I don't know, there wasn't a price sticker and I didn't bother to scan them.. Sorry..

There seemed to be a large selection of modern and WWII American troops.. I don't know how many individual pieces there are, but the Walmart had a stack of about 30 assorted..

A Wal Mart in Fresno got the new FOV 1:32 "Soldiers of Steel" sets. Its been a while since I last saw anything related to FOV at Wal Mart.

The 1:144 tanks just showed up at the Pompano Beach, FL Walmart. All 6 models and a whole endcap dislay full of em.

I had just been to a local WalMart Thursday, so didn't expect much today (Saturday) when my wife wanted to go there for some snack gifts. Lo and behold, a 21st Coastal Defence Playset! This WalMart hadn't had the playsets for months. So either they got a shipment of playsets in and this was the only one left, or it had been languishing in a back storeroom hidden away until the Christmas rush cleaned out the stuff hiding it. Either way, I'm happy.

Visited the local Wallyworld today and nothing new except restocks of the current 32x planes and restock of the XD Sahl, Hackl 109s and AF 104's with a huge restock of 1/144 tanks..

Found the new 32x Brumbars, Stug IVs, and Panzer IV Ds at two Wal Marts in the Fresno area today

The Brumbar looks interesting and quite unique, though the green & tan cammo pattern leaves something to be desired. The Panzer IV D, while sculpted well, has an overall unexciting weathered gray paintscheme. The Stug IV was my favorite (and the one I picked up). It has the same cammo pattern as the Brumbar, but includes sideskirts and I think has an opening commander's hatch.

Out of curiosity, anyone by chance sighted the new 32x aircraft yet?

Dropped into my localest Glen Burnie, MD WalMart this afternoon and found the new 32x Brumbars, Stug IVs, and Panzer IV Ds. Also the 1/144 series, all of them. They weren't on an endcap this time, just piled four high in neat rows on the shelf. Won't stay that neat very long, I'll bet!
Then I dropped into a Target and found the FOV 1/72 Tigers. No King Tigers. They must have been picked up before I showed up.
What a surprising set of finds!

The Olympia WM has about 4 each of the new German tanks

Found the three new German Tanks at WM in Round Rock. The price for the FOV figs is about $9.00. Too high for my budget/interest.

found the new 32x armor today at Walmart as well and picked up the Sturmgeschutz and Brumber. I opened them up and cant find any piece of the Brumbar that is die-cast

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 6:09 pm

the three new tanks finally showed up here in atlanta, I got all three, of course. I realize now that space is not only an issue with the 1/18 products, but the 1/32 as well-around 30 and counting. I am a collector, not much of a modeller or I could probably be little more discerning.. but the more the merrier. Also, the new review thread has really good ideas on improving these new ones.

The FOV 1:32 soldiers showed up here in the Camden, DE Walmart along with the 21st Brummbar and STUGIV. The figures are really cool looking. I really wish that 21st would do the Brummbar in 1:18!!!!

Any hearsay on the upcoming zero and maachi 1/32nd planes?. I thought gossip on availability centered around the Christmas season. The new 1/32 armour and 1/18 109 repaints have taken up the slack, but any humint on the situation?

I have been hitting my local Walmarts just about everyday in hopes of seeing something, but so far NADA..

flpickupman · Post by **flpickupman** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 7:23 pm

One each of the Panzer IV Ausf F, two Stugs, and one Brummbar.

I've already got the "Brummbar", 2-Stug IV's...Passed,on the Panzer IV-D model though,...FOV's version of both F-types, blows it away, completely !

hworth18 · Post by **hworth18** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 12:11 pm

Went to my local Walmart today..
No new 32x Aricraft

They did get the Stug, Brumbar, and PzIV in, but for the most part, still existing stock with bare shelves where the new stuff goes..

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 10:54 pm

Nothing new in my AO save for stuff that has all been reported before. One store comically had six 32x Brumbars and nothing else. Guess I know what isn't selling... That is still a cool vehicle, IMHO. The lack of the 32x planes (which were supposed to be out last month) is troubling.

flpickupman · Post by **flpickupman** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 6:19 pm

I saw the damndest thing tonight. Two of the four Walmarts I frequent had the CDC/Matchbox/Dinky Shermans (75 and 76)and some aircraft (Aleutian Tiger's P-40, Eagleston P-47 and a P-51). I wasn't aware these were available anyplace other than a Tuesday Morning type store. Now I know where to get my Shermans to fight the Dragon Armor Panzers.

WM in Rockaway NJ has the Brimbar and Stugg in stock now. Looked like a case of each.

I found the 1:72 fov Challenger and King Tiger at the Hodgekins IL. Target today, I thought the fov armor in this scale was pulled from the shelves for some reason?
