Bought a few of these at the hobby store today:

Specifically the Tigers and Panthers.

Might switch to 1/144 if the A&A stuff doesn't rate. I mean you can't go wrong for $4 each per Tiger and Panther.

Ciao!

Yes, these are great miniatures and I think the scale is perfect. I've got a bunch of them already but the only problem right now is that there is no opposing force's for any era. You have WWII German units and then modern US units. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before they expand their selection. Plus I'm waiting to see if they release infantry figures...
They also are the same scale as N-scale railroad which makes for some great options when finding terrain and buildings. :D

I also wanted to alleviate any confusion with the pricing on the Dragon Can.Do website - the MSRP price reflects the whole pack/case price. Take the MSRP price and divide by the number of figs to get an idea on individual unit pricing.

If they come out with Allied WWII forces - this stuff would be a slam dunk!!!

Panzinator/ArtBraune, if you look for World Tank Museum by Takara/Kaiyodo (mostly on eBay but some local stores) you can find 1/144 Shermans, T-34s, JS-IIs, SU-152s and some SU-122s. The quality is just as good as Can Do. Still, the range is very limited, since the marketing is heavily focused on German weapons.

As for infantry you will need to look to Minifigs WWII N scale (metal) and paint/base them yourself.
