Glad to hear you also found a Tuskeegee P-51, VV. Now I know I'm not crazy or that it wasn't a fluke. What ever happened to the "exclusive" status for that plane?
I know, hardly exclusive. I don't think there are any true exclusives in 1:18. I think it's all word play i.e. exclusive in that a particular retailer(s) gets a lock on sales for the first XX months and therefore they can call it an exclusive, when in fact anyone can sell it after that agreed to term.

I'm not kidding though, it was hard to not buy those planes today. REALLY hard.

As I said earlier, I bought the plane for another boardmember. At least that way it goes to someone who wants and will appreciate it -- and it won't sit on the shelf for weeks, tempting me to spend another $40 for a 5th 1:18 P-51 that I have no space for :lol:

You can count the Tuskeegee gone at the Dublin TRU. Thanks VV for posting. I told a friend of mine who has been looking for that plane and he marched right down there, found it - bought it. :D

I found a 1/18 AC restock at one of the TRUs. Consisted of a tiger strip mig15, undertaker p-51, seeman 109, and Tuskeegee P-51- I got the red tail-

Didn't find any sign of plane restocking but did find the kneeling DAK figure at one store. They had about 7 or 8 of them. Now they have 3 or 4 of them left.

Went lookin' for new figs, no luck but found the 21CT Old Crow & Canadian 104...the last thing I need is more Mustangs & Starfighters, but they were so pretty (not even a slight QC flaw between the two of 'em) that I found myself signing the adoption papers... :)...I'm glad TRU is picking up where WM left off, many of these planes probably sitting for weeks on clearance at Midwest WMs never made it to the East Coast...

Found the new Dak (Kneeling w/ MP40) It looks like TRU put out a solid case of just this figure. I thought I would have found the other DAk Artillary Crewman, but no such luck.

No Huff, but damn near everything else.

Mig 15s- korean and chinese
P-51s- old crow, ridge runner, tuskeegee, flying undertaker
Corsair- only bunker hill, though-
F-104- george, smoke II, RCAF
ME-109- seeman

The latest box of 4 I found had an undertaker, george 104, ridge runner and smoke II

I went to my nearest ToysRUs in Houston.
As usual, not much---no 21st 1/18 planes, so no F-86 Huff. Just a bunch of 1/48 Tonys and 1/32 P-51Bs.

Went to the other two TRU's in the area. Only Mustangs I found were one Old Crow and one Flying Undertaker. Found several of the new Vietnam figure . One of the TRU's had eleven or more of the 251/22 Pak halftrack repaint. I don't think they can sell that many at one store.

My local TRU has 3 full pegs of VN figs. (couldn't find them at first and now we are drowning in them)

They had 2 21stC 1/18 planes. But no Tuskeegee P-51.
Anyone find an extra of these -let me know.

Was in NE PA over the weekend and found one of the new DAK guys - Moldenhauer. As others have said, looks like he ships in a solid case.

the Houston ToysRUs on Katy Freeway near the Memorial Mall has:

1. two 1/18 F-104 Starfighters (Vietnam Smoke II and RCAF yellow striped)
2. two 1/18 Mustangs (Flying Undertaker, etc.)

The ToysRUs near Reliant Stadium has the BBI Daisy June F4U Corsair and I think the olive drab Mustang.

Found the new AK guy at the Stony Brook TRU, great looking fig...no Dusty D'amato, though...also found new small scale McFarlane modern figs, see my post in 1/32 scale forum if interested...PS if it's true McF has ruled out ever doing 1/18 figs, well, that's just a crying shame... :cry:
