Wanted: Corgi 1/72 B-17 Memphis Belle

[dragon53]

Does anyone have a reasonably-priced Corgi 1/72 B-17 Memphis Belle for sale?

You could try looking at www.theflyingmule.com. They were having a sale on Corgi planes a week or so ago, but this might have ended. In that sale, most of the large Corgi bombers dropped in price to around $80, where they usually retail for $120 or more. The other option would be ebay as you can find excellent prices there from time to time. The Corgi "Memphis Belle" B-17 is a somewhat older release, dating from 2003 and I think it has been retired now.

TMANTHEGREAT:

Thanks for the info. Flyingmule was one of the first places I checked. The 1/72 Memphis Belle was discontinued a few months ago at $150. I just found out a week or so ago that the Memphis Belle's pilot was from North Carolina--I'm collecting NC-connected planes, so I'm too late for low-priced Memphis Belles.

Thanks for the links, but I've already seen them---most are 1/144, not 1/72 Memphis Belles, and/or they're sold out of 1/72.

Sorry dude, I will check out a few hobby shops in my area for you.
