Thats a good point! Still, wow.

Is this for real??

That is insane!!
Theres 7 bids on it already!

Ah nice the cycle with sidecar and a dunebuggy to boot! I will have to check if Biglots has any of those. If not I will pick one up from KB. Thanks!

Yeah a very good lawyer and a lot of careful wording. Maybe I should search around for a Barbie collector or something.

I'll have to get back to you on sending you my XD for "safe keeping"

Check your area for a KB store. Unfortunately, the KB's by me are over an hour away! (but now you've got me wanting to go!!) We had one for years in the mall here but it closed. I think the closest is in Orlando which is 60 miles. Yeah the figs are really well articulated. You can make some cool po...

Some airbrushing on the vehicles and they'd look GREAT! Yeah, I think the painting makes them look a lot more authentic than the plain plastic. A lot of the detail is molded in, it just needs some attention. PTE really has some original pieces, I mean a rideable camel and a horse? How cool is that?...

Yeah Plasti-Tak is great stuff. I use it on Transformers I collect which often have floppy joints. Best part is that although its tacky it doesn't pull off paint or leave a residue.

Glad I could help! Those holes and pegs do stink.

I have this bad feeling that all the XD stuff I'm buying now while I'm single will disappear for one reason or another once I do get married.

Yes the Wirbelwind is an awesome piece of armor! Speaking of conversions, how about a Nashorn!! Built on a Panzer III or IV chassis IIRC.

Or a STUG!

Heck ya, I got my Power Team camel and horse right here on my desk! 8) I bought the watch tower as well. The "gummy" weapons suck though. If you have an airbrush, with some paint and detailing some of the PTE stuff can look pretty cool. I think it is also sold at TRU under another name. They had a j...

Oh man, don't say that!!

Now, I totally agree with you that Wal Mart's distribution is crap. One store in some state gets a bunch of new stuff, while another store in another state gets nothing for a long time if at all. It hurts the hobby when one person in finds all the new stuff and no one else sees it for six months, i...

Maybe we can all get together and picket in front of WMs headquarters.

We might be able to get in a good thirty minutes or so before they start firing the rubber bullets and release the dogs.

Is that not sexy? I really love the "super props" on the Russian aircraft, the C-130J Hercules and now the Hawkeye.

It is sure dead in my area of FL. Lots of 1/32 armor, playsets and aircraft of course since I don't collect those but little or no 1/18 figures or vehicles. If I go check out a WM it will invariably be the exact same stock from last time. The spots on the shelves for medium and large sized 1/18 vehi...

I don't know if I'd say I hate him, but the XD Market Garden paratrooper, Pvt. Battershall's face looks like he's ready to be tagged and bagged. The poor guys eyes are rolled back into his head and his mouth is just hanging open, I lol everytime I see him. :lol: . I noticed that about the LAV too. I...

I wasn't aware of the higher floor. You learn something new everyday on here! :oops: All of the variants I've seen in person and built models of had the panels. Very interesting to know. I did know there were used to great effect against the Chinese human wave attacks in Korea. Thanks for the info, ...

Yeah I think your right, I saved and zoomed in on the pics and it does look like the original body. The Multiple Gun Motor Carriage has always been one of my favorite vehicles/weapon systems so I guess it just sticks out. I'm not faulting 21st, I understand why they did it the way they did, it's jus...

Are the top rear panels on the M16 able to be swung down? They should fold down to provide easier access to the system and a larger area of movement for the guns when set up for firing. Heres what they should look like. [img] [img]http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9296/m16kk7.jpg[/img] [/img] Please ...

Really impressive model though I'm only interested in WWII era toys.

Man I just got the vanilla Hanomag like two weeks ago before I even knew about these and it's still in the box. I'm gonna return that to WM and try to find the Pioneer Hanomag or the Maxon mount m16. Room is at a premium at my place and I would rather have those than the vanilla versions. I guess no...

I figure I have a snowballs chance in hell at seeing either item in my local Walmarts. Out of four stores only two even carry 1:18 vehicles.

I wish Toys R Us still carried 21st Centuy items. Having only one real world retailer for the line really makes it hard to collect affordably.

I'm planning on using my D-Day Spitfire in a crash scene diorama with some help from my Dremel tool.

I got it as a gift and one of the landing gears will not stay retracted plus I really don't care for the earlier model Spitfires.

Ok what is BBTS? If it means Blue Box Toy Store then I'm missing it somewhere. Thanks.

Good Stuff to Go looks cool even though their website design isn't too hot.

I'd like to see...

U.S. and German weapons packs.

A pack of just heads. (sounds weird lol)

Browning .30 air cooled MG.

Anything else except mortars and .50 MGs since I have a ton from my BBI guys.
