If you're refering to Wal Mart, I haven't seen anything new in the Fresno area. Around the Thanksgiving holiday, there was one tan M113 in my area and some 1:6 Stuarts. Mainly, there has just been FW-190s (candy-stripe & black cheveron) and desert Bradleys. No OD M113s, no new ME-109s, and no P-47s. On would think they would have been out for the Christmas holiday. I expect they'll show up sometime...

Regarding the small retailer sector, its a different story. Apart from what is had online (BCA is California based), the Hobbytown in Fresno has an excellent selection of new XD vehicles, including the new P-47s, the ME-109G, the Galland and Desert ME-109Es, the Panzer IV and the new Panther, Tiger and Sherman. Thats in addition to the many variants of the P-47 razorbacks, the Spitfires, Cobras, Hueys and much more. They have the best selection around! If you're in my area sometime, stop on by that store (its at the the shopping center at the intersection of Bullard & Marks).

WM's in Antioch, Pleasanton and Martinez had 109's (Galland & tropical) along with FW 190's (Martinez) and a few of the tan M113's. That's all I could find. :D

Both were in Fresno, Ca., very early in January, just not at Wal Mart. The planes were being sold at the Hobbytown store at the intersection of Bullard and Marks.

If you're in range (by that I mean that the cost of gas for the drive would approximate the amount you would pay on shipping for an XD plane) stop on by and have a look. They have most of the 1:18 aircraft and ground vehicles out, as well as a decent selection of 32x products. The store obviously isn't like BCA's warehouse, but its a far better selection of XD in one place than Toys R Us, let alone Wal Mart, ever had!

Anyone in CA order the Gate jeeps and received them already? Reason I'm asking is that I sent my payment over a week ago and still have not received them yet! I also have not received a reply from the seller regarding the shipment. Thanks.
