I dunno. Badcat has bought stuff at WM before and sold them on their site. Prices seem a bit steep for regular retail from an etailer. I would expect them to be under $30.
You might be right, they're running IIRC for 22.97 at the local WM. But where would they find enough to sell by raiding the local walmarts?
The Motorpool Net has them listed as buy now for 44.99 (IIRC) on evilbay and 35.99 as preorder only on their website. Whatta you do?

Badcat is 10 bucks more than your walmart. Free shipping makes up for that a bit. I lucked out and found these at a local WM. But I was willing to wait. I have seen everything new at various walmarts, just a lot of time to filter through.

The collectors that have few WM are in a pinch however, my job carries me through 4 counties and I drive approx 200 miles a day. Like the Migs' found at a walmart in Okeechobee, if you have been there you'll know how bizarre this is, as there is no kmart, no target, and only 1 MacDonalds.

Thats a very good question to bring up because they are not near a Walmart. Their closest Walmarts are nearer to me and they did not have the new halftracks as of this weekend. I had to drive 30 minutes south of me to find them. In my opinion this is stock directly from 21st. Remember, BadCat is probably the closest e-tailer to their shipping point in San Leandro, CA.chunks wrote:

i know in the past, BCT has gone to WM to pick up product and sell on their site. But that was some time ago.
I didn't notice that they were offering free shipping, which drops the price somewhat, so it is more likely they got these directly from 21c rather than WM. Whatever the case, they are getting easier to find, which is good for everybody.

i never met an airplane i didn't like...

These are from 21st - remember another retailer mentioned they were incoming right about now, and yes BCA is closest as said.
Great to see them readily available but I think $35 for the Pak is a bit steep. This is not a knock on BCA, I'm sure they will be around that price everywhere but it makes it tough to buy a few.
Question - does the front of the M16 come as a separate piece and attach to the vehicle? I notice the pic on BCA's sight does not have it. Theirs also appears to have a bit more white spray highlight.

I got my PAK-40 today. I am truely amazed at the quality and detail. I only wish the 1/6 21C PAK-40 had as much detail and the extra cases and loose ammo? WOW.
A suprise for me was the figure with four extra arms and two of the arms are for an officer. Also included is an officers overcoat. Two figures in one.
If these other new pieces are as good as this,......all I can say is WOW
TTT

Re: new stuff
I think these are prototype pics.. The Stuka Zu Fuss is also showing a Mg on the front with the real one only having one mounted on the rear..digger wrote: Theirs also appears to have a bit more white spray highlight.

Re: new stuff
After you factor in the free shipping, it may be a good buy although not as good as say finding it at WM, but at least you can guarantee yourself one or several of these new items. I guess it all depends on how urgent you want and need these items in your collection.digger wrote:...... but I think $35 for the Pak is a bit steep.

You guys knocking my Pink Pak-40!
I am looking at it right now... It isn't so bad. It goes great with my daughters "littlest pet shop" playsets! Ever seen a bobble head dog, cat, and bunny crew a PAK-40! It made those little critters look pretty darn tough.
Best of all my little girl has now discovered an ability to send her pets to war! Based on the battle scene she had set up the other day it looked like all the furry animals were going to invade the reptile country in a classic blitz.
