If they are 1 of 5000 or so, does that mean that 20 or so hit walmarts and the other 4980 have yet to be dug out of MDs bunker? Someone please PM me if there are any left in ones area- I haven't see any internet retailers with em.. I was reminded of that space to be filled recently when looking at my obnoxiously ample assortment of 21st 32nd AC

I thought I had seen them at a etailer, but I checked all my links and couldn't find anyone carrying them. Might go the route Panzer M suggested.

Those came and went in my area last year. When everyone else first got the Red 19 FW-190s and RAF P-51Ds, there were a ton of "Mrs Bonnie" P-51s in my area. Then they all disappeared and my local Wal Marts got a ton of the previous year's Bf-109Fs. I have not seen them in a long, long time. Funny to think that they are rare, but then I once thought the 1:18 scale S1 Graff Bf-109Gs were overly plentiful as well...

Wal-Mart is a poor place to base judgments of rarity on. 21C's distribution was so random and spotty that items would show up in great numbers at one store ending up on the mark-down shelf while the store in the next town never got a one.

I had to get mine from tman since I think he was one of the first if not only ones on this site that reported them out there.

My area was inundated with the Mrs. Bonnie P-51 last June/July.

Had I known 21C was in this bad of shape, I would have picked up more. :cry:

were any of us privy to the future he would not be online here.

He'd be sailfishing in the gulf stream off Costa Rica.
