With all the gloom and doom about the hobby the last few weeks; have you had a reasonably productive last couple of months? I've aquired the following stuff
1/32 bluenose p/51-262
bbi dauntless
bbi wildcat
red 9 fw-190f
hildegaard marder
both hetzers
operation torch
bbi phantom
on order- tan/green 88 flak, striped camo mobilwagon

1/18 admiral cl-13
bbi checker corsair wa-22 (used)
p-47 eileen (used)
p-51 petie 2nd (used)
on order- 88mm flak, another panther

probably most of ya'll have similar stories or maybe stories of XD greed so obnoxious and worthy of capitalistic porn that it would bring a tear to my eye and make my chest hairs stand on end with pride to hear...especially during these hard financial times (fear not, hopenchange is acommin..)

I got six Panthers and one 88 from Monkey D.

Does that count?

The series 2 Hetzer is about all I've bought lately. Been buying lots of model railroad stuff though.

I will be picking up some of the newer 1:32 FOV stuff in the near future though.

I have pretty much stopped buying anything until the Monkey Depot sale. The last time I bought anything was in October of '08. So I really haven't spent much or traded much in the last year.

Bought quite a few items from the Monkey.

Some from the MD sale, some 1/6 stuff, but not much. Other then that I've been looking for a 1/144 (N gauge?) BR52 locomotive for an armoured train display for about a year now. Don't even know if such a thing exists. Keeps life simple though.
