Are the main landing gear on the f-86 supposed to angle inwards a little bit even with the supports extended? I'm thinking yes but I don't trust my thinking.

I found 4 Chinese Migs at WM in Delavan WI. They were just sitting there on the floor, the stocker went on break before putting them on the top shelf. That saved me another "Don't use the ladder" speach.

LOL! I've been told a time or two not to use the ladder as well!

I ALWAYS use the ladder. So far I haven't gotten caught either. I feel like a criminal when I climb up.
Not my fault the good stuff is always on the top shelf and the workers are in hiding.

The ladder is sweet move! I can't tell you how many times I have used the ladder at WM.

Here's one for you. Talk about the ladder situation. I asked a W.M. employee if they could get something down from the top shelf for me. They replied: "There is a ladder around the corner that I could use". I guess that there is no use being ignorant and lazy unless you show it. W.M. is truly a self service store.

I like it when they ask If i can be helped - when I'm standing on the bottom shelf reaching for the top box - I usually say no thank you - I already have the situation under control.

There is a WM in Malabar FL off I-95 exit 173, that had a bunch of the F-86's and Chinese tigerstripe Mig's.
Don't know how the Florida guys are doing. I have 2 migs already so i passed on the stripey one.

Chinese Migs are in the Villa Rica Wal-Mart here in Georgia. They have/had six of them on the very top shelf in the Tool isle as of last night.

The Clovis, Ca. Wal Mart still has 3 "Mitches Squitch" F-86s and the Fresno Wal Mart on west Shaw ave. has newly stocked 6 of the same plane! No Migs are currently to be found, though they have been in my area in recent weeks

The WM in Washington IL. has "Mitch's Squitch" on clearance for $28 today. I think there's about 6 of them. (Along with a couple "Seaman" 109's.)

That is very sucky
Two stores in my area got the F-86s, and one has both F-86s and NK Migs. If my relatively podunk town has them, then why not yours? Afterall, they came out closer to your AO than to mine. Then again, my town has yet to see either version of the Avenger at a Wal Mart in any significant number. I'm sure the jets will head your way eventually!

FINALLY!!! Found six "Mitch's Squitch" Sabres at the WM/SS in the DFW area of Texas. This one is the WM adjacent to Ranger Stadium (Ameriquest Field) in Arlington at Collins and Ballpark Way! They are NOT marked down....yet. No tiger stripped MiGs yet, but still looking. Nothing new in 1/32nd scale yet.

Finally got in 4 Mitch F-86s.. But still no 32x planes.. A ton of Avengers though, waiting to see if they plunge to the magic $29 mark..
