I have a "few" 1/18 diecast (more than I would admit to).
Here are 6 of my 14 Ikea Billy display cases. Actually, I collect just about anything 1/18.

1/6 R/C Humvees at Tuesday Morning

I did my monthly recon by the local TM and they had the desert Tow launcher for something like $69.
Happy hunting!

Another FW-190 question

I have been going through my "storage" and discovered 3 different 190s I forgot I had. I plan get rid of 2 of them and keep the one that I would get the least for.
What is the range that these go for nowadays?
Motorworks Red "3"
Motorworks with ' - + - > " on the side.
XD Yellow tail "1"

Thanks!

I only stopped at one store and I think that they had two.
Funny that there were no Mutts like WM, but there were tons of Indy with the German machine gun

Indiana Jones at BigLots

( The dual pack and the horse/bike packs were $6 and the vehicles (jungle cutter, staff car, cloth top truck) were $10. They had some other ass...

May not mean much. In the 1/18 diecast world we constantly see models listed that are not out yet, they always seem to originate in China though.
They usually do not have a box. They seem to be snuck out of the back door of the factory.

Every WM (in NW Houston) I have gone to has had them for $3. $7 fo the dual/deluxe packs and $13 for the vehicles. I have only seen the jungle cutter.
I have not seen many German soldiers, so dome one must be rounding them up.

Went to several NW Houston WM and they were $3. I got several leather-jacket Mutts for 1/18 diecast dioramas. With a little paint, he will look just like Arnie from the movie "Christine".

The Target on 1960/Eldridge has them marked down to $5.88. It seem that they jacked up the price to $7.99 and marked it down to $5.99. WM across the street has them for $5.41 regular price.

I was shocked yesterday. I walked into my local Target and found the carded German officer and the knight from" The "last Crusade". Someone must have missed a bribe payment and the good stuff got out of the stockroom. I saw a ton of them, and Dr. Jones Sr. at a couple of Targets over the weekend.

Is this an error package or some a$$hole taking the Wermacht figures and replacing it with something else. I was at a WM in Houston and there were four like this.
