More tanks!

I usually don't post in this kinda thread...you know wish lists, but from an armor fan...I am pretty sick of how many planes you aircraft lovers get :wink: and how little tanks we have gotten. How many times has the P-51 been re-tooled..and how many times has our lonely old Sherman been repainted???...

New D-Day figures in OC - only 1 WM

Well found 1 set of new D-day figures at 1 WalMart out of the 4 I visited this morning. Toy aisles are like a mini-disaster zone (X-mas) and I had to walk up and down 2 aisles to find the figures I wanted cuz 2 were in one section and 2 were in another section and some were buried. Saw 12 Sabers (wi...

Well just got done with a run of 6 Wallies in the Orange County (CA) area and boy was that disappointing...not even a sign of any of the new vehicles (Pak40 case) or any of the new figures. I hope this is not a sign of how the local Walmarts are going to handle XD distribution. Saw 2 Korea Sabers in...
