Me and Razor only find 2-3 migs. But when the german starfighter was popular they had 10 of them

Didn't see any Huffs at Chesapeake VA Battlfield Blvd WM! They also had three MIG-15bis tiger stripe Chinese and three P-51Ds 'Flying Undertaker'
They had a handful of D-Day figures too, all tankers, I think!

Not really a 21c retail find, but when I started doing some volunteer work at the Legion of Valor museum in Fresno, Ca (which is a very nice little military museum stocked full of various equipment, weapons, uniforms, medals, memorabilia, etc. commemorating America's fighting men from the Revolution to the present) I was quite tickled to see that they had a number of 21c, BBI and FOV aircraft and vehicles on display They were well liked by the veterans!
We are quite lucky to be able to get museum-quality models for retail prices

21st Century Finds
In reference to my earlier post concerning the finds at the Bellingham, WA store. This is the first time I have found current models on their shelves. Most of the time, there is nothing. Maybe one of WM delivery trucks went to the wrong store, or maybe the drivers are given maps of certain stores, and they get to choose where they want to go?

Well, went on a road trip to Los Angeles this weekend, and stopped at a few Wal Marts along the way. Nothing really new, though there were a number of F-104s and D-Day figures to be found.
Those of you in the Los Angeles area may want to take a trip northwards to Santa Clarita and check out the Wal Mart near Lyons Drive off the I-5. It had one of the best XD selections I've seen at a WM in months, including the new F-104s, Huff F-86s, a Chinese Mig-15, the carded 32x Russians, Japanese, and Mortar pits, various 32x Bf-109F/Gs, the new wave of D-Day figures including Tracker Richards and the Artillery Spotter, plus various 1:48 and 1:144 vehicles. I didn't get anything, but for those of you in the LA area with XD-starved Wal Marts, its worth a look

Same here on my side of Atlanta - not all 48 local WMs but a few have the largest selection of aircraft in a long time -
2-4 MIGS usually Chinese - few russian.
1 each of the new starfighters
2-4 of the pearl harbor planes - 2 of each
funny thing is they are not all in one place -
The XD spot has the Migs and the rest are either sitting on endcaps or high up. Funny thing is these are the WM that dont have the new figures.

It's been a while since I went looking(my time and funds have been comitted to building a new AR15), and I was pleasantly surprised.
Chinese and Soviet MiGs, new D-Day and Afrika Korps figures, Pearl Harbor P-40s, both the Tiger Meet and George AFB(?) F-104s.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Interesting... I've been finding the new F-104s, the new D-Day figures, as well as the occasional F-86 and even rarer Mig-15 at the stores in my state, but in none of the stores have I seen the Pearl Harbor P-40s. Seems like they're showing up with the same things back east, but not in the west... Its really nothing big, however
