Small Scale Military Headquarters

The F-5 never crossed my mind as a consideration, either. Somehow, it's like looking at 1:18 die-cast cars, and seeing a Chevy Cavalier. Common, and not a bad car, but far from newsworthy. Let me ask you guys: what would you (honestly) pony up for a 1:18 A-10, possibly with some interchangeable load...

Exactly--and I have noticed that while some customers may look a little surprised, it's incredible what the power of plastic can do when you get to the check-out lines. Some people by their NASCAR models, I buy my tanks and aircraft. And I challenge anyone in a stock car to play chicken with a Tiger...

The frustrating part from WM to WM, at least around here, is how they handle it. There is one WM around here where the person who manages the department apparently cares, because it is always well organized, even if new stock is a rarity (although that is where I got my Avenger in September). He eve...

I hear ya, VMF. Around my area, it is amazing how quickly most of the 1:32 stuff disappears off the shelves, and often in the hands of kids--but some of the more common 1:18 stuff tends to linger--there is a pair of Humvees that has been around since June, and a Bf-109G6 that I may finally break dow...

Aferg... Old threads never die, they just mellow with age... One thing I remember when I was a kid that was very from accurate scale if taken literally, but made AWESOME structures for 3-3/4 GI Joe and Star Wars figures was the Girder and Panel sets. I remember building some awesome guard towers, br...

I know from my Walmart and TRU trips ( the woman in charge of toys at our local Walmart will stop me in the aisle to warn me "nothing new" or "check over by RC for overflow--we got some new stuff" to save me time), that it seems like everyone looking at XD and 1:32 seems to be late 20's through thei...

Are there any thoughts/plans for some more modern armor? I know BBI grabbed a big chunk of it with their M1 and LAV, but the 21st Bradley and M113 are no slouches either. Unfortunately, the best challengers my desert scheme modern armor would be to pick up a couple beat-up Euro econobox and Toyota p...

I know I ended picking up my Gen 1 Atlantic Avenger about 6 weeks ago at the Niles, MI Walmart for $39.84 thanks to the "It is a 21st Century 1:18 airplane, therefore it is $39.84" philosophy. Of course when I stopped back the next day to pick up the other one they had, it was gone. Our Benton Harbo...

Aferg--

I find it almost disturbing that you had the answer to those B-52 specs so quickly... impressive, but disturbing

The Walmart luck of the draw system definitely sucks. Factor in that most of the time, they order and receive aircraft and armor as "1:18 military vehicle assortment" or "1:32 aircraft assortment", and it makes it even worse. The only one I ever saw where they had a dedicated code for it was the Ave...

TKO-- although I have been following the forum for quite some time, I had forgotten my log-in info about 3 computers ago and just decided to re-register. I really appreciate the updates and feedback from everyone on the forum. One question I have: will you be at the Chicago show in October? I will b...
