I saw them at Small Joes....marked up a bit but if you want one I think they still got 'em.
Why didn't somebody say it was going to be damn near impossible to find a Starfighter if we didn't act fast?

Thanks for the leads through posts and emails. I have been suprised with my local WM with the quality of their releases, but I really wanted the US metallic version. If I am lucky, the later releases will show up at WM and I will get them there too.
Thanks again.

Folks, I recommend that you proceed with EXTREME caution despite how legit the website looks and attractive the price. Consider yourselves forewarned!

vulgarvulture,
So, what's up with online retailer??
Did you have a bad experience with them or what?

Yes. A true cluster*&)$. Money accepted and no goods delivered, despite claims of goods being shipped. Much time and effort went into getting $$ back. Perhaps mine was an exception in terms of having a bad experience and others have done just fine. That's why I say proceed with caution.
For me, it's BCA all the way from now on!

Thanks for the warning.
We need more intel like this to make sure that people don't get taken by shady dealers...
