I agree.. I got mine for $18, but it was also the last one and I couldn't pass it up..

The Walmarts in LI are wastelands, and I have never in my life seen anything 1/18 discounted. C44, I know what your going to say :wink: I have never been to Centereach, it's to far from me.

Re: C44, I know what your going to say...Moth, I feel your pain! I'm lucky to have 3 WMs to troll in within twenty minutes of each other, but these have pretty much dried up lately...one glimmer of hope: Smokes & Flying U'takers have finally made it to Middle Island WM...maybe we'll see Sabres by July!

It had very little glue, I fixed that ok. When I took the glass ball off of the turrent, one side of the turrent would fall. This is because the whole floor it is attached to was only attached to one side of the fuselage. :oops: :twisted: :evil: :(
Sounds like you got an Avengaer that was slated for WM,cause that's whaere 21C dumps all their rejects. :P :P :P

Wow some of you are getting Avengers dirt cheap and thats cool. I have my Atlantic scheme Avenger and thats all I want until the Bunker Hill version comes out. But congrats to you guys for finding the Avengers so darn cheap.

Are we still expecting the Flight 19 Avengers to eventually show up at WalMart or are they just going to be available at smaller retail shops? I don't want to waste my time searching at Wally World if there's no hope that one might show up...

I wonder if this store will get the flight 19 Avengers?

I wonder if/when they will reset the price? :shock:

That's got to hurt for 21c! All that work put into the plane and it goes for $2 :shock: It seems that many Wal Marts got inundated with Avengers a few months back and couldn't sell all but a few. If I was a manager and had any say in what my department got, I would be hesitant about ordering a large number of $70 planes that no one wants...


On another Avenger-related note, The Flying Mule (www.theflyingmule.com) has some Flight 19 Avengers marked down to $59.99! Their "Tuskeegee" P-51 costs just as much, for getting only half amount of plastic :wink:

Has anyone seen a Pacific repaint Avenger yet? Look in the b/s/t forum under 'post ebay finds' thread and there is an auction for what looks like a new paint job for the avenger.....a pacific scheme, white 29.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Wow 2 bucks! I have yet to see an Avenger in either of the WM around here. One WM doesn't even seem to carry any 1/18 stuff anymore. :(

I think that one's been determined to be a custom job. The two-tone blue looks good, but he left the canopy framing unpainted (in the gray color of the Atlantic bird) and also left the "nose art" from the Atlantic Avenger as well :wink:

This is a completely self-absorbed thread entry on my part but................so happy, I've finally ordered an avenger for my collection. I was waiting for the right currency exchange price, plane price and shipping price and the flyingmule pulled through on the last two so yay. There was a point when I actually didn't think I could afford one - or at least willing to pay high shipping costs for a brand new one. So it should be on my shelf in 3 or 4 days. All these threads about the avenger and people buying an avenger for the price of a coffee, oh well, how long till the Mitchell?.................I'll get of my soap box now :roll:

Glad you were finally able to get one :D

You will like this plane, and hopefully it arrives all in good shape :wink:
