I want a T-28!!!
There was a resin one on e-bay; started at less than a dollar, has been sold at more than 90!!! (too high for a 1/144 tank, even if rare)
And a Matilda too (same e-bay site, auction closed at USD 60+)!
There are Matildas on sale at wargames-south.com (many of their vehicles are a bit oversized for 1/144) and at miniaturefigurines.co.uk (quite undersized).
So please, Panzer Depot, give us Matildas, T-28s, a decent Chaffee , Sherman Jumbo and M-36!

It would be a good idea to sell these as unpainted resin for wargamers. As for me, the prices are just too high as they are. I can't argue about quality as I haven't bought any but from pics they don't seem superior to existing brands.
compare with special items on Ebay, still in the range for certain collectors.... no where can buy those special items but only Panzer Depot.

In the range $15 still a bit high for wargamers, most collectors would buy one or two for displaying.
Compare the Ebay T-28 with $90, much people could afford it.
The point is that these are not special items, and if you buy special items directly from Japan, it don't cost so much. Wittmann WTM 1 Special - 4.99 stg buy it now from Japan vs some dealers in UK selling for over 30stg!! 2nd point is that everyone prices stuff in 1/144 very much as they please. These cost as much a Dragon in 1/72. I'd rather buy ACI at the price.
Panzer Depot sock puppet alert!
Guys, calm down!
The panzer depot items are obviously more aligned to 'collectors' than Wargamers, although I am sure some waregamers are think the price others not.
you only need to look at the prices the KdK Resins sell for on ebay sites such as Radsan777, the buyer makes a value decsion based upon thier resources and the desirability of the item.
if you need stock war gaming pieces, Wargamessouth etc provide many options, as does pithead miniatures!
we need to focus on the fact people are willing to put effort into supporting 144!!
Agree.
If someone not able to pay in this range, they have still other options.
No matter how is happy to see more are coming in 144.
