From what I've seen, the Japanese sell quickly.

They sold quick at first but the second box put out is sitting at most walmarts - except for the ones I buy. The S1 and S2 Japanese figures were very hard to find. The OMG have also slowed down a bit in my area.

The WM in McDonough GA sold two planes - and have one supermarine spitfire left - new stuff comming soon I hope -
same place the RC 1;18 stuff just went down to $30.00. some walmarts in this area still have a lot of 1:18 RC at full price.

I've noticed one of these stores keeps adding to their collection - folk are probably buying them discount at other walmarts and returning them for full price refunds. -

I just came back from a local WM recon that just made my weekend!

1:18 scale F-104's, Sky Captain, 3 different Bf-109-G6's, Japanese figs, OMG figs. etc.

1:32 scale New thunderbolts, Ridge runner, new me-109E, and my personal favorites... ZEROs & MACCHIs

AM I the first! Just picked up a Avenger!

Hah made you look! The closest WM just got in the P-51D Ridge Runner!

They still have a few 190's sitting around and have yet to see any F104's F4u's or the tropical Stuka so the P-51 (4 of them are a complete surprise)

Makes you HAVE to stop by just to avoid any surprises.

P-51 Very Nice.

OOOh false claim of finding a Avenger will bring you bad luck in finding one when they do come out :wink:
Could not think of anything to put here.

If you're refering to the new 32x planes, I think they have shown up in Arizona, Utah, and the Pacific northwest. That far more immediate distribution than the tropical Stuka I found at WM a few weeks ago ever got :roll:

The Wal-Mart in Leigh Acres, FL has 2 Marine Flieger F-104's in undamaged boxes. They have one "Seeman" 109 G. Nothing in 1:32 planes.

The Wal-Mart in Clewiston, FL has 2 black 109's. Nothing in 1:32 planes.
One hundred and fifty three - 1:18 scale aircraft on the ceiling looks :shock: damn good!

Well, Yes.. But I am under the impression that if the new XD shows, the 32x stuff isn't too far behind..

I have seen the new Seeman 109s and German 104s here, but nothing since then and I don't want to miss out.. I am just trying to gauge how far away these are from me and it would seem they are west, and sweeping east.. :?

Went to a local walmart today, no 1/18th XD to speak of... one Fw-190. :? They did have about a dozen 32x Xtreme wings. 4 P-47's, 4 P-51's and 3 Me-109's wasps. The sticker on the 109 box reads Limited Edition paint scheme. Limited to 5000. :shock: The paint job on this 109 wasp is one of the best I've seen and for $15.00 what the hell.... Not to worry, I'm not going over to the dark side :wink:
I would like to see some new 1/18th armor..... :idea:

Sounds like the new repaints are making it across the country now. The new 32x planes (Macchi and Zero) may not be that far behind!

If/when anyone finds out please give us the case assortment. Let's just hope there are doubles on the US longcoats (the only new figures really) and as few BAR gunners as possible. My big problem with the US capes are the damn BAR pouches don't come off...between all the companies we have more BAR gunners than riflemen. :?

Hit the bremerton washington wal-mart.Had both paint jobs of the zero.Two green ones one greyish one.I was going to get one of each,really wanted the grey looking one but the front canopy piece was all fogged up like some one used too much glue and ruined the plane I felt. :( There was two of the italian plane but I am not interested in it upon seeing it up close.There was about four RC M113s down to thirty bucks and one panzer same price.One camo R.C hummer marked UP! to $79.00 (had been marked to $50 few weeks ago and obviously a return to boot)Rest of the stuff has been there for awhile.
