Do you mean the M-18? I have the three original bubble pack releases and were thinking they were last ones in existence. Most here don't know 21C carded these at first.

Yes. The Hellcat. The anti-tank, opened-turret US vehicle. My mistake on the designation model.

Didn't the M-41 Walker Bulldog come carded, as well? I think there may have been another vehicle, too. All of them were a different color shade from the original vehicles at TRU.

Yes, the Hellcat and WalkerBulldog both came carded when 21st first issued them. I had a couple of the WalkerBulldogs and they weren't actually painted, but were made from OD plastic.

Nothing at all new in my AO. Nothing at Walmart; I think that market is dead. Nothing at all new at TRU... just runoff. KMart has FOV but it's all old. It would have been nice if they had gotten the 2 1/2 ton truck or the Elefant. Meijer's is slowly depleting what little FOV they had; once again all old stuff. Even the more expensive hobby shops have nothing......

Visited multiple Targets throughout SoCal today, every Target is fully restocked with Unimax's FOV 1:72 Battle Extreme Series. Old and new, at least every store had about 1-2 Apache Longbow, 1 Black Hawk repaint, 1 King Tiger & Soldiers Set, 1-2 LCM3s, and 1 Sd. Kfz. 251/1 and 75mm PaK 40 set.

The Stuart came carded also. I have all three and think they will be quite the oddity in times to come. Of course 1/32 never really generated the rabid following and high prices of the 1/18 21C stuff. There goes my retirement plan...

Found the new Bravo Team 1:48 scale AH-64D Apache Longbow at Target today

Wow, found 1/32 spitfires still at the San Jacinto, CA Wal Mart. Terrible quality control as usual, but there are 3 left if you want one to repaint on your own or enjoy the paint scuffs all over them...I plan on making a Battle of Britain Spitfire with the one I picked up. Hope my painting skills are ok...

I went to my Hobbytown store and they had their 21st kits reduced. Their Priests and Shermans with dozer were $10 off... @$10 each. I realize this isn't as reduced as Monkey Depot was, but I purchased some anyway. The Meijers had FOV reduced: 1/32 Schimmwagons, and figure sets, etc., were @$7 and change. Their intermediate vehicals were $13 and change.. Who ever would have thought the 1/32 gravy train was going to stop and make me jonesing for 1/32....

Force of habit had me check the toy aisles at Target. Lo and behold, they had a clearance shelf full of the little FoV tanks. The grey Tiger, OD Shermans, tan Bradleys and Abrams for $1.50 each. I picked up the Tiger and Sherman. I think the Tiger's detail is very good, the Sherman OK. They are small, about 1/100 scale, but the hulls feel like metal and the packaging claims they are diecast.

Target had the same vehicles for $.74. Target had Tiger I, Bradley, etc.

TRU has what's left of the Bravo Team 1/32 on sale for $11.32.... All too soon, TRU will no longer carry any 1/32. I wonder if there will ever be any new Bravo Team introductions.....

Well I've been to a few TRU and the Bravo Team stuff is gone. Surpisingly I saw 2 Elefants (1/32) for $14.99. I wish they would have had the 2 1/2 ton trucks. I would have picked them up.
I wonder if Target is going to start reducing their Bravo or perhaps offer some new releases.

I came across this website on a recent search. They have 1/48 from 10 bucks and
1/32 from $18. www.diecastairplanes.tv.
