I was able to put my Mig together tonight. I am seriously impressed. Now, I need to find the Huff.

Covered the Southern IL and St. Louis area, found (and took) one NK Mig so they are in that AO, somewhere..

No problem! Glad your trip was successful! You may want to also thank MK as he is the one who actually spotted the Migs - I only relayed what he said.

I stand corrected! MK thanks for the intel. Your sharp recon and effort made my trip out to Calf all well worth it!!! I have both the NK and now the Tiger Mig and I have to say that I LOVE the Tiger Mig better due to the camo schema and markings. Now the search in on for the Russian Mig!

On another note, I noticed on ebay that someone out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida is selling the NEW 21st Sabre & NK Mig combo and I believe the S2 Sabre version as well. He has a few listed as well.

I have the S2 version of the 21st Century F-86, and it is a beauty. It looks great sitting next to my NK MIG-15. I am still looking for the Chinese MIG with no luck.

Wow! I wonder where the heck he got those?

John Lumley, have you come across anything like this?

My plan was that if I found two Chinese Migs, I would buy both and take one with me on the plane and ship the other back via UPS or some mail center. But since there was only one.

For flpickupman:

I have been searching the Palm Beach County Wal-Marts and they do have any of the new planes except for the 1:48 scale.

No Sabres
No Migs

I will keep my eyes open. This can only mean they are getting closer.

I found the S1 Mig in Mt. Vernon IL. (Jct of I-57 & I-64.)

How does this guy have 86 of these and we can't seem to find just one?Sounds kinda funny to me.

I still would like one and the price isn't bad at all either.I was thinking of asking him if he would trade a mig for one but he has plenty of those too.

I ordered one from him (and he gives discount for active duty military, so excellent final price) and it has already been shipped. Should have it this week.

Good deal?

Look at the shipping costs!

My shipping was a little cheaper but even so, this is about what it costs to send a large plane. Most on-line retailers charge the same or more.

My final price was a few dollars more than buying at Walmart with taxes and was under fifty dollars. Saving gas and frustration is worth 4 dollars more to me.

JOC · Post by **JOC** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 11:16 am

Why is everyone worried about a few dollars extra for shipping? I was charged $14.00 from Florida to Washington State, somewhat better than others. If you can't find one in your area, and want this plane, then go for it. I tried this seller, and received the plane in pristine condition, box not crushed, in three days, coast to coast, after ordering. He answers email questions in a very timely manner and customer service from this seller is good. Bottom line, wait for WalMart with shelf wear or spend your time looking and waisting time and gas. I for one, who can't find these items in my area, chose to try this guy and I am very pleased. Will I go back again if he has what I would like to have. It's a no brainer

jbell · Post by **jbell** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 1:35 pm

I'd have sworn when I looked at those auctions earlier, shipping was $40 plus dollars. Either something changed or I'm hallucinating. Probably the latter.
You guys are right, thats not a bad price!

I agree. I ordered mine on Monday and received it today!

Box is so crisp, I hate to open it. This guy is great! and I really appreciate
the military discount, plus he doesnt gouge on shipping. I hope he gets the new Armor!

What ever you do, do not put it near or n front of an F-86, there is bad blood and terrible things happen when you are away. Today I found my f-86 teetering on the edge of my self.

If its from that guy in Florida, you will not be disappointed.

The Mig Alley program was great. Love the F-86.
