Small Scale Military Headquarters

Was at the Pleasanton WM today and saw the new 1/32 scale planes. They had the ME-109 tropical, the P-51 and the ME-262. They were on the top shelf so I couldn't get a good look at them but from what I saw they looked pretty cool.

I recently e-mailed the seller and his reply was the company he works for bought too many for Xmas sales and now he has to liquidate them from the warehouse. The jeeps are manufactured by Gate. So grab your $5 and get yourself a good supply of jeeps!

I have a feeling this is going to be a breakout year for 21st. Hope it has a ripple effect on the other manufacturers as well especially BBI. Can't wait to see what's going to be released this year! I guess the Dodge trucks and the Panzers were just a sign of things to come!

That's funny, I thought they would be the same price as the on-line retailers. For instance, BadCat sells them for $32.95 plus shipping and they come in the new packaging. Might be better off purchasing them on-line.

You have quite a collection of Humvees there! I think part of what makes this hobby interesting is the tracking down of items you really want and finding them unexpectedly at a good price! Congrats on your great find!

Zartan is a good trader! Thanks Graeme.

I think the Patton tanks when they first were available went for $49 along with the panther tanks. However, I think most of us here on the board collect these items not to resell them but to enjoy them for what they are. It's only icing on the cake that they will appreciate in value once 21st ceases...

It got moved to the 1/32nd scale forum.

OOPs! Correction. The new CC will not come with his dog. You will have to buy one of the carded versions of Patton to get his trusty dog. Sorry about the mis info there.

Yes, the new CC will come with Patton's dog, the General himself and a driver. If you have the old CC you can outfit it with one of the 3 carded versions of Patton that are available. All the carded versions feature Patton and his dog. Hope that helps.

I always thought the original command car was more suitable for the General since it had the flags. I'm sastified with just purchasing one of the Patton figures and his trusty dog along with a driver and plopping them into the original command car. Viola! You have a Patton command car.

This is exciting news! Can't wait to join!

Not to mention our own vehicles someday!

For those of you who have seen the 1/48 items at WM are they selling? It seems that our WM's here have a ton of them sitting on the shelves. The only one we don't have are the M113's.

Just want to say that Holensock is a top notch trader! Got my command car and a nice surprise with it (jeep) before I even had a chance to send him the money! Would trade again without hesitation! Thanks a lot Bob!

I would be interested in that info too, so if the link or website could be posted here that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

With the history of WM mispricing 21st items way below their actual retail prices, it was bound to happen that they would misprice an item higher than it's retail price.

Our local TRU had 8 of them on the shelf. It was the first time I've seen them at that store.

Just happened to stroll into a local TRU and found a farmhouse playset for $8. It was their last one. I thought TRU had clearanced all their XD stuff sometime ago but they still seem to be reappearing on the clearance shelves. Just makes going to TRU that much more surprising.

I managed to pick up a city center fountain at my local TRU for $7. I already have several of these so if anyone who wants to get one at a bargain price please e-mail or send PM. [email protected] Thanks. Kevin

Great news! Thanks for the update!

Allright! Now that's what I call a mean looking dog! Have to put several of those fellas in the back of the Dodge trucks.

FOV has a lot more items in this scale than 21st. As far as detail and display, the FOV gets my nod IMHO. FOV offers dioramas depicting war scenes whereas with 21st, you have to be the creative mind. But don't overlook 21st, their products are very well made and deserve consideration as well.

Goes to show you never know what items are going to be high-value in the future.

Those new crates are going to be a perfect fit for the Dodge trucks now that they are out. What timing!
