Long Island Report
Old Country Road - More S3 Russian Migs.
Uniondale/N.Jerusalem - Tiger and Silver Starfighters, the old NF 109's, and Huff Sabres.
I was in 1 more Walmart, but I dont know the "LI Jargon" for it. It's on exit 27N, then the first exit on that road. They had a lot of the new Starfighters, and MS Sabres.
Massepequa Walmart has no 1/18 at all, neither does the new one near Republic Airport.
Figures are more or less unchanged in all Walmarts.
I bought the new silver Starfighter, I really like it, it has a very nice paint job. It's actually my first duplicate of any plane, I bought the Luftwaffe Starfighter as my first plane, and have been killing myself for a long time that I missed out on the S1 Starfighter, well now I finally have a Silver one![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
If someone finds the new P-40's, please tell me.

Local Northern Kentucky recon shows the Big Beautiful Dolls are in town along with the Huff F-86 and the Tiger F 104. All of these planes can be found at the Florence store. I snagged a BBD and must say it’s a great looking bird. I love the clear canopy.
On a side note I also noticed a 32x Winter ME-109. This was obviously a returned item. It looked like the owner tried to “customize” the winter paint scheme by dry brushing on more white. They did such a bad job on it they decided to return it. What a waist.![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Found both F-104s, PH P-40s, and Old Crow and BBD. I already have all of the planes except for BBD.
I was going to buy the BBD but the paint jobs on the 4 they had were unacceptable. Fuzzy checkers, lots of smudges and fingerprints, red outlines that are a bit too pinkish, and black that wasn't really black enough.
I'm not terrribly nit picky and I accept that most 18th planes have some flaws because they are toys, but these were really bad.
I'll wait until I find a better batch.

Visited a WM I don't normally go to today. They had six Big Beautiful Dolls, two Old Crows, both Pearl Harbo P-40's and the Canadian Tiger Meet F-104. I was very suprised because this store never has any XD. The BBD's looked fantastic, it is the first time I've seen one in person and I was tempted but I really don't have the room. ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

same here - one store In LoveJoy GA - outside Atlanta - has the most planes I have seen in a long time - this store had a ton of 190's when they first opened probably from other stores - and they just went missing one day - probably in back - but from no planes to a few Migs (few months back) many Migs (last month) and now 4 chinese Migs, 2 Russian Migs, 2 pearl Harbor warhawks, 4 tiger strip 104s, 4 silver 104's and now 4 old crows. Another store did the same thing and pit two of their 104's on clearance for 39.77 - instead of 39.97.

Damn! My local Wal mart that has been getting in the 1:18 stuff just got in 4 Chinese Mig-15s. I think they're slowly cycling this stuff through: first the F-104s, then the Huff F-86s, then the F-104s again, and now the Migs. At this rate, perhaps I'll see the BBDs and PH P-40s by September?

FYI Renton, WA Wallymart recon
At the Renton, WA Wally today 6/26/2007, found;
Couple "tiger striped" Mig-15's, couple Dragon Huff F86's, a BBD P51, and F104. Plus about 4 of the Special Ed Pearl Harbor P40s.
Most 1/18th A/C I've seen in a Wally in a LONG time.
