Pappy's Corsair F4U in Virginia

Just got a phone call from a co-worker in Virginia who is starting to come over to the XD darkside. He is at a Walmart in Virginia near NASA-Langley, and came across four of the Pappy Corsairs. If anyone is around there and needs one, just giving you guys a heads up.

COOL! I assume since this WM is near Langley it is located in Hampton? There are quite a few WM's in the Tidewater area, I'm just trying to narrow it down a little. Thanks for the heads up!

I feel sorry for those few (not around this board, of course) that bought those Corsairs for upped prices on e-bay when they were only a BCA exclusive, and now they are at Wal Mart.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's a Pappy Corsair in fact in the box?? Remember the revamped Kepford is in a Pappy box...

Curious because if 21st released them to WM after being an exclusive thru BCA, well that's just BS!

Sorry I didn't get you guys better info. I'm not sure which one it is (Walmart, that is), I just know where he is working this week.

From his description, I am highly certain it is Pappy's in a blue box. He said it has 86 on the side, the Japanese flags, and the white under the nose. I went to BCA to figure out which one it was, and on their page they mentioned a few of these released to other retailers, so it all seemed to make sense to me. He mentioned there were four, along with four MEs. I tried to get as much info as I could, so no one gets sent on a wild goose chase.

UPDATE:

My buddy just emailed me a picture off eBay of exactly what he saw. It is just the Kepford. Sorry for getting any hopes up.
