Hollywoodkbl:

Thanks for confirming that there are 18. I've managed to find 16 of them so far, thanks to diligent (OK, obsessive) searching.

Has anyone found "Tracker" Richards anywhere? Seems to be the most elusive....

He is one of the ones I left - having bought all the germans - Didnt know he was hard to find - Im pretty sure it is one figure per box - as I have yet to see doubles of any figure - does anyone know hoe large the boxes are how many per box?

Well, I finally caved in and bought an F-104 last night in the Marinenflieger (was sonst?) scheme. I think the deciding factor was getting it for $21 at the Niles MI WM. I also found a couple more of the new wave of figures--Odheim from the German "who does" (English translation of "Wer macht") and Brewster, both at Mishwaka. Niles had nothing new on hand, and the only new items at Mishawaka were the figures. Portage Road did have a new plane (for them)--the Mitch's Squitch F-86, plus a ton of RC M113s marked down to $15 (I took the last $15 Panzer IV). It's slim pickings out there, but hopefully ToyFair will kick off some new waves of stuff.

Went to the Shaver road walmart in Kalamazoo last night, but all there was were two Chinese Migs, three series 1 Marines, a Stuka gunner, and some BoB series 1 figures. :roll:

As best I can tell (especially since most of these have never shown up in my AO yet):
1. Jesse "Wildman" James
2. Mike "One Way" Harras = Tank Driver
3. Kevin "Scribe" Debree
4. Clyde "Preacher" Brewster = Tank Loader
5. Roger "Tracker" Richards
6. Johnny "Light Fingers" Jones
7. Harry "Sammy" Smith
8. David "Peek" Jenkins = Bazookman
9. Frank "Wheeler" Hodges
10. Joseph Dieffenbach = DAK
11. William Newwnhaus = DAK
12. Otto Wilndorff = Wehrmacht Camo
13. Fritzen Osternoh = Wehrmacht
14. Ludwick Odheim = Wehrmacht Officer, Closed coat, parade
15. Hugo Kemnett = Wehrmacht, Open coat, parade
16. Danny Reynolds = 82nd Airborne Driver
17. Captain William Russo = 82nd Airborne officer
18. Mystery? = DAK

If anyonne wants to/can fill in the rest of the list with descriptions, that would be awesome.
And upon going through the ones I have and realizing I managed to end up with 2 copies of Russo, I realize that I need to start keeping this list with me!

FieroDude, I can confirm all of them have been in your AO. :wink: I've found both waves at the new South Bend Walmart and the Mishawaka store.

Ahh, but you beat me to them :)

Oh well, I am sure they will restock soon enough, I know Mishawaka has seen a couple restocks so far. I didn't see any at the south side store or Portage Rd., but I also found some in South Haven. All in due time, I suspect.

Hey now... we in Michigan never went to war with Indiana, just Ohio. Anyway, I have enough years living in Anderson and Muncie behind me to qualify as an adoptive citizen...

Unfortunately, the mystery figure has now been revealed to be an artillery crewman in standard Wehrmacht uniform. Which puts us at 2 DAK figures, with no more pending from this round (as best we know). Rommel will not be pleased that his request reinforcements has been denied :?

If you're lucky and can find more than one set of the DAK figures, they can be customized into at least four slightly different figures using the spare heads and accessories that came with both. I'll post some pictures later :wink:

Looks like more guys are hitting. Went to Wally World at lunch and found 4 more of the D-Day figs....2 tank crew, 29th infantry rifleman and 2nd Ranger. No german figs at all. No vehicles.

Yes i think the german with the range finder is a nice touch for the 88, the only problem is he will not be around when it finally arrives as he will have been honourably pensioned off due to old age.

Don't know if this helps, or frustrates you, but at Thanksgiving when I was leaving San Diego on the 10, I pulled off for gas at some town just outside SD. All I remember is it was on the south side of the freeway, up on some hillside. Anyways, I got me a PAK40 there, and they also had the halftracks. So, they were in your AO, just a long time ago.

I have been hitting Wallies almost ever weekend or every other weekend since The Pak40 and half tracks started showing up...I think it was before Thanksgiving ... and I have not seen any of these new vehicles in this AO. My rounds usually include 6 Wallies. I was lucky enough to spot both the ones I wanted in Vegas while visiting parents...but no new vehicles and no Avengers here at all!

And one of the Wallies near me used to be really good! I would see a post here and within 2 or 3 days they were at a Wally....now I hardly see any vehicles around here. Makes me think these Wallies are not going to stock vehicles any more! Not a good sign!

And someone jinxed those tan Panzer IVs - I saw 6 or 7 of them at $30 and was waiting for them to go to like $15...and then someone mentioned the markings and the weekend I went...NO MORE.... :shock:

Wierd things going on in SoCal - and it doesn't look promising :?
It is the dang toy companies that have sometimes made me want to stop collecting toys!!!
