21C F-104C "Smoke II" camo

Post by ostketten » Thu Apr 20, 2006 8:04 am

I know that the 21C F-104C "Smoke II" camo Starfighter is being offered for pre-order at Badcat (and possibly elsewhere), but at around $65 a copy including shipping, you have to be a pretty enthusiastic collector or have deep pockets (or both) to order one at that price, and I was wondering if Walmart stores are possibly going to carry these?? Wamart stores in my local area recently had limited numbers of both the silver and German F-104's at $39 each, and it sure would be nice to pick up a "Smoke II" for that price. Any info is appreciated.

Walmart is a crapshoot. I still have yet to see the Desert Stuka. Had to get mine off of Ebay ($55, not bad I think). As it is, my first Flight 19 Avenger will come from Bad Cat. Hopefully I'll be acquiring the rest of Flight 19 from Walmart. Since the German F-104 has been seen pretty extensively at Walmart, I imagine that Smoke II will likely appear as well. I feel it has the best chances of grabbing the non-collector's attention out of any scheme produced or announced thus far.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
