Silverdale WA TRU has six of the quad gun halftracks and four of the Pak 40. plus same three airplanes two way up top with the six U.S halftracks. How do they expect to sell them way up there?.
They did a total reset at my TRU moved all the fov,21st and BBI across the isle from old spot.
Could not think of anything to put here.

I found the Huff today for 25.00; another one I never bought when I saw them earlier. Astoundingly, this was not at walmart or tru, but at hobbytown. The Hobbytown ebenezer scrooge must have lost sleep over this price (their "list" price is even more impressive than BCA's). Of course, their was a catch- the front windscreen was broken into 4 pieces- nothing a little super glue won't fix, though.

Local TRU is completely clean of 1/18 ACs. Now I have to drive across town to pick up a P-40, if there are any left.

Just a heads up when i was at TRU last,the tru guy told me that this time of year they are only getting one truck a week(weekends here). So instead of checking all the time,you may be able to ask when they get the shipment and check a day or so later when it is put out.

I found a DAK figure with the crouching legs today at TRU in Florida.

Great news Gus! Were there any other new figures there and did you happen to take a picture?

I picked up the new DAK Machine Gunner Pvt. Gustav Moldenhauer today at the Mishawaka TRU. They had him (in pretty large quantities) and a Vietnam figure that I think is new, as well... something "Dusty".

The DAK figure comes with the MP40, complete with folding stock. Sorry about the less than ideal image, but my camera is at work, so I scanned it in package. They also had the M16 halftrack repaint and the Quad trailer--I don't remember--did the original release inlcude a figure? This one had one, so I wasn't sure. And they had a Mig-15 (NK) and a Flyung Undertaker P-51. And a fair amount of the miniature stuff (1/32, 1/48, 1/144).

Gustav (pic above) is the figure I found also. No other new figures or vehicles, just a bunch of this one guy.

On Sunday I went to my local TRU and they had a good selection of XD. M16's, Quad trailers a Pak 40 (s-2) and Nam figures....6 pegs full of them...12 figs to a peg. :shock: boy I hope these guys sell. All the DAK figures are gone and no new kneeling DAK figs.

Spotted the D'Amato figures for the first time. Just had to get a few of them to complete the sets that I have.

The Clovis, CA TRU had about a caseload of the D'Amato figure last I checked. Sort of like what happened with its virtual twin figure, Clarence Jackson :wink:

I found the 21c 1:18 Tuskeegee Airman P-51D at the Fresno, CA TRU today :shock: It was there along with the 21c "Old Crow." These were along with two "Flying Undertaker" P-51s and a "Seeman" Bf-109G. Needless to say, I was very shocked to find the "Tuskeegee" P-51. Was that not an exclusive? It looked amazing, had a perfect paintscheme, and was VERY tempting to get, especially for $40. But alas, I have enought P-51s already and so I had to pass...

The Cary, NC TRU has started getting 1/18 aircraft recently. Earlier 2 P-51s sold in about a week. They've had the "Seemann" BF-109G for about two weeks and today they had 2 P-51s and 2 F-104s. I was in a hurry and didn't notice which exact ones were there.

Just got back from TRU, Currahee no luck finding D'Amato. Most of the XD armor...Pak-40's, Pak Hano's and US Halftracks were sold. Still have plenty quad trailers for some reason. Aircraft...one left, a Mig.
Nam figures...six pegs full. I hope these guys sell cause they got a ship load of em.

Thanx for looking, Normandy, I guess it's officially a drought...I hit the Holbrook TRU last night, practically same story except it's Quad 1/2 tracks in abundance & a stagnant pool of 1/32 Evies...local WMs, same old, same old...somebody wake me when the ship comes in... :(

TRU near Pittsburgh had the new DAK guy (the new headsculpt) with the MP-40... Nice figure, love the extra legs too for a hopefully soon 88 fella. No Range-finder... Are they shipping together? Hope I didn't miss him by some odd chance.

I saw no 2-packs or anything at TRU...

I saw some camo PAK's too, but the $30+ price is a real put-off at TRU for something that small.

Never saw a quad trailer... PAK Hano's all long gone. Planes seem to come and sit just like WM did so I hope that doesn't screw up the figures and other items coming in. :(

Dublin, CA TRU has Tuskegee P-51; Undertaker P-51; Seeman 109; Bunker Hill Corsair; Tiger Mig; (and a bunch of BBI Corsairs).

Very hard to walk away from some of those. Very hard. Especially since you know that 21st is cleaning out their warehouses to satisfy Tru and so some of these planes won't be seen again for a long time. I even tried to convince myself to get the Tiger strip Mig to have a 1:18 dogfight set once a F-4 comes out. But that Mig would be sitting by itself for a long, long, long time.

Damn I used some good restraint today! (but it still kills me). :wink:

Glad to hear you also found a Tuskeegee P-51, VV. Now I know I'm not crazy or that it wasn't a fluke. What ever happened to the "exclusive" status for that plane?
