Well, I can safely say from all the info that comes into the Pitt group, your WM is probably the busiest, in the probably busiest area of the city, and your area is filled with the most ebayer/scalper activity (Cranberry probably a close 2nd I'd guess). 21st stuff's as scalpable as anything...
Some WM's just don't get jack in though... Route 8 gets figures but no vehicles. Kittanning seems to do well... The WM in Delmont has zero XD on the pegs in 1:18 though, just other scales. No vehicles, no figures and they're slow to restock. I avoid the Greensburg one at all costs.
The Mills one that is 3 minutes from my gf's place I hit often. They vary in terms of what they get, but figures tend to come in steadily. The current glut that's getting blown out was a pallette of stuff that came in right after Christmas, I'm guessing from just the stockroom, and I'm guessing it was stuff there before CHristmas that they felt they couldn't devote shelf space to or it got lost in the shuffle... Now things are getting cleared at $8 a piece for the $20 vehicles, and $35 Avengers... Lots of stuff but not "the norm" by any means, just a fluke.
For the price of a SW vehicle though you can't pass up to-scale halftracks jeeps and cannons though, haha.
Yeah though, definitely not the normal way things work... WM almost has an exclusive deal on XD... They don't have rights to it, but they're the only retailer taking the chance on carrying large ticket World War 2 items like that, and so they seemingly do with it as they please. They dedicate very little space and if things back up they're quick to clearance XD it seems. Why I do not know.
Avengers were non-existant in Pitt and now they're all half price. I never saw the new halftracks or Pak 40 at full price anywhere either and I'd gladly have paid $20 for any of those. I wouldn't have gotten an Avenger because planes aren't my thing, but $35 for the biggest WW2 plane they've made (ever) since the P-38 Lightning? Yeah I'll take one.
At $8 the HT's are blowing out and the US one is all gone already. The PAK's are soon to be gone too (partly thanks to me). The German HT's are lingering a bit longer but still a steal at that price.
We have 2 full pegs of D-Day too with smattering of Japanese mixed in.
Nirvana, are you accumulating extra accessories from these figures? Extra heads too perhaps (especially the Japanese stuff)? I'm curious and would like to see if you're selling anything like rifles and such. I need extra stuff to outfit some of my collection and I know you use these for custom SW stuff and the parts may not mean as much, especially the WW2 era rifles and whatnot.
I'm interested in buying some of it off you if you do have anything.
