The Dover, DE TRU got a shipment of Rudel Stukas. Very interesting. Now if they had some BBD P-51's, I would of bit!

New BBI paratroopers have shown up in my area. They are neat figures, really neat, but I don't need them so have yet to purchase any...

No Rudel Stukas - and how long ago were they first reported in that magical land in the middle of this country where new XD items always show up? I'm beginning to think that they never existed and that the rest of you are hallucinating :P

Tman,
Apparently, my hallucination is holding up three other planes (yes, there is a 3rd one, an Admiral ME 262, behind the 109). :P

I just wish I could hallucinate a F-16 or F-18 at my TRU.

Guess I'm hallucinating now as well... I found 4 Rudel Stukas at my local TRU last night 8)

While I certainly don't need a 3rd Stuka, I couldn't help picking one up, especially after all my belly-aching about not finding one. The fact that they took so long to show up is nevertheless troubling, but at least they came through!

Found and bought a P-51 Mustang "Old Crow" for $24.98. In great condition too! A lot better than the Corsair I got at the Glendale TRU. :D

Been over a year since I've stepped in a TRU. Dropped in yesterday, and saw -

1 P-40 Flying Tigers
2 or 3 F-104 George AFB
1 PAK 40 camo
2 DAK figures
3 bbi Corsairs

Between having some of those and watching the Blammo Sale at MD, I did not pull the trigger on anything....


Sorry, looks like I put that on the wrong thread!

I saw them when they first came out, but my TRU has had very little restock on BBI items too. :cry:

I called my local TRU today and they haven't restocked any BBI, but I was given some encouraging news.The aisles have been reset and there are pegs for BBI figures and shelf space for vehicles and planes which could be stocked by Saturday.This is really good news since I have not seen ANYTHING new at TRU in months.

Finally saw some BBI Paratroopers (The New Version) Restocked at TRU. I picked up 5 for customs, but they had about 15 in stock. I hope to see some more of the Basic figs restocked, since, I passed on most of the last modern set.

I found the BBI guys as well and picked up 4 different ones out of the 6 on the pegs. It was nice to see them.

My TRU restocked, three complete sets of the new paratroopers with removable gear. I bought only one each of James Prowse and Warren Marcus, the two I've been looking all over for since last year. Good to see a better distribution, last year only two TRUs I could find had the new paratroopers, Glendale and Huntington Beach, and they were both miles apart from each other.

I went to my TRU today and they only had about 6 BBI's, which did not include the one I went for (Britt para "Sgt. Reid") on the side of the end cap. The rest of the isle was filled to the brim with this "True Heroes" crap. What's the deal?
