thus, by buying this kit, the modeller receives an opportunity to create 6 different dioramas ofown liking and to use figures both together with models of the most various equipment of different manufacturers and as an independent sculpture.

Gotta' agree with Biggles2 Maybe he’s just tickled to be riding a bicycle loaded with Panzerfuasts! … I think I would be too! MasterBox is certainly getting “mileage” out of these little movers: Bicycle kit + figure variety = many possibilities. … Of course, “milage may vary!" —mike

He thinks he's in the lead for the 1945 "Tour de Deutschland".

What!! Can't Masterbox make anything other than bicycles? What are we going to see next - a delivery version from Schulze's Deli? A tandem for 2 Volksgrenadiers? A rickshaw bicycle? A bicycle with infant trailer?

Actually, a rickshaw bicycle sounds interesting!

Say yes to rickshaws! ... and maybe Ho Chi Minh Trail bicycles loaded-down with ridiculous amounts of supplies!

Which is one of the big reasons I have stopped buying locally. I just can no longer afford to spend 3-4x on a kit here in Canada then what I would spend with shipping and currency conversion overseas.
