They are usually up high on the back wall near toys but could be anywhere. :roll:

We are orphans in NJ stores. Pickings are slim, I scout 4 in NJ and find little 21c, even at one opened a month ago. No 1:6 tanks or anything else in 1:6.

Try eBay. Some are offered at around $70 with not too unreasonable shipping. Ignore the dopes by the dozen offering this tank starting at $269.00. There are alot of nuts out there. There is one guy offering a 1:6 Bradley for $450.00...... I know this is a great item, but I mean, wow, is any 21c Bradley worth that much? Sorry for the rant.....

The problem is the whole sale price for dealers is double some times triple of what 21st C sales them to walmart for. I know, Im a dealer and would like to offer them but I cant compete with Walmart. Id be better buying them from walmart for resale.

I think this is my 1st post here (or at least in a while).

I got one of the 1st Non-RC Stuarts and later one of the RC Stuarts when they 1st hit VA. Of the 6 or so Wal-Marts in reasonable driving distance I have never seen any of them lower than the suggested price tag. The closest WM had 6 or 7 of the latest paint scheme RC Stuarts 2 weeks ago on the wall between the toy and garden sections.

Here's my 1st Stuart that I turned into the M-8 Scott HMC a while back:

That's an awesome custom! Very professional work there.

I remember your screen name from the old GP site, so welcome back! You'll find that most of us from the old site are still here on the new one and just as XD crazed as ever.

tman thanks!!!

I just got back from the nearest WM and they have 8 of the jungle fever Stuarts still up on the high shelf. So high I can't even see the price on them :lol: :lol: :lol: No 1/18 at all. The only other thing I saw was a 1/6 jeep and kubelwagon.
