| Re: Finally adding a B-17 to my collection....??? So I get "909" today but not before catching all hell from the wife. Her: "Do you have to have that now?", Me: "Um yeah its getting harder and harder to find dear, which means it will cost more later". Shes a looker though I have one question. Every chin mount I've seen has the twin .50s pointing to the 12 o'clock, not 1 and 11 o'clock as on the model. The cheek .50s are cool, but I wish it had some waist ones mounted. And I'd rather have the on board crew like my Yankee Doodle than the individual figures. Still its a great plane and glad I have it. Now to fight the urge for BOL, MNR and the Strawberry Bitch if ever I can get that lucky. These big ones are kinda nice.  - Shawn | |||||||||||||

| Re: Finally adding a B-17 to my collection....??? Anyone noticed the photo on the MNR is a F model? But the box says it's a G model. So, what's in the box? F or G? Does it have a chin turret? | |||||||||||||

I've got MNR edkao and it's definitely a 100% "G" model. It's got the chin turrent and the enclosed waist gun positions. I love it! | ||||||||||||||

There's one off eBay right now. It will be interesting to know what the final bid outcome this may turn out to be? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..._promot_widget | |||||||||||||||

| Re: Finally adding a B-17 to my collection....??? Oh I get it. Someone posted this to show their wife.... "See, I really needed that plane, the price is going up and up, it's crazy. I made a very wise purchase!" This is a great idea guys. When one of us buys a plane we can set up a post like this, praising the guy that bought it. My wife will not listen to me telling what a good deal it is but she will listen to strangers. Somethings wrong with that, but who cares, it works.  | |||||||||||||

| Re: Finally adding a B-17 to my collection....??? Seriously though, it will be interesting to see how high BOL goes. I am glad I picked one up when I did.  | |||||||||||||

| Re: Finally adding a B-17 to my collection....???
Wow! Funny thing is, had to check the spreadsheet to see if I even owned it (do). Have four B-17s, three of which were bought on the cheap. Sure enough, the BOL was $79.99. If my Microsoft calculator is correct (remember the 3.1 calc?), that would be a profit of around 500%. My most expensive was Mount N' Ride at $99.99, but cheapest were Miss Minookie (the 8th Air Force set) for $39.99 (that's $13.33 per plane), and Yankee Doodle for $39.99. The $39.99 ones were from Tuesday Mornings (the TM finds thanks to heads-up warnings from members of the original MH forum). IMHO, though, Corgi is producing fewer and fewer big bombers each year to prevent these excessive price drops--which is good for them but bad for the bargain hunters...  | ||||||||||||||
