I like the first three listed, especially the Panzer IV which should open up a whole bunch of possible markings/units. I also think MoMo is right on the mark regarding the crew members for the halftrack.

Of course, if you're willing to do a little modelling and painting, Preisser have an excellent Pak 40 crew in plastic ( although a little expensive for what you get ! ) and also a brilliant set of figures disembarking from a 251which needs some assembly, whereas Italieri recently brought out an excellent little set in pretty hard plastic which gives you 2X sets of 6 crew members + 2 X 75 mm A.T, Pak 40 guns which are a real bargain at about $8.00. The crew figures are very good and well sculpted, cast and the poses are excellent ( all action poses, dedicated to the gun ). With just a little sweat and a little skill, and a small outlay for paint ( enamel or acylic ) you could create your own figures which will add depth to your collection.
Another manufacturer to watch out for is the U.S. film Pegasus which is in the process of bringing out PAINTED figures in 1/72 scale. These should be available soon, but you won't find A.T. crew figures. More likely you'll be able to buy selected figures from their Waffen SS sets 1 and 2.
I'll keep my eyes open for them and let you know.
Meanwhile, happy hunting !
