Small Scale Military Headquarters

The collection has been sold.

Thanks to everyone who expressed interest.

Greetings all, I'm looking to liquidate my entire collection. This collection has been on display for about 5 years now (well, it's been growing over that time, obviously), but now it's time to go. All items are loose, unless otherwise specified. What I'd really like to see happen is that someone lo...

I hope its an artillery piece,but could it be a new modern piece of armour,the most modern piece theyve done has been the 113 and that apc has been around for almost 50 years.

Perhaps I'm just having a minor stroke, but isn't the Bradley considered an APC?

By my calendar we're not quite 4 months into the year..

Well, sure, but by your calendar Johnson is still president...

Oh, for the love of Pete! I can't find a 104 anywhere in VA, and I'm already sick of looking. Teamski, let me know when they hit the mid-atlantic, would you?

Saw them at Walmart this past weekend.

I saw 4 in Northern VA. Didn't buy one. It was just too big, and frankly, I thought the quality looked inferior to the M5 (of which I have two!).

PM me if you're interested in the location. I saw them this past Monday. $199.97

Nothing but an empty shelf, but the Toy manager said she could "special" order something if I needed it.. Wink

Did she kinda rub herself when she said that?

I went to one Walmart today and they had the GRAF 109 and Panzer IV's on clearance........ For $39.84!!!!!!
I went to another and they had the Winter Tiger and M-113 on clearance..... For $38.00!!!!!!!

WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!! Confused Shocked

Great find, Harry! Some guys have all the luck...

Yes, that would be a vehicle from the infamous 150 Panzer Brigade, led by Otto Skorzeny. This was a special commando unit where the intention was to outfit them with captured American uniforms and equipment. These hand-picked soldiers were all fluent in English, and the idea was to attempt and infil...

In its stead, of course, there is a gaping hole where the peg at the back of the chute attaches. Any ideas how to conceal them (the holes)?

Put your thumb over them.

Wow, this one store just continues to surprise me! Today I found they had added the WWII trucks and command cars to their existing inventory of Shermans, German and US halftracks, and Bulldogs. Plus, they also had a couple of the modern US command cars. Still a couple dozen Japanese troops on the pe...

Hey, I found a Panzer IV in Northern VA! I'm going to assume that someone returned one from somewhere else, because I've never seen one before, and there was only one. Also, the gun barrel was shattered, as they so often seem to be on that tank. I bought it anyway; I had the technology, I could rebu...

Huh! Found the BBI Paras in Northern VA, but more suprising to me was finding the BBI Mustang. It's the first time I've ever laid eyes on "Killer". Seemed to arrive at this particular store at the same time as the Corsair. Cool.

Tracer,
You have a private message from me.

Found and purchased in Northern VA. Never did see the Mustangs...

They were $9.95 per set.

I saw a question, and I thought I'd clarify that the new 1:18 scale vehicles are plastic, not diecast. At least the Sherman I just pulled out of the box is; I'd be surprised if the others weren't as well. Answering another question, the Walmart I found my stuff at did NOT have any of the limited edi...

I'm ashamed of myself, but I'm afraid all of this news goaded me into going to Walmart, and worse yet, I bought product... :oops: At the Walmart I visited, there were: - 1:18 vehicles (OD Bulldog, Hanomag, COED Sherman, OD Halftrack) (20+) - 1:18 Imperial Japanese figures ( 6 different types ) (24+)...

Same here. I asked our local Hobbytown owner about XD, and he told me he didn't stock it because there was "no demand".

I always wonder how these guys know there's no demand for items they have never stocked.

The "new stuff" being discussed includes the new marine figures and the halftracks, neither of which have ever been stocked at a Walmart before. This is the stuff that is supposedly only found near military bases. The stuff you're referring to ( 32x planes and 1:18 scale planes ) enjoys the normal w...

Nonsense! Their logic is irrefutable! Their inventory analysis has shown that XD sells poorly in the regions where they don't stock it, while it sells well in areas where they do stock it. Therefore it is only LOGICAL to send any restock to the areas where it's selling well! Let me know if I can hel...

Well, it may seem like the East Coast lucked out, but the D.C. area has had nothing new. I consistantly see reports from Deleware to the north and North Carolina to the south, but D.C. usually gets left out of the mix for whatever reason. Plus, didn't I see some reports of CA Walmarts getting the st...

OK, I'm convinced. Hasbro will do no wrong. I, for one, welcome our new Asian video game overlords.

Visited the Woodbridge, VA Walmart (new on my list) because I was at Potomac Mills. FW190s, P47s, and a single 32x M113.

It was inevitable that I would offend a Star Wars fan with that last post. Hey, I like Star Wars myself. I came very close to buying one of the new AMT Star Destroyer model kits that were just released. I even used to dress up as Darth Vader for Halloween. I was more ranting about the overwhelming v...
