Couldn't believe it! Two of them still there on the shelf!

So 5 weeks ago I get a call from my nephew (grown 45 yr. old) who is off on one of his monthly 300 to 400 mile trips looking for Hot Wheels. Says he has found a particular 21st plane and do I want one. At the time I couldn't pay attention, much less pay for a new plane. Today, I decide what the heck, I'll drive the 60 miles to the store just to see if they are still there, knowing full well after 5 weeks they would be gone. Get there and lined up on the top shelf is a German Starfighter, desert cammo Stuka, P-47 bubble top, some 109s, and some FWs (boxes totally destroyed with the FWs). Wasn't interested in them so I didn't even look to see which ones the P-47, 109s, and FWs were. Well crap, just as I thought, they were gone, but it had been 5 weeks. But wait, I turn around and there they are on the top shelf of the other side of the isle. 2 winter Stukas in Motorworks boxes. No telling how long they had been there. Boxes were fair but weren't totally destroyed. Finally found a sullen employee to get a ladder and get me one. Now, if I can just find a Snake Stuka still on a shelf somewhere. Anybody seen one?
