Some of the white swastikas are the edge for the black/white swastika. The white goes on first then the black over it.

Stopped by Target to check if they received any 1/18 Shermans. They had two Bradleys on the shelf. This Target is notorius for not helping collectors! Especially if they have a product, even one, on the shelf they won't check. I stashed the two Bradleys and got an associate to check. "Yeah we have s...

The TRU's are choked with Jagdtigers and the Walmarts with 38(t)'s.

Ray

Area 21 says the 1/48 hellcat is now shipping to stores.

Ray

The Hobby Master Me 110 is available online! So far Monkey depot and Diecast Direct have it.

Ray

All of the Walmarts in the area except the one two blocks from my house have the Pz. 38(T).
Bloomington, Pontiac, Washington, Morton, East Peoria, Illinois.

The Washington, Illinois has the Aleutian and White tail P-40, Bald Eagle and Shangri La P-51.

Mine was eventually put in the circular file.

Ray

In my area, at least, it would sell among only a general audience, with perhaps only a limited appeal to the broader mass of consumers. Thus I think a few of the planes would sell, however if truckloads were ordered (as often seems to be the case with Wal Mart) then they would have the sales potent...

Found the P47 Bubble Top "Shilling" today in a single pack at the Normal, Illinois Walmart. This had been available only in a dogfight set.

Ray

Found the two packs at the Allen Road Walmart Peoria, Illinois.

Ray

Found the 1/48th P-51B "Bald Eagle" and "Shangri La". Also the two new German Pz IV's at the Washington, Illinois Walmart today.

Mitch v MG

The jacket is passable for a M43, but too short. What late war uniform? There were no pants in brown with thigh pockets late or early.

I thought I would rant a bit here before calling and Blasting Target SE Corp. about what I was just told at a local Super target :evil: I stopped into the Super Target over in Winter Garden FL to see if they reset and added the FOV WWII figures and vehicles. They DID reset, but no WWII FOV goodies ...

Aftre finally finding the FOV figures I am not sure if I am going to keep them. I have opened 3, 1 German and 2 US. IMHO the rifles and the Thompson are too small. The hands do not hold very good. There is no swivel with the legs. Three of each with cartridge belts and only 2 rifles. Now the 1:1 com...

Found the WWII figures at the Peru, Illinois Target today. None on the shelf. I aked an employee to check and he brought an entire box.

Ray

Found these today at TRU in Peoria, Illinois.



Found these at, you guessed it , the Washington, Illinois Walmart.

Ok I broke down and bought both 2-packs. Here is a pic of each. CPL. Hoffman & SGT. "Frisco" Braun http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/folgore1975/GermanUSA.jpg And PVT. Sachsenberg & CPL. Wagner http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/folgore1975/Germqans.jpg BTW, has anyone noticed that the sin...

Question for you uniform experts out there - are the US uniforms on these FOV guys accurate? The green jacket/brown pants isn't one I've noticed before. Anyhow, they look like great figures! I was wondering about that too! Plus on the FOV US officer, he is wearing a white collared shirt and some ki...

Hey, Tman, I found the Galland 109 at a local walmart here, back in the day when the shelves were mainly full with black 109s. The only planes I've ever mail ordered were the 1st F-104, DWK and ZPA spit, 1st model BBD (can ya believe that sh_t by now?) I too had found the Galland 109 at Walmart. Ray

Found the 1/32 German Mortar Crew repackaged like the 3 pack soldier sets at the Normal, Illinois Walmart. 3 crewman, mortar and base for standing crewman.

They had the BF-109K with the yellow "1".

Ray

Found this 1/48 BF-109G at the Normal,Illinois Walmart today. One thing I noticed on this is the box is meant to be stood on end.







Ray

Found these at the Peru, Illinois Walmart today.
