The only place that seems to still have them is Aiken's Airplanes for about a hundred bucks. They say that have free shipping for all orders over 40 dollars and supposedly have all five in stock.
I managed to pick up all five over the last couple months, but they quickly dried out with 21C demise.
Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

MD is raping people on shipping. I have sold at least 7 cases of Atlantic Avengers and shipped them all over the world individually 1 at a time. I ship em in a 28" x12" x 12" box at a weight 0f 8.5 pounds... go to UPS website to see how bad you got ripped off. MD also ships by fedex which is supposed to be even cheaper than UPS. It costs no more than about 16 bucks to ship an Avenger anywhere in the lower US. I just shipped one to France by USPS for $56.50. JD
i think they're compensating for low sale prices by jacking up shipping.
I figure i paid about $13 too much for shipping. USPS should probably be about $30 to canada, not $43. But when you factor in i got the avenger for $60 i really didn't do that badly as they're going for $80++ everywhere else. Just a bit irksome to be overcharged on shipping, is all and it will definitely make me think twice before purchasing there again.

That's why I didn't mind the high shipping on the crazy closeout stuff like the 88's, Panthers, etc coz the item was so cheap it still factored in as a good deal even with high shipping. Now do I shop there for current HM, Witty, etc....no sir I don't.
I wonder what their shipping calculation for a common non closeout item would be of similar size. Outta check it out, I bet aferg is right and they jack up the shipping just on the closeout stuff..

Yeah, FedEx and UPS cannot compete with US Post Office on international shipments. Mainly, this is because they do not charge by volume (YET). When that day comes, buying from the U.S. is going to become a very unfeasible scenario.aferguson wrote:i had it shipped usps. UPS and fedex were a lot higher.

the big reason that usps is cheaper than fedex or ups is that couriers don't offer a slow service like usps does. All the couriers have overnight, 2 day etc but usps priority int'l usually takes 2, 3, 4 weeks to arrive. I don't mind waiting but that's why it's a cheaper service.
I wish couriers would start offering a slow service like that because their prices would probaby beat usps.
