Anyone ever buy aanything from "luck_day2005" on eBay? He's listed as in Shanghai, and has LOTS of stuff listed -- including a P40 AVG for ~$90 including shipping. Given what I'm seeing on evilBay, I don't think it's going to get any better than that.
Opinions?

I got my Bunker Hill Avenger from that ebay seller a couple of months ago. Arrived in great shape - very well packed. Would buy from again.

Please don't break my heart, I can't even ask you to buy one and ship it to me ...

I just received my avenger yesterday from him. Expert packing, well protected. I wouldn't hesitate to order from him again. He has some interesting 1/6 figures that have some issues right now. Thay are Dragon WWII figures but with a white generic box. A Dragon website is saying these are knockoffs and are trying to do something about it. Either way the Ultimate Soldier stuff is great. I have had shipping issues with some other planes I have bought on Ebay like poor packaging and USPS parcel post slower than molasses and damaged on top of that so packaging like what he does is nice to see.

I've been talking to him on the side and it looks like he gets his stuff from the factories. He told me the bbi F-16's will be available next month. That caught my attention. O'yeah, I bought his last Dauntless and he found damage, so he went and swapped it for a new one at the factory and bought over 10 more, then gave me $10 for the 1 day delay in shipping. He is a top seller in my book and has connections.

He's got some 262's also.
I'm tempted.
Got the BH Avenger from the Monkey at not a whole lot less.

I have a BH Avenger on the way and had purchased two Merill's Marauders sets from him last year. Everything was good.

I've gotten lotsa stuff from him over the years, mostly 1/6 the last on 4/22 this year. Honest, extremely reliable, fast shipping. No concerns here.

Do you know if the ebay seller's upcoming BBI F-16s are the Wolfpack or Enduring Freedom?

With all these good recommendations, and with AVG P-40s being rare as hell on evilBay ... I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered one.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the past week. My gut feeling is that he will backdoor whatever planes are heading to Germany. The timing is the same. I will be all over it if he does turn up some of those Enduring Freedoms.
