Thanks Jon for picking up that Exclusive Titanium Lava Vader for me, and putting together a fair and equitable trade.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: TRU Exclusive Endor AT-AT
« on: September 5, 2006, 10:38 AM »
Saturday at noon I called up the Lancaster TRU and they said they had 11 AT-ATs and 7 Tie fighters. By the time I got there they were down to 6 AT-Ats and 5 Ties. I picked up a walker and 2 Ties. The manager said that they've been selling those consistantly.
Waiting for items to go on clearance here is a gamble, we still have Mon Mothmas here they're holding on to for regular price, yet you can get a 12" Bariss Offee for $12 and change. Over here if you want it, you better get it when you see it, because nothing is garunteed to stay. We only got one case of Hunt for Grievous BP months ago.

1) Battlestar Galactica (original and revisioned)
as a kid I always dreamed of owning a Viper that my figures could fit in.
2)Star Trek (all) the only reason this is not #1 is cuz I got a zillion of the Playmates line.
3) Robotech (all) including vehicles (1:18 scale Veritech, awesome!)
4) Ghost in the Shell SAC including vehicles. Walking tanks anyone?

Oh that was good!
Here's one; this morning I let Pat have 2 gunners for 5 bucks each.
It hurts! It hurts!

At 5 years old he was way to big to fit in it. I swear the suit is designed with toddlers in mind.

You're kidding, I bought a couple of those for 6 bucks each on clearance at Kay Bee during the great POTF 2 liquidation flood a couple of years back. My nephew wore one on Halloween. Poor kid.

« on: August 22, 2006, 10:50 AM »Definitely a good feature with the folding wings. I believe the Corsair had that as well
I just have a pile of planes and ZERO space anymore.
I have a nearly complete BBI Apache or Cobra, I forget which model chopper it is... It's fantastic.
Yep the wings fold, I have the two parked side by side.
Have you considered hanging them from the ceiling? I did this at my last house and saved lots of shelf space.
The Apache has tires and the Cobra has skids. You probably have an Apache, I don't recall BBI making a Cobra. On the other hand if they did it would be awesome, and I'd be very interested in it.

« on: August 21, 2006, 02:41 PM »Bearing in mind the Avenger is a BEAST of a plane... 3-seater, Torp... It's one of 21st's biggest projects
Yeah it was hard to find space for the Beast, luckily 21st included it's folding wing mechanism. That helped.
SWM Santa Clarita had 3 1:18 scale F4U Corsairs, Bunker Hill Squadron, yesterday.

Woah! Just picked up the Avenger at the Wal-Mart in East Palmdale and this plane is awesome! But at 70 bucks! Ouch! Looks like my kidney is goin' on e-bay.
If anyone spots 1:18 scale "Flying Tigers" Warhawk or AH-1 Supercobra please let me know. I have 2 kidneys after all.

Jon alerted me to the presence of 1:18 scale TBF Avengers at the SE WM Palmdale, which I picked up soon after, as well as wave 2 of the Galactica Titaniums, plus the B-wing and Tie Int. He even stashed them so they'd be there when I arrived. Later we hooked up and he promptly paid me for a set of WWII fighters I was able to pick up for him.

I've been a fan and collector of the 1:18 scale aircraft line since I found the first P-51 Mustang at TRU years ago. Since then I've picked up the ME 109, P-38 Lightning, Stuka, F4U Corsair, P-47 Thunderbolt, FW-190, Spitfire, Huey and F-104 Starfighter. I've been looking for the P-40 Warhawk "Flying Tigers" scheme, and AH-1 Supercobra but I've been told I'm outta luck. From BBI I've picked up the Apache, Blackhawk, Little Bird, Kiowa and Zero.
Keep an eye out at Wal-Mart for those TBM Avengers, I read that BadCat was screwed by 21st Century to Debut this plane.

« on: August 16, 2006, 11:22 AM ». I just wish they would come up with scale at-st's ans at-ats so it would be prefect. Oh and a falcon
If you think about it the Basic Line Falcon, AT-AT, AT-ST, Imp Shuttle and Royal Starship are actually scaled better to this line. I'd hate to open a can of worms but I'd be interested to see these things modified to work with this line.

You're not the first to complain. But to be honest I'm used to writing this way, and when I've tried to accomadate the complainers by single spacing, I lose focus.
I don't post very often, if that helps.
