They actually had 1 each of all the G-6's which is the first time I've seen that. Also had the German 104 and a Sky Captain. Had the US halftrack which I haven't seen in a store in a while and a Sdk.

Finally found one

There were so many of red nose 109s in every California Wal Mart and they just sat around. The were at all 6 stores in my general area in central california, and there are still some! Everyone in every state east of the rockies has had a far more diverse distribution of 1:18 goods at Wal Mart than we have ever gotten in the west. Its kind of wierd if you ask me...

You've obviously not been to Pittsburgh.

I guess that you don't visit Central N.J. either. Our Walmarts have to be the worst in the country. We are bogged down with the German 104, Black Me-109, Seemann, R/C M113, Japs and OMG.

Nothing new, good or rare.

Yeah - but you GOT the German F-104, Seeman 109, had the others earlier. In the west we are only just getting the silver F-104s, Hackl & Sahl 109s in any quantity and still have yet to see whats rotting in your AO. Its all just odd.

On that note I just picked up the M48 Patton re issue, it feels a lot heavier and I believe the hull is metal. I haven't taken it out yet but the paint on metal has a different look than on plastic.

It would be so nice if every walmart carried everything and had a regular stocking day ala the dvd and video section which is Tuesday in our area.

No mention of these re issues from area 21 or 21C.

scbvideoboy,
Did they have any more of the M48 Patton tank??

ANYONE - I am willing to trade a M2 Bradley or other items for a M48 Patton Tank - please email me: [email protected]

tkjaer21 · Post by **tkjaer21** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 7:30 am

Hey scbvideoboy,

I was just wondering if your M-48 had the muffler/snokel that hooked to the back of the tank? Also, were there any spare parts that I must be missing like whatever fits in the slots at the beginning of the turret? One last thing, please confirm if there was a figure or not.

Many thanks,
tkjaer21.

I only saw one on the shelf. And took it and was giddy all the way to the register.

I have been hitting just about every walmart in my daily travels as service tech since it was posted reissues were being found and this WM had the 104's, 109's, stukas, corsair, the german halftrack with number 13. No jeep.

This tank weighs a ton, all metal hull, same plastic turret, and no weathering applied. Looks and smells fresh off the assembly line.

No figure and no snorkel, just a hole in back. Rust colored tracks with same USMC marking.

tkjaer21 sent you a PM.

Really nice to see 21C using metal on tank hulls. Wish they would start doing metal turrets too.

No sign of new vehicles here today.

tkjaer21 · Post by **tkjaer21** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 4:51 pm

The Wal-Mart that I bought my M-48 also had an M-41, and a P-47 Eileen Bubbletop. I think that they were there because the Wal-Mart had just opened on May 17th. I bet most of the Tanks are in the back storage. I wonder if you ask them or give them a SKU number, if an employee can get it for you?

I have seen the Navy Seal Tac Jeep today. Same box style as the Mutt with tow and no figure. Has anyone else seen these? Has the Mutt with M60 been spotted? Thanks

Digger,
Thanks for the info. But Louisville, KY (The Ebay location in link above) is like 2 hours from me. I have been looking around my local AO WMs and have not seen anything yet. It's wierd with WM's distribution. Tman in CA can sometimes find new XD items you and I can't find in our areas. Whereas, sometimes you or I are the lucky ones to find the new item first...
Who are these WM distribution people?? THEY ARE EVIL!

They taunt us with their non-pattern distribution!

Okay- if anyone finds a M60 Mutt - SHOUT OUT and email me: [email protected]

If there is New-Old Vietnam stuff out there - I WANT IT!!!
Missed the boat the first time around on these vehicles.

. no mut with m16

if i see i pick you up one. razor..

NSTV is the vehicle you have to wonder about. I really don't know why they released this one again - it was a total shelf warmer. Now with no VN Seal it is really a dull offering. People were groaning about the new hanomag; this release puts it in perspective. I hope we don't see the M41 again...

I like the idea of releasing the regular Mutt with the TOW launcher - it at least gives us a basic ground vehicle that can be customized and so on to suit our needs. Besides, weren't we clamoring for 21c to release a small "jeep" vehicle at one point?

As for the Seal Tactical Vehicle, these are still avaliable at some small retailers (The Toy Federation, for one) and cost pretty much the same as the Wal Mart version if you don't count the shipping. Plus, it comes with the Viet Nam Seal figure. I totally agree that this was a shelf-warmer, and the origional version sounds a little better than the WM rehash.

Morian Miner · Post by **Morian Miner** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 6:38 pm

The Nogales Walmart had the four vehicles (halftrack, hannomog, NSTV, and TOW Mutt). I really wanted to get the TOW Mutt, but couldn't justify it when for the same price I got the Bulldog for, and that came with a figure. I'm glad 21C rereleased this, but no fig is a major oversight.

digger · Post by **digger** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 7:50 pm

OK, that auction and some people here have been saying that there is metal in the tank - do we know this for sure or are we just guessing due to the weight. I can tell you right now that the original M48 was heavy as hell, and in the box easily could have been 6 pounds (as the one in this auction seemingly is). Anybody actually "felt" any metal on this sucker or are we going on conjecture? Thanks for any guidance.

tkjaer21 · Post by **tkjaer21** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:41 am

I can confirm that the body and hull are metel, everything else is plastic on this tank.

I'm hoping for the new stuff here in Atlanta but three of the Walmarts I visit just unloaded three boxes of hummers and trucks -

now instead of two hummers sitting on the highshelf - i see 8 hummers sitting.

Oh yeah it's metal, weighs a LOT more that the original, I had mine out and was tinging it, also metal feels colder than plastic and the paint has a different texture and specularity look than plastic.
