Odd... the 21C website says now that these two planes are still waiting to load into containers in China.

I agree and KSaint hasn't said anymore..

If that wasn't the Tony I saw, I better seek medical help. I'm out of town so I can't go back to the TRU I (thought?) I saw it at. Anyone live around Crystal Lake, IL to verify if I'm nuts or not?

Ksaint is vindicated! Check the other thread. 21C screwed up apparently.

Great day! Picked up the Panzer 38[t], FW 190A Yellow 11, and the British Sharkmouth Mustang all at the same Walmart!

Is that the new British sharkmouth P-51D you picked up?

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 3:14 pm

I found the Hetzer and Marder III (early variant with the gun mounted in the middle) at the Sanger Ca. Wal Mart

The store is about a 20 mile drive from where I live and I don't check it often, but it seems to get in the new stuff. Finding the Hetzer less than a week after I got one online was a bit annoying, but with Wal Mart, you never know...

B-24Sharky · Post by **B-24Sharky** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 6:14 pm

Yes, it was the new British P-51.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:42 pm

Found more Marder III sdk 139s and Hetzers at the north Fresno Wal Mart, near my house. I should probably get another Hetzer and repaint it, now that they're so readily avaliable

Local TRU 21st info-
plenty of marder IIIs and IIIms, lots of 38ts, also- still a plethora of jagtigers, camo 105 artillery, and yellow 15 fw190s. Still a few p-51b/c's around too. I did find a princess p-51, though.

Local WM 21st info-
If your starting your 109G-F collection, you can find every one including the just arrived winter version; between the usual 6 or 7 WMs. A couple of the WMs have just got in the winter 109 and tarheel p-47s.

Still waiting on..
fw190As and such, p-51ds, cripes dogfight set, hetzers, and of course, new 1/48th planes, too.

FINALLY found a 38t in North Alabama, very nice. Now some Hetzer and Marder crumbs could come our way?????

I found one of the 32X S1 P-51D Sharkmouths at the Cary, NC TRU today. Does anyone know what other aircraft may be shipped with it in the case? I'm waiting for the appearance of the FW-190A/F with "Red 9" being the one I truly want.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 6:58 pm

If its like the other planes that have been released recently, the "Sharkmouth" P-51D probably comes in its own case. The "Mrs. Bonnie" scheme was that way, as were the "Red 9" FW-190s when they were in my area. To me, this kind of stinks as I like getting some variety. The releases of the Macchis and Zeros, Corsairs and Stukas, and P-51B/C repaints coming in the same case are past examples of this. It usually meant I would buy two or more planes instead of just one, and it would take a shorter time to go through a caseload

38ts are fairly plentiful around here--there are 3 at the Benton Harbor WM and a couple at the Mishawaka WM. And the British sharkmouth P-51D is all over, although ones with good paint work are another story. However, I also saw 2 P-47s that I didn't know were out in 1/32: "Angie", and an all black one with red markings. I only saw 1 of each, at different WMs, but still, I was rather surprised.

echoes · Post by **echoes** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 10:01 pm

today I found the Berlin Express, British P-51, Fw-190F-8 White 7, 38t's, Marder III, Marder IIIM, and a Hetzer.
I had a nice day.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 11:46 am

I saw the fw190 f8 (brown camo) today at walmart- no money in my effing wallet till friday- I gave up credit cards for domestic tranquility and now still have neither, so I got to pick the best of the lot, look at it, look at it some more, give it one last look, and put it back on the shelf. Oh, and look at it one more time while walking away..

wait...there is another P-51 out there with shark mouth markings? I know about the Bullfrog:
http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/area21/a ... newsID=269
But that has US markings.
Are you sure you are not talking about the recent P-40 Flying Tiger that has been released?
Dude, can you clear this up, inquiring minds want to know.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 1:34 pm

Ha! I borrowed 16.00 today so no more angst from me today.

Yeah, the british p-51d shown way back in 21st info

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 1:54 pm

Yes it is a sharkmouth British P-51D model. This paint scheme has just been released, and a few members are finding it.

blurx7 · Post by **blurx7** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 3:02 pm

I found some 3 inch McFarlan soldiers yesterday. I heard they were coming but this was the first time I saw them. Found them at TRU. $4.99 each. All modern. Six variations. Army ranger, Sniper. Navy frogman etc. They were nice but I passed. Too expensive for one thing, but I would have gone ahead if they were WWII, but I just cant get too excited about modern stuff. Plus the scale is just slightly too large. I held them next to some 21C 1/32 guys and they looked like they were all on HGH.

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 6:38 pm

I saw six FW-190A models at Walmart this evening. What was strange is that those were the only 21st Century products there.

And you just bought one from me, isn't that the luck??? It happens to me all the time.. If I buy it online it shows up a week later.. If I wait, it'll never show...

Found 2 shark mouth British P-51D at TRU. Bought one and the other had alot of something on the prop so I left it

warhawker · Post by **warhawker** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 12:54 pm

Jackpot!! I too found two shark-mouth P-51Ds here in Dallas today and I have to say this is my fav P-51 so far. I have posted pics on 1/32 Scale thread.
