So I have finally bought my last two needed series two planes. After more than a year of putting it off I just placed my order for the las 2 Vals that I needed. So I now have a complete set, with multiples of many planes. For whatever reason I just wasn't feeling the need to get the two look alike Vals. While I have two of the Val with the yellow highlights th other two had stared at me via the internet and LGS' display for months. With Nexus now gone and the uncertainty of getting their old product reissued anytime in the near future I decided I should pick them up while I can still find them. So now I am anxious for "Series III" more than I was just a couple days ago. No worries though I already have those coming to me along with a Starter set once they hit the open market. It will be a lot of phone putting those Vals with all the other pieces. I do hae two more planes I want to get though. One more Bader, and one more Desert Stuka are on the radar of purchases for the near future.

I wonder if distributors still have access to some of those old Nexus birds? I notied 12-7-games has a small selection of WWII Series II and no WWII Series I. I don't know if that is by design, or if they are no longer available through his distributors.

Congrats, Sven!

I didn't realize that after my last "big" order (a lot of 14 different DoW minis bought on a sale) along with a Deluxe starter minis, I also own a complete DoW collection.
Cheers!

I had preordered series 3 WWII but because of the change I think I may have trouble but hope not.

Got a call for the place I order fromm. Planes ON THE WAY. I was worried because of the change in makers. Have been dealing with Miniatuer Market for a few years and they are great. Called last night to fix and verify my order.

I have been told from a very reliable source that the WWII planes have a mid January release date and retailers should be expecting them very shortly!!
