Long Island Report
Old Country Road - More S3 Russian Migs.
Uniondale/N.Jerusalem - Tiger and Silver Starfighters, the old NF 109's, and Huff Sabres.
I was in 1 more Walmart, but I dont know the "LI Jargon" for it. It's on exit 27N, then the first exit on that road. They had a lot of the new Starfighters, and MS Sabres.
Massepequa Walmart has no 1/18 at all, neither does the new one near Republic Airport.
Figures are more or less unchanged in all Walmarts.
I bought the new silver Starfighter, I really like it, it has a very nice paint job. It's actually my first duplicate of any plane, I bought the Luftwaffe Starfighter as my first plane, and have been killing myself for a long time that I missed out on the S1 Starfighter, well now I finally have a Silver one
If someone finds the new P-40's, please tell me.

Local Northern Kentucky recon shows the Big Beautiful Dolls are in town along with the Huff F-86 and the Tiger F 104. All of these planes can be found at the Florence store. I snagged a BBD and must say it’s a great looking bird. I love the clear canopy.
On a side note I also noticed a 32x Winter ME-109. This was obviously a returned item. It looked like the owner tried to “customize” the winter paint scheme by dry brushing on more white. They did such a bad job on it they decided to return it. What a waist.

Found both F-104s, PH P-40s, and Old Crow and BBD. I already have all of the planes except for BBD.
I was going to buy the BBD but the paint jobs on the 4 they had were unacceptable. Fuzzy checkers, lots of smudges and fingerprints, red outlines that are a bit too pinkish, and black that wasn't really black enough.
I'm not terrribly nit picky and I accept that most 18th planes have some flaws because they are toys, but these were really bad. I'll wait until I find a better batch.

Visited a WM I don't normally go to today. They had six Big Beautiful Dolls, two Old Crows, both Pearl Harbo P-40's and the Canadian Tiger Meet F-104. I was very suprised because this store never has any XD. The BBD's looked fantastic, it is the first time I've seen one in person and I was tempted but I really don't have the room.

same here - one store In LoveJoy GA - outside Atlanta - has the most planes I have seen in a long time - this store had a ton of 190's when they first opened probably from other stores - and they just went missing one day - probably in back - but from no planes to a few Migs (few months back) many Migs (last month) and now 4 chinese Migs, 2 Russian Migs, 2 pearl Harbor warhawks, 4 tiger strip 104s, 4 silver 104's and now 4 old crows. Another store did the same thing and pit two of their 104's on clearance for 39.77 - instead of 39.97.

Well, at least they're in CA! Now if they'll ever show up in that number further south. Me thinks not But it is probably just as well that they don't - if I saw a BBD P-51 with a near-flawless paintscheme, I would probably walk out with a 6th Mustang for the collection...Bruzzer wrote:I dropped by the Gilroy, CA Walmart this weekend. A ton of XD 104's, Camo Migs, PH P40's, and bunch of BBD's.

Damn! My local Wal mart that has been getting in the 1:18 stuff just got in 4 Chinese Mig-15s. I think they're slowly cycling this stuff through: first the F-104s, then the Huff F-86s, then the F-104s again, and now the Migs. At this rate, perhaps I'll see the BBDs and PH P-40s by September?

FYI Renton, WA Wallymart recon
At the Renton, WA Wally today 6/26/2007, found;
Couple "tiger striped" Mig-15's, couple Dragon Huff F86's, a BBD P51, and F104. Plus about 4 of the Special Ed Pearl Harbor P40s.
Most 1/18th A/C I've seen in a Wally in a LONG time.
