You might want to add the S1 XD Bf-109E (White 12) and the S1 P-51 (Lou IV). While not as rare as the Spinach Cammo Bf-109, and not going for what they used to on ebay, they are TRU-only releases back from 2000-2001 and thus far have not been duplicated or re-released by 21c. Many of the newer collectors (not me) do not have them.

The S1 Green, S2 Winter, and S3 Snake Stukas have all been re-released by 21c at some point to Wal Mart and the small retailers after being initially sold exclusively at TRU.

not the white 12 - very easily available and pretty cheap.
nor the desert 109 - may still even be available online with some looking.

Is there not a one of a kind Mustang a member has? If you count TT I guess you could count that too..
What about some P-38s? Perhaps even the S1 104..

the Korean Corsair may be somewhat rare but i don't know that it fetches much on ebay.

Of production planes, i think the 'spinach' camo 109 is probably the rarest, aside from Tender Terror, which isn't truly a production plane since it was a special edition, never sold at retail.

The rarest bird of all is the one off, hand painted P-51 given out at Toy Fair a couple of years ago.

The BBI Blackhawk S1 is pretty hard and expensive to get.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Of the P-38s the Samantha Payton may not be the rarest, but it brings the highest price. Over $100 then the Haleanka and the one with the shark mouth bringing up a close third. The white 12 does not bring a high price and back in the day when Small Blue Planet was around I think they had those desert camos for $19 at a special price. :wink:

What about the Winter Stuka? I haven't seen many of them around.

Sort of rare, but not as rare as they could be :wink:

These were at many TRUs back in 2002 and later went to many Wal Marts (though of course, not every one) in 2004.

Although not rare, what seems to be fetching good prices now are the cobra copters.

Tender Terror ranks up there with rare. I think the rarest would be the one that was givin away at one of the toy shows. It was the Mustang painted up by Roy Sutherland. Now thats a rare Mustang. Only one made in the world. Now thats one Mustang I sure would like to have, can you imagin what the dollar figure would be for that one if it got sold?. Big bucks!!

The Europe-only FW190 Black 14 is pretty rare I think?

And, even though it's still available, I'm guessing there weren't a huge number of the P51 Bunnie planes made since it was specially commissioned by Historic Aviation.

Any prototypes that are made in 1:18 in my book are rare.

The Royal Navy corsair would be somewhat rare - at least in 1:18. (There is a 32x version readily avaliable...) They did go to many TRUs back in the day, but they were sort of on the tail end of the aircraft releases at that store, so there were not as many of them. It would sort of be like the "Korean" Corsair.

I guess anything sold in Toys R Us would be rare before the big switch to Wal-Mart. Except for the first issue 109. Maybe the green stuka as well . They were re-issued at W-M. :D
