Way Behind

Post by Coreyeagle48 » Mon Jan 03, 2005 7:36 pm

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry to hear that everyone is having trouble with these things too. Oddly enough, some of the Panthers and Shermans at my Walmart looked like heck too, and the boxes looked new, so it wasn't Walmart's fault. It's sad to see that 21st is going backward, again.

I think there is a big problem between 21st and Walmart and Walmart is itching for the product. I think the stores on a whole, especially in the Northeast, are behind the curve and are pushing for the newer products. They are just sick of the Hueys and P-40's.

Like for example, two weeks ago the Trexlertown, PA WM, out of the clear blue sky, got two BF-109 E-4's. Now these have been out awhile, so where did they suddenly come from, in 21st boxes no less. I have no idea anymore! LOL

But the two E-4's did look perfect, and I checked today, they were gone!

Corey,

The Motorworks boxes are a thing of the past. Walmart wants the 21st boxes now. The "exclusive" paint schemes go to the online retailers first then it looks like they go to Walmart, thus the 109Es showing up. Expect this from now on. I wouldn'tbe surprised if you see the Marines there as well............

Ski,

Unreal how Walmart wants one thing, and then another, and then something else. Similar to the fact that they want XD, then clearence it, then want it again.

Did Walmart get bought by the circus!
