Restock: Kübelwagen
The Kübelwagen was a light utility car used by the German armed forces during World War II. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, it shared many chassis components with the Volkswagen Beetle. The Kübelwagen could carry four fully equipped soldiers on roads and overland thanks to it’s light weight body, reinforced suspension and a self-locking differential. Its air cooled engine was reliable and easier to maintain in the field verses their more complex allied equivalents. More than 50,000 were manufactured during the war for the German armed forces.
The Kübelwagen kit was originally released in 2010 and was the first Brickmania kit to sell more than 1000 copies. For a limited time we’re bringing back this classic kit in dark gray with the addition of a custom printed minifigure.

Restock: M3A1 Stuart
M3 Stuart Background Information:
The M3 “Stuart” was the only American tank design to see combat from the opening days of the war right up through the end. The Stuart was intended to be a fast, lightly armored tank, armed with numerous machine guns and a turret-mounted 37mm gun powerful enough to defeat the armor of all but the heaviest Axis tanks at the outbreak of the war.
Early M3s Stuarts had riveted hulls and turret armor and many were supplied by Lend-Lease to Great Britain. Many were sent to troops fighting in North Africa, where they were nicknamed “Honeys” by their new British owners in homage to their reliability and speed. Operation Torch brought American troops and their M3A1 Stuarts with cast armor turrets and welded-hulls to North Africa in 1942. The US Marines used the Stuart in their Pacific campaigns including the legendary Guadalcanal and Tarawa campaigns.
The Stuart saw continued refinements throughout its production cycle and would eventually be standardized as the M5 Stuart to avoid confusion with the M3 Medium Tank. While in many ways the Stuart was substandard to its Axis counterparts, especially in the area of firepower, the lack of a suitable replacement meant it would serve with US and Allied armies until the end of the war.

Restock: M26 Pershing
The M26 Pershing was produced for American forces in response to heavy German tanks encountered in Western Europe towards the end of World War II. While it barely arrived in time to see action, the M26 proved itself more than capable at standing toe-to-toe with the Tigers and Panthers, a task not suitable for the earlier M4 Sherman medium tanks. The M26 soldiered on into the Korean War, where it again proved itself deadly against the Soviet-built armor of the Communist forces. Lessons learned from the M26 directly lead to the development of the M46/M47/M48 Patton series of Main Battle Tanks

About the Opel Blitz:
The Opel Blitz was the name given to various German light and middle-weight truck series built by the German Opel automobile manufacturer during 1930-1975. During the years preceding WWII, Opel, a subsidiary of General Motors since 1929, was Germany’s largest truck producer. By 1934, there were four base versions offered of the 1-ton basic model, along with 14 versions of the larger 2 and 2- ½ ton trucks. From 1939, the reliable Blitz 3.6 three-ton version was used in large numbers by the German Wehrmacht armed forces during WWII.
In 1952 Opel presented the basic model in a modern rounded design, reminiscent of US pickup trucks. In the following years, Opel produced various vans and trucks with petrol engines, which at the time was much less economical than diesel engines. In 1968, Opel finally offered a 2,100cm Indenor XDP 4.90 diesel engine, but it came too late to regain lost market shares, resulting in Opel GM deciding to not develop a successor. In 1975 the production of Opel commercial vehicles ceased.
