The German Tankers in white did the same thing.

TRU is like this, they don't put the price into the database for new arrivals until about roughly 2 weeks later.

I Checked two more TRUs yesterday, one had nadda, the other one seems to have been raided already, I picked up one BotB U.S. infantryman with Mackinaw and two Tunisia Patton.

I also would love to see some VCs too.

Aren't wives great when it comes to this hobby? [dripping with sarcasm]

Is Mrs. Olifant looking over your shoulder as you wrote this?

Since I haven't been on the board for a while, I was not aware the Fallschirmjaers were showing up. Only found the Major, and of course this is a figure I already have an extra of. Still, was not about to leave him there.

Quite a surprise but I found another Rudel stuka at the Dubln TRU in Northern CA. There was only one though.

Did a recon of the three TRUs in the central San Joaquin valley of California. I got lucky at the distant Visalia TRU and found the new old 21c figures, including one Fallschrimjager figure (von Schnitzel). The store also had two Patton figures, three Marines, a German Ardenes infantry figure, BoB US Jeep driver, and a modern Special Forces figure. I got the Germans, a Patton figure, and a Marine, so the trip was worth it. The Fresno TRU still has not yet gotten the 21c figures and at this point may or may not. They did get in one "Smoke II" F-104 and what I think might be a "Ridge Runner" P-51 - but that was way up on the shelf... The Clovis TRU has sold out of all the new old figures save the Bf-109 pilot. Nothing new at any of my local Wal Marts and that just about sums it all up

I went to a TRU around Pittsburgh (Greensburg) tonight and they had nothing...

I was really hoping to find some Falschimjagers and some BotB Tankers in white as I'd really REALLY like more of either. I wouldn't mind some Japanese infantrymen too as I didn't get near enough riflemen or MG'ers.

Bummer... I'm hopeful to find some of these sometime soon, but TRU is a rare trip for me since they're all about 45 minutes away.

Just came back from TRU, the XDs aren't $4.99 anymore, they are now $5.29.

I also checked the BBi figs, they are also affected, $5.29 too.

I found several more Fallschrimjagers at the Antioch, CA TRU. This time I got lucky as well. They couldn't find the price so they charged me $.99 for each figure since they rang it up with one of the Hot Wheels car I was also purchasing. My jaws just dropped.

You just won BEST DEAL EVER award!

I hope you got every last Fallschrimjager they had!

I found one Fallschrimjager figure at the Fresno TRU. They finally stocked their alotment of the old 21c figures, which included multiples of all the Patton figures, one Stuka pilot and one FJ. That makes only two FJ figures I've found at the three TRUs in my area. Guess it is almost luck of the draw when it comes to what figures are in an assortment, but I'm happy to have at least found a couple of the FJs. The store clerks always seem to think they are cool action figures, for whatever reason

Finally was able to purchase some 2-packs of the Wehrmacht and D-Day figures at the TRU in Dublin, CA. This is the first time I have ever spotted them anywhere in Northern, CA. Picked up several packs of each. They also had the 2-pack Vietnam and DAK figures but I passed on those. These figures look great!

WTF?? These actually made it out west? I wonder if I'll see them in my area soon. Isn't this about six months too late?

I found 2 Rudel Stukas in Cool Spings, TN this past weekend. I picked one of them up.

If you mean the UPC number they can look up an item by that. The 1/18 item number at TRU is an assortment, so if they show any in stock it would not necessarily be the Rudel Stuka.

TRU in Allen TX has a ton of stuff. Tankers in white uniforms, OMG Americans, 2nd to last wave of Germans, Rudel Stukas, Stuka Zu Fuss Hanomags, Old Crow and Red Tail Mustangs, camo Migs, and some very special surprises for those who are willing to pick through my leftovers(2packs). Sorry about not looking at the 1:32 or smaller stuff guys but they have a ton of stuff. The most GIJOE stuff I have seen in one place and a whole aisle of Star Wars.

Finally got my Rudel Stuka today thanks to some recon from fellow member Alloyskull. Picked it up a the TRU at on 1960 by Willowbrook mall. They still have 3 left on the aisle and another case up top.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 4:05 pm

Holy of holies, I actually found the 21c Dual Packs today at the Clovis, CA TRU

This was the first time I have seen them - ever.

They are neat, worth the $10 TRU price, but I don't need any of them... The Vietnam ones would have been useful when I needed some extra soldiers a couple months ago. I may eventually go and get the DAK soldiers pack should I not have enough non-committed DAK soldiers to crew my 88. Nevertheless, at least the dual packs are here.

The same store also got in the Stuka Zu Fuss halftracks for the first time. No Rudel Stukas yet.

immeww2 · Post by **immeww2** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 8:33 pm

I ran into that same problem of where to get a crew to man the 88 guns. I finally had to go back and get the DAK 2-packs and several of the single carded figures. Luckily they were still there.

Tambo · Post by **Tambo** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:36 pm

I found 4 Ardennes German tank crewmembers and they sold them to me for $4.99 each after 5 minutes of scanning and 30 minutes of looking them up in the computer...I think they just gave up and gave them to me for the average figure price.
