Since I know some of you browse all over the diecast warbird forums, I figure I'd put a feeler out.
Looking for the BoB Corgi Ju 88A-1.
If anyone sees a seller, please get the email address for me or a link to the sale. I'd really appreciate the help in finding this bird.

Sorry, thought I had seen one on Aikens. Turns out it was a Bf110. Good luck.

The Mule gets rare/sold out stuff all the time so I suggest you also click on a button at the Mule and they will notify you if it comes back in stock.

I noticed they don't do the email restock notice for OOP/Discontinued products, So I just need to check back in the rares every now and then and hope for the best with the Mule.
But then IIRC I was looking for a Mule ed. Fw190A-6/R3 and found one on eBay for 85, offered 75 and got it shipped for free, then you or someone else here posted another one for sale within the month.
So maybe that kind of luck will hit with the Ju 88A-1s once the BoB anniversary is over, and people start selling off the horded stock.

thanks for the links Grouchy, going to sit down and figure cost w/shipping and go with the best of the bunch.
and then next month Ju88A-1 will be going for 20GBP on eBay after I order mine.
just like with the two Dragon Normandy Panthers I got this month..then 3 more popped up and sold for less 15$ each from the same UK seller.

No problem Panzer M, had a little spare time on my coffee break
I totally understand what you saying, had that happen to me many times, plenty of "DOH!" moments
Still, doesn't hurt more then not pulling the trigger on something and next thing you know its gone forever or paying bonkers prices with much regret
What's that saying about having hindsight and foresight?

yea so I have 2 Ju88As now, the Finland Ju88A-5 and now the LG1 Ju88A-1 and plan on getting the Ju88C-4 Nachtjäger in Dec/Jan, unless a Defense of the Reich Day Zerstroyer is announced.
Now sure which A model I like more, the KG30 A-5 or this LG1 A-1.
although I wonder if the tooling is actually different between the two(Wingspan is different)

Aw shucks Snake thanks for the kind words
Glad to help out anyone here however I can
The tip I gave you did not turn out as well as hoped when the company decided to release a s2 on that rare scheme right after you got yours
Thats a decent price for the Ju-88 Panzer_M, congrats to you!
The Corgi Ju-88 is a gorgeous model, eagerly anticipating the next Corgi Ju-88 coming soon
