Funny,
I just checked a little bit ago and there wasn't anything but the 109.. Wonder if there will be more?

I could still use a few more to complete the collection- asking for an extra mrs. bonnie around here is like asking someone to pick up the soap for ya in the gym shower- not very effing likely!!!!!!!!

Yup, Ms. Bonnie is HTF. I never saw them at retail, and had to bid on one on ebay, where they don't seem to come up very often.

You would think JSI or someone would have realized that the retooled 1:32 Mustang D's and the B's and C's were good sellers, and bought the 1:32 Mustang molds.

The last one "Double Nuthin" got snagged quick. I never even saw the green box Walmart one, but managed to get a Target one barely.

That is really funny with the rarity of the Mrs. Bonnie P-51s. They were all over my area in the first months of 2008. 3 Wal Marts in my area had them and they sat around. In fact, Mrs. Bonnie P-51 backups prevented the timely arrival of the FW-190As and RAF P-51s.

They have long since disappeared, but funny to think they were actually rare. I picked one up and it is certainly not my favorite P-51 scheme, but I will hang on to it for the time being

I managed to snag a Bonnie just recently for $20 on ebay - I never saw one in a store around here.

I've got one coming in the mail, too.

Re: nothin really left at monkey depot...yeah, it appears the fat lady has sung...which leaves me wondering, where did the Double Nothin P51s and Chinese infantry go to? MD got such Target stuff as the Sherman & arty crews, so where'd the rest of the final 21CT runs go? I was hoping to pick up some of the Chinese troops...the subject matter wasn't greeted with much enthusiasm when they were released, but they were excellent figs...

the double nothin did end up being a short run piece. most went to Historic and WM. i dont think many or any went to other retailers. so its a hard find.

Double Nuthin was primarily a Target release..

Same thing, different box. Yes, these showed briefly at Walmart, but they were primarily released thru Target and never sat on the shelves for long, atleast not in my AO..

yes i understand. i checked my notes from Chapman and they did get more than WM but historic also received 200
i picked up 4 cases from them and about a dozen at WM. but never was able to find any at Target. they sold fast. i have one for myself but wish i had hung on to a few more. great for trading

AMERICAN_GRENADIER · Post by **AMERICAN_GRENADIER** » Sun Jul 19, 2009 8:04 pm

if anyone is interested im able to get a few thru a friend. hes giving them to me just over wholesale. i can see what i can do?

ive received alot of messages
a forum memeber and i have already made a trade

my double nuthin was a pain in the ass to find around here. There are many targets, but only a few Super Targets between here and Alabama- only one of which showed the sku numbers in stock- but hell, that was still easier than a Mrs. Bonnie....
