I found the "Princess" Mustang today also.

The Goshen, In Walmart had Bullfrog I, Princess, Polish, and Bald Eagle Mustangs. I thought Bullfrog I was exclusive to ToysRUs?

Looks like a fourth Mustang that I'll have to get, assuming the ever show in my area... I was really hoping 21c would make "Princess" in 1:32 as it looked very sharp in 1:48 and even better in 1:32

I picked up the 32nd scale British Corsair tonight at Walmart. Great looking model. Princess is a sweet looking P-51. Looks like I gota find that one too!

Jackpot today! Found the new 1/32 play sets of the Hedgerow Sherman with troops, Firefly Sherman with troops, 8" Howitzer with troops and the King Tiger Porsche turret with mortar crew at WM for $19.99 each.
I only picked up the King Tiger set.

I found one each of the "Princess" and "Bullfrog" P-51B/Cs at the Clovis Ca. Wal Mart today

"Princess" is a very nice looking plane, but the black stripes on the tail of my example were horribly painted with uneven edges and overspray

This may be common, as the stripes on rmoore's plane pictured above looks similar to mine. Too bad there was only the one... A little black and yellow paint plus some masking tape should take care of tail, however

Spotted the Bullfrog and newest ME-262 (Red-B) planes today at a TRU in Northern, CA.

The photo makes them look worse than they are, although they are not prefect.

The 32x playsets finally showed up in my area. Its been over a month since the first sighting, correct? I picked up both the "Heavy Artillery" and "Ardennes" set. The Porsche-turret King Tiger actually looked better than I thought in person

hworth18 · Post by **hworth18** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 3:08 pm

Some of the 1/144 planes and 1/32 Me-262s showed up here at the local TRUs along with the Italian/German figures..

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 8:13 pm

Today was a very good day- I found the red B 262 and bullfrog P-51 at akers mill TRU. Also, the Italian and dak figures as well as the 144th ac.
No pak 40 hanomogs, though.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 4:46 am

What is the assortment per box when one finds one red B 262 and two Bullfrogs on the TRU shelf? Was it three of each or two, two , and two of another mustang sheme perhaps?

Is it a box of six, or a box of four, now?

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 7:33 am

Hi,
I collect 1/18 XD, but my local WM had some 1/144 planes, 1/48 planes and some smaller than 1/32 tanks on discount and I wondered if anyone was looking for anything particular?

Just PM or email me and I will be glad to look for you!

They come in a box of two, one of each.

I don't collect the smaller scales of 21st, I'm more into 1/18 scale but Ive noticed at my walmart that there was the new firefly tank and the long tom cannons or whatever they are called

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 11:30 am

21sts 1/32nd front has been pretty active recently; in the past month I have bought the following-

howitzer
long tom
me 262 red B
bullfrog p-51
grey truck repaint
tan truck repaint
sherman firefly
dak A and B sets

there are still 9 more 109 and p-51b/c repaints I need.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 4:02 am

Hmmm, lately everything I have seen at TRU or Walmart has been a box of two. I work at TRU and have put everything out at my store, everytime it has been a box of two.

Local (Maryland) Targets recently completed resets and new FOV 1/72 stocked on shelves. Picked up a couple of the Blackhawks, and a couple Landing Crafts, however I haven't seen the Dragon Wagon yet! and this is the piece I really want. Will be searching a couple more Targets in No Va this afternoon and hopefully will find the tank transporter.

Any P-51 Shangri La sightings at TRU yet?

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 3:06 pm

I found the new 32x Dogfight packs. The Corsair & Zero are a great paring, but 21c really should have given us a new Corsair scheme instead of just repackaging "Big Hog." Why not make Kepford's or Boyington's plane or a myriad of other Corsair schemes?

Jagdpanther · Post by **Jagdpanther** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 4:36 am

Found a Sherman Firefly kit yesterday at Walmart. First ive seen one in a Walmart, also found a P-40 B war hawk Flying Tigers Version. These have been coming out in different Wal marts lately, seen them in two so far must be what they have left.

Edit - Found the Dog Fight set with Corsair and Jap Zero.

Edit - 8/16/07 Found The new German DAK 1/32 figures and Italian Figs and P-51 B Bull Frog at TRU'S last night. Also they had the M26 Dragon Wagon Battle Extreme Series, but I picked it up anyway only $16.00.

Also there was a WalMart near by and I found the Operation Cobra Breakout Play set. Looks they where done with there reset or what ever its called and must have got some of the new playsets in.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 10:59 am

Is walmart planning on stocking any of the following later editions of 1/32
outside of California, Wisconsin, and Illinois?

p-51-raf/polish
p-51-shangri la
p-51-bald eagle
p-51-princess
p-47-tarheel
me-109 russian front
me-109 gabler
me-109 bormski yellow 4
me-109 schultz black 1

I believe someone said all were available in Illinois. I'm trying to sell my m1a1 carbine and springfield nra sporter for alittle (alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) of loose change to pay some bills and maybe leave some to offer a fellow
member to purchase the above and ship to me-
