Small Scale Military Headquarters

My Walmart finally restocked after about 7 weeks of nothing....and what did they put out. Battle of the Bulge figs.....no D-Day ones yet at all.

Keep em. Need them when the items are not displayed.....and this stuff will get broken if you throw it in a plastic bin.

Thanks Digger, I saw those......I was thinking I may take the turret apart and rework the seat....so I can get a figure in the correct way. Has anyone tried this? Pulling the legs off is one thing....as you cant see those anyway...but having to pull his arms off too, in order to fit the seat is push...

Ok, maybe a stupid question but how are you guys getting a figure into the gun turret....it seems way cramped!

I found more Germans today...and more D-Day US. I need the germans , so I grabbed two I had not seen before in any store. Otto Wilndorff Fritzen Osternoh I think I'm only missing 5 now, out of the new 18 we know of. 4 are Germans, and the "US tracker" guy on the cardback....has anyone found this fig...

I special ordered it from a Local Hobby People store....took 2 1/2 weeks to get it. They said it was their last one....so, score! I got the green one...and it looks really sweet!

Went to another , farther away Wally World today....found 2 new figures.

I had not seen these two yet in any store...so it was a great find for me! Only missing 5 of the new 18 now! Keep looking, I think they are starting to put new stuff out!

I just got my first 1:18 scale plane....the BBI ZERO. This thing is really cool...but it was not that easy to get to go together...and the rear landing wheel was a MAJOR pain in the butt to retract. Also, the wings seem to have some sag...is this normal?

Yep, we are all feeling your frustration. They are hard to find this time of year.....I would keep checking back. We will start to see more XD popping up in the next couple of weeks I would guess....as we get farther away from the slowness of January. I have found most of the US...not the tracker gu...

Yep, to each his own.....but $1,500 for that, come on. I have a hard time swallowing $40 to $50 on some of these.... I'm afraid if the cost on each bird keeps going up...that will do it for me. There is a lot of product out there, and $1,500 buys more than a years worth of collecting for some of us.

Looks like more guys are hitting. Went to Wally World at lunch and found 4 more of the D-Day figs....2 tank crew, 29th infantry rifleman and 2nd Ranger. No german figs at all. No vehicles.

The website says he is to go with the Pak 40......just read the fine print below the picture.

I guess I will chime in too.....I've hit at least 6 WM's in my area.....and only one had the new figures....they had about 8 of the new ones....and I grabbed six. All the other stores are bone dry, on any XD......come on....For 2 weeks now nothing!

We had tons...and I thought I would get one soon enough....and now, of course, they are gone in my area. Anyone else still seeing them? I'm in So Cal....and no luck at any TRU. I feel like they disappeared overnight.

Wow...thats awesome, thanks!

After looking at the archive link that was posted....I now count 18 as well. The 3 missing from the card back are US....2 of which are the 82nd Airborne guys.

Just wondering if we have an archive of all the XD figures to date anywhere, complete with pictures. Groundpounder used to keep one years back, didn't he? Any links would be great.

There was a guy, sort of in the center of the place,....who sold XD. He had figures and vehicles....but I wonder if he's still there. Real nice African American vendor with some of his models under glass cases on display, this ring a bell? Can't believe we dont have more guys here who know about Fra...

Just wondering if anyone has been to Frank's lately in So CAL. and seen anything good. It's a long drive for me...I make it once every three months or so.

I count 17 if you include the two 82nd Airborne figs not shown on the back....both of which are great! Do we know of anymore not pictured on the back!.....I have had no luck finding most of the new D-Day figs.....empty shelves everywhere in So Cal.

PM's sent, thanks.

I was looking at one of these today....is it worth the 30 bucks? Also...what is this about a battery box and where do you get this modification?

Just wanted to know if anyone has, or if it is possible to take the "RC guts" out of the 1:18 Panzer IV and put them in a 21st Sherman tank? Is this even doable?

Just wondering if anyone has an extra Pak 40 they want to part with? Can't seem to find one Thanks!

Out of all 4 Wal Marts in my local area, only one had the D-Day figures so far. They had 13 of the 15 figs.......the Tank Commander was one of the missing ones. He comes with a map and removable helmet...very cool. One of the Germans was missing too.
