Found four more Panzer 38Ts at the Clovis, Ca Wal Mart. They also had six of the "Mrs. Bonnie" P-51Ds and assorted 1:48 Bf-109s. That makes two Wal Marts in my area that have gotten in the Panzer 38s in the last week, putting eight of those tanks out for sale in my area. That is a far better record than the single one I found at TRU. TRU remains full of the same 32x Jagdtigers, Howitzers, FW-190Ds, and figures that they had before the holidays.

What's the price of the new 21st Century 1/32 tanks/vehicles at Wal-Mart?

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 10:30 am

The Panzer 38s were $14.95 or something very close to that

Found the Panzer 38s at a WM here in Dallas. Still not 'murders' as Cabe posted in another thread as of yet to be seen at any WM so far.

Yay. I found a full box of 1:144 Atlantic Dauntlesses, RAF Desert Spitfires and Zeroes at the Camden WM. Needless to say, there are only Zeroes to be found.....

Found 3 38Ts on the shelf at a local Walmart. These new window boxes do make it pretty nice for picking out one with the least imperfections. Was hoping to find the new Marder as well, but no luck there.

For those NW forum members interested in 1/48th the Lacey Hawk's Prarie WM has both ME-109 and P-40 schemes avaialable. Couple each Germans and four each US.

Stopped by the Niagara Falls NY Walmart today. All I could see were Kursk and Tunisia playsets, three Berlin Express P-51's, three Black 3 Bf-109E's and XD figures (WWII and the Platoon lineup)

Found the new 1/48 P-40 tiger at WM here in SA this week!

And what might that new scheme look like?

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 9:18 pm

I found the new marder III as well as a single 1/32nd Princess P-51b/c the the marietta TRU today

Among the 32x "Mrs. Bonnie" P-51Ds sitting on the shelf at a local Wal Mart, I found two Bf-109Fs: Mutherich's "Black 10" and Boremski's "Yellow 4." While I at first thought they were restocks pulled out from the depths of the storage room, the boxes were fresh and were the new box-type with the ID info on the cardboard flap as opposed to the sticker on the window. Guess its 21c that's moving last year's stock along

Found (2) Fw-190A-8 "Yellow 11"s today at a way-out-of the-way Walmart..

Also found the Mg34 weapon sets on clearance...

Went into Atlanta today to have work done on my car and decided to check out the TRU/WM/Hobbytown action.
Nothing new per se - lots of the new Marder and the 38 but no new planes.

Ended up getting some stuff I didn't have - the grey Opel Blitz kit for $6.50, an FOV Schwimmwagen for $10, the Jagdtiger that you see at every TRU, and the ambush King Tiger with the two crewmen (Cold Steel line).

Would have really liked a new FW-190.

PS - also got a couple of sheets of the swastika decal sets put out by 21st, so now I can make my planes authentically un-PC.

21C Pz38t releases in all of the Pierce Co. WMs. No sight of the Marders and Hetzers though.

Spotted the Tony at the TRU in Crystal Lake, IL. They had at least 6.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:33 pm

That was fast

Really???? Me want it!!!!!

jlspec · Post by **jlspec** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 6:45 pm

I would love to get a Tony or Hellcat. The WMs here keep restocking the P-40s and TRU have no 1/48 or a couple ME 109K

Is this true or some early April fool's joke?
