At the prices those are going for you better get all you can and list them in case they become more widely available. Might be a good time to list the other new PTE items if you can get them. As an eBay seller myself it always amazes me what some people will pay for this stuff.

Wow. I can't figure this one out. I hope you have a trunk full of them and a backseat full of the tanks.

Hi Guys, yeah, I did get a shock when the first one sold for US132 :shock: I did pick up a few planes but can't find any more copters or tanks :(

eBay buyers can be insane. A few years back I bought a bunch of 1/43 1934 Ford trucks for $2.50 each. They had a Lionel Trains logo on the doors so I listed them in the Model RR section instead of the diecast car section. They sold for anywhere from $15 to $40 each despite the fact that if the buyers had done a search in the diecast car section they could find several of them for less than $10 Buy it Now. Obviously some people have more money than sense.

Tankduel are PTE items seasonal in NZ the way they are here in the US? If they are then it may well be late this summer before you can find any more. I checked 2 Big Lots here today for PTE stuff. They had a few left over 1/18 pieces and no 1/6 stuff at all. They haven't received anything new since before Christmas. There is obviously a good sized market for the stuff they produce but it can only be found from a few retailers and only during certain times of the year. I don't understand why M&C distributes their stuff this way.

I agree with you, kduck.
I don't understand why M&C does business this way either. Big Lot's and M&C are missing out on making money ALL YEAR round instead of a few weeks once a year.
