Found 2 winter Stukas. Are they getting real hard to find?

Post by hotrodrock » Sat Feb 11, 2006 4:02 pm

Found two winter Stukas in a local Wal-Mart (boxes totally destroyed). Looked on ebay under several searches and could find only 3 1/18 Stukas. Are the Stukas really that hard to find and whats the going price for them once they leave WM. Or is it just that no one wants them now?

Your best bet to find out "what's hot" is to simply visit E-Bay and see what people are paying for them. Rarity is subjective and changes from day to day.....

Still at retail, $39.95. WM's around here hardly ever put planes on their clearance isle. The boxes can be torn to shreds and they still will not discount them.

I haven't seen winter Stukas at a TRU or Walmart in over 2 years, $39.95 is well worth it.

Winter Stuka

I agree with Normandy - a deal at $40.

2 waves of Winter Stukas sold out so I would say it is A) pretty popular & B) not coming again anytime soon.

Post by MG-42 » Sun Feb 12, 2006 7:17 am

Yeah,...I got lucky on mine for $40.00 MIB, + no shipping either,..from a fellow "Board" member. ...Try finding the "CoBRA<><><>>sNaKe" at that price,..it's totally "rare". I was also lucky,..and found a "loose" one, off the AviatorNut for $40.00, + a MIB one, I won off "evilBaY" just recently, for $42.53 + shipping. Now yer talk'n, a "steal of a deal" !

One day I will find a snake Stuka for $40.00..
:D
Or any Stuka for that mater -

we have a few planes in my area with destroyed boxes - one "zipper" has a broken canopy (could be fixed) the box is held together with mangled sinew - I actually found tape and placed the baggie with the helmet back inside the box. Someone rubbed the hair off the pilots head -so he has a bald spot.

yet still $39.99 -

Man, that's retarded!

I could never keep those Stukas in stock. The idea of having to sell one for $15 is total alien to me?!
