"Market" Indicator for 1:18

Post by mwanz » Thu Dec 23, 2004 3:48 pm

Anyone ever contemplate a weekly "hot list" of items? It would give members n idea of what to look for and share if we find them on the shelves/online...

I figure it could include the highest demand and those which are "dust collectors."

I saw four "Scotty" Stukas at my WM (Ft Myers) yesterday and have no idea if others might be interested or if it. I'm a Grunt and am emerging as a collector.

Obviously someone would need to assess the value on a frequent basis, but judging by the bubbletop and M113 and BBI P-51 threads, I don't think there would be any problem.


See my poll for an idea of what I am lookiong for... I would limit it to items that we are POSITIVE are on the market (not pre-orders).

JUST A THOUGHT.

Interesting idea. I would think that the voting will heavily favor any vehicle not readily available to everybody. Right now, many of the repaints are hitting the shelves, with the 109G not quite there yet. I expect that the 109G will get the heavy favorite, I might just be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time either............

I am waiting for the Panzer IV to come out, that is what I voted for.

I'm for the 21st Panzer IV. Luckily it will be avaliable to the small retailers and I won't have to scour Wal Marts for it with no luck!
