New X32 21st Airplane Repaints?
Hi Everyone,
I went to Walmart today and found new repaints of the x32 airplanes. Price was $14.98 at the S San Jose Wally. Have these been out before?
Me 262 yellow 7
P51 Big Beautiful Doll
Bf 109 tropical
They seem to be the same planes repainted in new boxes - 32xw xtreme wings.
Let me know if you want pictures.

Excellent find! These repaints have been seen at toyfairs, but now they're a reality - and about $5 cheaper than at the small retailers. How did the new ME-262 look? The old one, which I consider to be the best of the 32x planes, followed by the ME-109, was marked in rather plain fashion. I want to get ahold of that 32x Tropical 109, however!
The pictures on the box back don't entirely surprise me either. We have seen the 32x P-40 at toyfairs, and in one of his 21c recon phonecalls, Aferguson alerted us to the possibility of a 32x P-47 and FW-190! Should they soon release a 1:32 "Red 3" 190, that will go very well with either ME-262!
I'll have to check a WM when I go home on president's day weekend.

Yes, thanks for the pics!!
Rudolph Sinner's ME-262 does look alot better than the first issue. I can't wait for them to show up in Columbus.
I wonder if they'll do the Stuka? I would really love to have that one in 32X.
Maybe they'll make a 32X Corsair and do a 32X Zeke to "test market" it in a smaller size? One can only hope...

Does the ME-262 pilot still sit too low in the cockpit with his head barely polking over the side or has 21st corrected this minor error?
On my S1 ME-262, I corrected that by removing the pilots arms, slightly narrowing the figure, then regluing the arms so the figure didn't get in the way of the tab on the canopy. I also raised the seatback up a couple of millimeters so that it sat in the correct positon. You can sort of see the results here:

Question regarding stock location?
Just out of curiousity, where were these items stocked? I've noticed that recently our WM's starting stocking the XD at the ends of one of the diecast aisles, where as before they had typically been located on the RC item side of the aisle.
Thanks in advance,
Todd

I found 2 of each of these planes in Ruidoso,New Mexico this last week.All
six were in the clearance section($7.00).
Great deal, but I had to ship them home
because I could not carry them on the plane.The guy working in toys said they were a deleted item and they would not carry the item again.Another example of (off the truck and into clearance).
