I have only seen the Graf 109 out here.. On a side note, the 21st promotion must be working.. 2 of my local Walmarts have sold most of their 190's.. Either that, or Walmarts pulling them off the shelves..

The 32X playsets were the coastal defence set with the concrete beach bunkers, the surprise encounter with the blown up bridge halves, one with some buildings and a german tank, one with a lightpole and another german tank, and one more that I can't really remember. They wer about $18 each. I don't know if these were the new or old ones because this is the first time I have ever seen them.

They had the 32x Squad on Attack and Surprise Encounter at my WM for $17. They also had the Winter Halftrack.

Are the Panzer IVs $23 or $40?

Has anyone seen the 1:6 British Commonwealth weapon set at their WM? I have been unable to find that one.

The Walmart in Fresno, Ca. at Shaw & Brawley had 3 each of the M3 Halftracks and the M-41s, plus one COED Sherman! This is the store that usually has the best XD selection and gets the new stuff first. There were no German Hannomags and no Japanese figures.

I got the Halftrack, and may go and get the Sherman if I have the space. The paintjobs on the released Halftrack & Bulldog, while good, seem to lack the overall quality of the origional TRU versions.

I made a run to the other three Wal Marts in the area and they had nothing new.

Had a chance to stop by the WM in Auburn NY today. Was pleasantly surprised to find two each of the $22.74 M41s, Halftracks, Hanomags, and COED Shermans.

Picked up my first Hanomag (I'd always passed on this piece before, but for $22.74, the time was right!). Also got the COED, so my pac Marines can have tank support.

I too noticed that the paint jobs on the M41s and Halftracks were not as good as the S1 pieces. The $22.74 M41s had the Asian figure that 75th described. I passed on these as I have two S1 M41s and an S1 Halftrack already.

Also saw no fewer than 21(!) of the 1/6 Stuarts in various paint schemes, at $149 each, plus several of those wretched 1/6 humvees. Insanity! But I'm very pleased with the Hanomag and the COED.

No sign of any figures.

with very little effort the newly released bulldog could be made into a south vietnamese army bulldog. Since they actually saw combat it could make it a more interesting vehicle to have than the US version, which saw no combat.

You just need to put an american helmet on the new vietnamese figure and change the markings from US to S. Vietnamese, which are very simple....the paint scheme is the same.

I believe the Squadron publications 'M41 In Action' has an illustration of a S. Vietnamese M41 on the cover...

The Mk IV's go for $40....

there must be something definetely wrong

because i just found the new xd items at the wm in west mifflin (pittsburgh).

the store had about 3 or 4 of each of coed shermans, hanomags, halftracks and m41s. no figures to be had though.

true to form, all of the boxes had the distinctive wal-mart signature, i.e., pressed-in plastic and squashed corners. the paint jobs looked okay though, imo.

and for just under 23 bucks each! i almost paid 50 for a coed sherman only a few weeks ago on ebay b/c i was bored with my s1 sherman i wonder what else will hit the shelves.

the paint job on the COED Sherman looks alot like camo schemes used on Shermans in North Africa..

hmmm......

Gave in and picked up the COED Sherman today. Although I already have the recently released brown Sherman, the COED has an awesome paintjob. The figure comes with all the same accessories as the carded version - plus a removable tanker helmet! The vehicle looks great with some Marines riding on the back!

Was checking out WMs web site and it seem strange that i could not find any 21st C on thier online catolog.

Tinman · Post by **Tinman** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 6:10 pm

Nope, too bad they don't sell them online as well as in their stores.

It appears that the new stuff are being stocked at more WM's than the Marines debut. Hope it continues for other new releases that WM will get.

Tinman · Post by **Tinman** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 6:16 pm

And Aferguson, yes, I've had the same thought for the M41, especially with that Asian figure!

immeww2 · Post by **immeww2** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 7:09 pm

I'm not sure, but has WM ever offered XD stuff online?

I have never seen it listed on Walmarts site.. Now what is confusing is that Target DOES sell XD online and NOT in its stores.. Go figure..

Greeley, CO - WM had some COED Shermans, olive drab M41 Walker with new figure, and both the new US and German Halftracks. I also found some 32X playsets.

DocTodd · Post by **DocTodd** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:38 pm

Nothing new here in Austin but a few 1/32 playsets.

Found the Japanese figures at a Wal Mart in Fresno, California today! They still had a couple FW-190s, ME-109Gs, and M-41 tanks. The were a number of the new 32x German and British figures as well.
