Success today!! Found the new F-86 S1 today at WM here in Dallas!! I just happen to be passing by WM that I visit once in awhile and there they were. 4 total as well as 2 NK Migs. I picked up two Sabres.

I am WAY ahead of you Tman! I am snooping/scoping out when and where the F-86 will appear here in the Southwest! As well, I am still on the quest for the new 1/32 planes to 'apear' here as well.

I can personally say that I own both, NK & Chinese, and I have to say that the Tiger stripe Chinese is my favorite between the two. The S-3, Russian, to me appears to close to the NK in color so the stripes are really striking and add much more character to the aircraft with the paint schema.

Where was the WM where you found the F-86?

No, but there are alot of people out there on the hunt for it. I thought TKO mentioned that it would be before the holidays.

yeah, there is going to be a weekly series on the History Channel called "Dog Fight" every Friday night. Tonight will be 'Mig Alley' show going over air conbat during the Korean War. They will compare aircraft, performance and tactics all on CGI reactment. This should be a great series!

What did this guy do, knock over a WM truck or broke into a shipping container on some west coast dock and made off with 130 new German 3 ton trucks?

Tman, the snake stuka is very close to you, I found it last week at the WM in Ceres. They had 2! (I say 'close' but being from Texas a 2 hour drive or ...

Paul, I only found the 1 when I was in Calf. last week, but if I had found another I would have sold it to you!

I think WM is packeting all of the new armor in one case of 4:
Pak 40
Panzerwagon
Stuka zu fuss
M16 halftrack

I have looked around and there are not many of these out there on e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ultimate-Soldier-1-18-M16-Halftrack-w-Quad-50-50-cal_W0QQitemZ190045777877QQihZ009QQcategoryZ2468QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ULTIMATE-SOLDIER-1-18-US-M16-HALFTRACK-Quad-50-C...

One last fact about our main source for 21st products: WM plans to open some 245 new stores this year with more next year around the country. With that in mind, current statistics reflect that labour turnover rates are notoriously high in retail business as a fact. WM is mostly part-time and casual ...

I tried to see if WM had a system in place to track and see if there was a way to see which store has what SKU# associated to each....

...looking for the Chinese MIG with no luck...

My plan was that if I found two Chinese Migs, I would buy both and take one with me on the plane and ship the other back via UPS or some mail center. But since there was only one.
