I collect 21st Century Toys 1:32 scale aircraft. It's hard though, you really have to go to every Wal-Mart around (which ends up being around 6 total) every so often to hunt for new ones. It makes it difficult, but then again, it's worth it when you see a plane you've been looking for sitting there and you light up like Christmas. Anyway, does anyone else collect these? I find them really nice for $15 at Wal-Mart. Not perfect, but for me, it's absolutely great. I don't have much money, and I'm looking for a job, so it's hard to buy the more expensive brands for a little better detail. At the end of the day, I've had a few things break off, but that's what super glue is for, you hardly even know. Something else, would it be cheaper to just buy one online for $20 + $10 shipping, instead of driving around and wasting gas? It's double price but with gas prices these days, I don't know it might be cheaper, and I get what I want when I want. Currently I have two Ju-87B Stukas, one from the Balkans, 1941, and the other that's simple splinter green camoflauge from most of Europe. I also have two Me-109G-6s, and at the moment I can't remember the pilot's names, but they're fairly similar aircraft. I also have a Fw-190D which is known as Blue 12, and a Corsair from the Jolly Rogers squadron, Big Hog. I also collect armor from 21st Century and Forces of Valor. I have a King Tiger from 21st, and a Stug III Ausf. G and a M5A1 Stuart from FOV. I have my planes set up in formations on my ceiling, although I tried to keep my Corsair as far from the Luftwaffe as possible. If anyone wants to see pics, I'd be glad to show them!
I don't have any 21st Century, A/S - but I do have a number of 1/32 diecast Corgi aircraft, including Spitfires, Bf109Gs, P-51Ds and three Mosquitoes.... Sadly, these are no longer made by Corgi and prices on e-bay are moving ever upward....
I have an Me-109, Ju-87, P-51, and P-40 in 1/18 scale and really like them alot. The canopys move, the crew figures move, the guns and wheels move and the markings are good. I would buy more but they take up alot of room. The Ju-87 is huge. I have seen the 1/32 versions and I almost bought an F-104 but did not. I know what you mean on different aircraft being at different stores but I have also seen some at Toy R Us in the past. Welcome to the forums !
I've got all the 21' st century Fw190D ,one Me 262 & the RAF P51C coming over from the USA The new range of 21' st century armour very nice to & can't wait for my sherman firefly to turn up I've gone of FoV armour , but got a lot of there early stuff in the loft that i may sell of Dragon 1/35 king tiger range range look good to Problem i find is sticking to one scale in planes & armour
I'm hunting and hunting for the Dora Red 3, the red and white underpainted aircraft... that's the one I'm dying for. I want to just order it online, but I've got to wait a while. The RAF P-51C is a beauty, I'm just waiting for it to hit the retail stores! I need something to go on my ceiling against my 109s...
