I guess they figure all you rich 'callies are too busy with your horse farms.

mikeg,

Ever been to the Hiram or Dallas WM's? I'm thinking of checking them out next week.

I have twice called a TRU in my area about 21st items and both times the employee claimed to know nothing about them, couldn't find them in the system, and couldn't find them on the shelf after claiming they went out to look (no way to verify if they were truthful on that). Both times I went out any...

^ There is none of that in Bremen, Douglasville, Lithia Springs, Villa Rica, or Carrollton.

Your photo didn't post or at least I can't see it. Anyone else have the same problem or is it me?

I really would like to see this garish paint scheme.

I can't see it either. I even tried pulling the url out of the page source code but that didn't work.

I only have the D that came in the set with the 262.

Yup, I agree the casualties are way too light.

Arrange for some kind person here who lives where they will be stocked to send you some?

Ack! You're both right. I am thinking of the II.

We had a few at the TRU in Douglasville, GA, and I imagine a few made it into Atlanta proper. They still have one 38 and I'm hoping the restock is coming soon because that store is empty in nearly every toy aisle. The WM's in my area have also been dumping out stuff plus a surprising amount of 1/18 ...

The 21st Century ones? How can they have something for preorder that is already out in the stores?

Mine are in my computer/work room. This is an older set of photos, as I have added about five planes since then: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/101_8235.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/101_8234.jpg As you can see, I created a criss-cross network of fishing li...

Seen any of the new FW-190's in Atlanta?

Went to the WM in Bremen, GA, just to see what was up. They had 4 sets of the new P51/ME262 duel packs, 2 of the camo 1/18 Migs @ $25 and 1 tiger stripe F104 (also $25) and a few assorted BF-109's and a Dora. I got the last ME-109 (Black 3). Can't believe that's the first ME I've been able to find. ...

On the subject of Marders, what do you think of the Battlefield 2 version for the Forgotten Hope 2 mod compared to the 21st model?: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/bf22008-01-0123-33-40-41.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/bf22008-01-0123-33-48-28.jpg http://img...

Sorry about that. I didn't read through the entire FAQ on that software. It seemed the most promising of that hits I did get. I found this later: http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=946 Unfortunately, I personally have not heard of a way to do what you want without encryption because as you know, if...

Maybe this will help?

Google brings up a number of software suggestions but most are pay-to-play.

I know. I see the guys at car shows trying to sell a Johnny Lightning for $10 when I can wait to beat them to Wal-Mart or TRU and get it for $4. I just look at what they have and then move on. If I wait a few months I can even get one off ebay for less than $5. What's next? Going to a car dealer, bu...

Yeah, I've seen them in Georgia about the last 5-6 weeks.

I went Christmas shopping today for the wife and naturally I had to look for XD also. I stopped by hobbytown and what to my wandering eyes should appear, but tarheel hals and bald eagle P51s. I dont think these are at any walmart in the state of Georgia, yet. Of course, ya think internet shopping a...

Dude, its only an 8-9 hour drive to NO from Gainesville and Ocala doesn't add much time so just hop in the car.

There are about 10 of the Tex Hill P-40s at the Villa Rica, GA, WM. Throw in a Red 8 and some desert camo 109's plus one Italian Stuka dogfight set and that's how I'm sitting ATM.

Here are some examples made using the software:

Apparently you can assemble buildings from image parts and create new designs as well as import files. So I see no reason you couldn't find/make adequate buildings for any period or scale offered by 21st.

Hmm, I had a few similar models I got out of a Sharper Image catalog about 20 years ago - had an Uzi, a Colt .45 and an XM-17 with the blowback cap action. The rifle was ruined by an ROTC student trying to see how fast he could do a field strip but the Uzi looked good enough to get 3(!!!) police car...

Have you checked other aisles for the model kits? The three WM's in my immediate area have all relocated the kit section a couple of rows away from where they were before, apparently as part of the mini-remodel of the toy section they just finished with.
