I said to myself, "here's a guy needs help, send him some pics of nice WC51's, and he can hold out and overcome that dreaded 'buy it now' button"............but then I figured that would only make things worse.

I've got the same problem - these vehicles have been reported elsewhere in my state, but none are to be found in the stores in my area. Its quite frustrating, but I'll have to wait it out. Don't go for the ebay option as you'll probably pay too much. Try the trader forum on this site.

The new trucks just showed up at two stores in my area today, so I will again advise to wait. These may ultimately see a wide distribution... They should be in your area (hopefully) before two long!

I was doing the same with the japanese marines - sooo.. easy to push....buy...it...now....need water....

but today I found all of them -plus the market garden figures!

Now I'm out of 21st century money for a month.

Yes - hold out! I was surprised to see them in two of the stores around here so far, including one that usually lags months behind on releases.
