Good luck in CA! In 1:32, across a number of central California Wal Marts that I have visited within the past month, there seemed to be a predominance of the "Winter" Bf-109Fs, and varying assortments of the 1:48 vehicles, 1:48 Bf-109s, and the 1:144 planes. You might also find other paintschemes of the 32x Bf-109F/G. If you're really lucky, you may come across some of the carded playsets, figures, or a "Tar Heel Hal" P-47. My area has gotten in all of the above, save the carded playsets & figures.
In 1:18, I've seen a bunch of the new F-104s, the new D-Day figures, and the occasional Huff F-86. I've not seen any of the Migs. I'm not sure whether or not the Pearl Harbor P-40s have shown up in the west yet. Quite frankly, your stores in Texas probably have as good of a selection, if not better

FoV new figures
Found the new German prisoner set at Target, Glen Burnie, MD, the Crain Hwy store. The figures are just as good as reported. If the others had been this good, I would have multiple sets. Also new were two Stuarts.
There were some others that have been hanging around for a while including a 1/72 Tiger. I guess the local market is saturated for some of the stuff.

I saw both the Mustangs here in California (see the other thread). None are left in the store where I got them, thoug I doubt it will be long before they are all over like the "winter" Bf-109Fs.warhawker wrote:I am starting to notice on Evil-bay the Polish Mustang, the Longtom cannon and a couple of other sets out. The would mean that our WMs may/should start seeing them!

Yes, both schemes come in one case: 2 "RAF Polish" P-51Cs and 2 "Bald Eagle" P-51Bs. I have seen a partial caseload at one local Wal Mart and a full one at anotherC-7A Caribou wrote:My uncle found one of the polish P-51's at the Coldwater MI Walmart. It was the only 32X P-51 that was left. I'm waiting for the bald eagle P-51. Does it appear that both schemes come in one case?

Found more 32x P-51B/Cs at two more Wal Marts in my area. Again, it is the S1& S2 assortment with the USAAF "Bald Eagle" and RAF P-51s. That makes 4 out of the seven store in my area that have gotten in the new aircraft
No sign of the new playsets, but there's still a couple of stores to check.
Other "new" 21c finds included the 1:48 P-40N.

Thanks Tman. These must be pretty popular because that's 4 aircraft sold. It wasn't that long since I'd been their and all they had new was the german halftrack and truck.C-7A Caribou wrote:
