Price Increases @ TRU on 21st C 1:32 A/C

RAD 2112 · Post by **RAD 2112** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 6:48 am

I stopped in the local TRU yesterday to see what they had in 1:32 Aircraft.
There were still P-47 Evie from February and a couple of Sharkmouth P-51s.
Last week, I picked up a Sharkmouth P-51 for $19.99, now they're $21.99.

Looks like I'm sticking with Wal-Mart for my Aircraft purchases.

Unfortunately, I think this is a sign of the times and it wouldn't surprise me if we see more increases. even with Walmart...

Well that certainly doesn't help clear out the Evie P-47s and FW-190Ds that are everywhere. Maybe if they got in some spitfires they'd get some buyers. I still hate wal Mart and will pay more just to avoid shopping there, but I need selection....

Makes BCA look like a steal! Now if we order five at a time we can even save gas money with their free shipping.

Damn inflation.

That just sucks!!! But if I see the new Spitfire at TRU first I will still buy it at that price.

As usual, nothing but those GD Sharkies and some P-47's at my TRU but I did notice the price increase myself. Also, was the individual 32x armor like the Marder always $20 there? I didn't get mine from there and thought it was kind of odd they cost as much as a playset.

Yes, the armor was $20, or at least that is how much I paid for the lone Panzer 38T and Marder IIIM I found at TRU around the holidays. Then they showed up in bulk at Wal Mart for $5 less a few weeks later...

Unfortunately, I think most of us would do the same thing.

I'd gladly pay that much for a Spitfire if I could find one. But considering the horrible state of 21st distribution here I doubt I will ever have the chance.

Same here, effective today....

Oh well, if TRU gets it and Walmart doesn't. I'll have to bite the bullet.

No Spits at TRU today but they had stacks and stacks of Panzer 38T's and the two Marders.
