Usually it comes later, in july or august.

Anyway, somebody knows the codeword of the actual $4 coupon code?

Thank You!

The code word for the $4 Microbucks discount changes every few weeks, and it's been a while since I placed an order.
Since this is considered an incentive for customers who place frequent orders, it may not be proper to share this.
Anyway, since this thread started with a question about the Summer Sale, note that you can use only one discount per order, either one of the sealonal sales or the Microbucks. If you're waiting for the Summer Sale, this is by far the better deal for a large order.

I'm waiting for this as well. I plan on getting the new BMP-1 at least a couple of packs, as well as the T-72M. Already got British and Germans...no Russians though.

damn, I should have specified which indians :lol:

That would make for a interesting battle though! Imagine custer trying to hold off some T-72s!!

LOL, that reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where the tank crew on maneuvers goes back in time and joins up with Custer's men at Little Big Horn...classic.

I just saw that one last week. One of the best lines from the show was their Captain who said something to the effect of "Too bad they couldn't take their tank with them." Its the Twilight Zone so I ask "Why Not?" An M3 light tank would have been cool to see fighting some indians. Oh well.

Just need a few more items to complete my '80's Cold War U.S. Division...

To Baphomet69,

I'm also modeling a brigade in Germany in the mid 80's. Actually a heavy brigade at 1:1. So how did you model a FSB? I can't find the models to do it. Well, primarily tractor trailers, of which there are quite a few. I keep trying to even figure out how to kitbash them but they're just too small for me. HO scale locomotives are about as small as I want to go in kitbashing! Plus, plastic is a better material to work with than metal. If you have this figured out let me know, please!

I haven't kit-bashed anything yet. I'm in the same boat trying to figure out what I'm going to do about mine layer trailers and line charge vehicles. One of the other companies makes a "frisbee flinger" that I thought I could also modify to be a line charge, but shipping for the couple packs I need would be 2-3 times the price of the models (they're from the UK).

I've been looking at some of the trailers that GHQ makes and thinking of ways to modify them, but I'm not that good, especially as you pointed out, at this scale...
