Those are good prices. Might have to get a Cat Mouth F6F since I don't have one. By Veteran's day they should have the 1:32 F4F. I like the sales, then if there is $100 worth of stuff I want, get free shipping. I can think of a few planes maybe armor to reach $100, but I want some good deals thrown ...

I hope BBi follows up the Dauntless and Wildcat with a 1/32 Avenger. That would be cool. I would like to have a TBD Devastator though, and all three in Midway colors. I'm looking forward to this Wildcat. It's the one on an episode of "Dogfights" from the Cactus Airforce in the Battle of Guadalcanal...

My first was the S1 Mustang at TRU. I don't even remember seeing or being interested in any XD till then, but I was hooked after that.

I was buying tons of 1/6 scale figures, hardware and vehicles at the time.

I like the combination of both. Some of the Cold Steel 21st are excellent. I recently pulled an extra 32X Opel Halftrack out of it's package and I am amazed at the detail for the price, and suprised how much metal is used on the cab, including the doors, fenders and hood top as well as the cab.

Just one for me. I'll wait for a grey one if I want another. I'm just trying to think which DAK German vehicle I want to tow it with. Seems like no two 21st vehicles have the same camo schemes sometimes. I'm trying to think which German vehicle has this tan color with no brown or green? Too bad we c...

You would think BBI would turn them out like sausages, and take advantage of this mold. Funny they only do two to three repaints of each plane they do, and sometimes the repaint is an exclusive.

I do hope to see a camo Vietnam version of the F-4 at least.

Yeah, collected Star Wars since 95 when they started re-issuing them again. Have a lot of stuff. Just about every figure and ship. Too much really. I don't find them as exciting as XD, and have bought most everything that came out when that first started. Along with many 1/6 scale vehicles and figur...

So I went back to the same Walmart to get the last grey Opel Halftrack. I looked on the box and it's dated 2005. Man that was a long time ago. So the only one I need to get now is the DAK Opel Cargo Truck. That's the only one I'm missing from the Opel series, as I have the DAK Halftrack and the grey...

These are nice. I opted for the other Jeep with just the 50 cal and removable soft top. Highly detailed. The little pic just doesn't do it justice. I've got an Aussie Gi Joe sitting in it, and the scale looks good. Had it parked next to my 1:18 Mercedes Staff car, and I really can't tell it's a diff...

I think it was a German unit, and it was deployed in Europe. :wink:

No really, the 21st Century Toys site says it's late war and Battle of the Bulge scheme, but doesn't give unit specifics. http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/area21/a ... newsID=296

Ah, that explains it. Good idea for a custom though. It's my favorite P-47 paint scheme in 1:32. That's what I'm eventually going to do to a few extra P-40's maybe a Thunderbolt. I want to do it to an extra NKK Spitfire, but I think I'm better off trading for something equally as rare that I don't h...

It's always fun to drag out all of your planes and put them on display for a day or two. I usually do it once or twice a year, but I put mine out in the backyard on the patio. Nice collection.

Wow! Lots of cool planes! Some super-rare ones in there.
I missed out on the Australian P-51, Corsair, and the winter Me-109, and a few Razorbacks.

So where do you put these after the photos? On a shelf, or back in the boxes? (that's a pain)
