WOW!!!!

There's someone called crazyfordiecast that has the KT and JT with the starting bid of $39.99!!! Buy it now for $54.99!!!
And they're not even XD.

You'd have to be "tanked" (couldn't resist) to buy those!!!

I'll just have to wait for Wally's to come through....but not holding my breath.

makes me think a 1/18 scale one would sell pretty well at $40, huh.

I noted that auction a day or so ago in the Kingtiger thread below!

There's another Jagdtiger/King Tiger pair that have starting bids at $39.99 and Buy Now functions at $54.99. No takers yet...

Tman,

That's the ones that I was talking about.

BTW, the new P-40 is SWEEEEEEET!!!

I've seen atleast 12 of them since 5/28.

I think that it's the best one yet.

Have you received your's yet? If not, you'll see what I mean when you get it.

Also, watch the screws on it. There's two that have flat heads and they go in the farthest holes back.

Haven't recieved the plane yet. My check has to reach him first, so we'll see how long it takes a letter to get from LA to Houston and not get lost over the Memorial Day holiday. I expect I'll have it next week. Can't wait!

Didnt Even know the king tiger and jagdtiger is out yet. Im an authorised dealer and havnt gotten an preorder email from 21stC yet. Havnt seen them in walmart yet either. At those prices I can beat him and sell more on ebay then him.

That crazyfordiecast person has lowered their prices to $23.99 and buy it now for $28.99 - still too high.

It's still kind of strange that noone had any pre-order offers. I've been watching everyone's site like a hawk waiting to swoop down and place my order. That's what I had to do to get the 88 and the Jagdpanther.

Good luck finding them in Wally's....

To bring in the subject of another thread...

did you notice that BCA took off the pictures for the Jagdtiger and Kingtiger preorders? It may be a while before we see those at the small retailers...

I was talking to a online (ebay) retailer that orders direct from 21st. He said the following: "And I just talk to my 21c rep today nothing new due to come in till late summer, he said this is their slow season."

Tman,

A fellow board member found me 2 KTs and 1 JT in Cali and shipped them out to me today.

As for BCA, I remember seeing the pics of the tanks but nothing about a pre-order.

I did notice something strange on SBP's website - no 32X. None, just 1/18 scale stuff.

I wonder if something strange is going on with 21st and online vendors?

Who knows in this hobby...

I just got an email from Chapman at 21st C about the Jagdtiger and King tiger. They will not be released for a couple of months. Unless Walmart has them. They get stuff befor us dealers get the preorder from 21st C.

seems that sometimes smaller retailers get stuff before WM (eg 109G, Panzer IV etc) and sometimes it's the other way around.

Exactly....and let's not forget the 1/18 Dodge Truck, CC & desert humvee which so far are dealer "exclusives"

luftpanzer · Post by **luftpanzer** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 2:13 pm

More likely WM has had them in one of their Distribution center and they just hadnt shown up at there stores Yet. Look at the 88mm Flak Gun. 21st C sold out of them as soon as they got them. But you still find them showing up at WM around the country. Walmart is 21st C bread and butter now so it makes since that they get 1st dibs on everything.

I just picked up a King Tiger at a WalMart in Glen Burnie, MD, and left two others and three Jagdtigers behind.

luftpanzer · Post by **luftpanzer** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 4:16 pm

I have 3 Walmarts in my area so Im skipping class early tonight and going Tiger Hunting. I just got off of area 21 site and so it seems that WM those have them. But being my luck none of my WM will have em. They never have anything except 1/18 190s.

luftpanzer · Post by **luftpanzer** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 4:07 pm

Just as I thought, Checked out walmarts in mt ao and all they had where
shermans and 190s. Same ol crap. Did pick up a new war movie
Saints and soldiers, Heared it was pretty good.
