Anyone know where the Gotz 109 can be picked up for a decent (read cheap) price so I can finish off the collection? I'm hoping to do that next month.

Corgi, please release Graf's 109!!!

The Gotz is on my list also. The cheapest I have found them is at Perry's. It costs $79.95. Of course, that's before they give you the "special" shipping rate. Unfortunately, sometimes Perrys is the only game in town and if you want it bad enough, you're going to pay. I think I need to work a trip that goes thru Portland.

I have more 1/32 109s than any other Corgi 1/32s. I also have 4 with one inbound. For me the best one is Gotz!

btw I like Red 6 even though it seems to be the least popular one.

Based on the polls here and on DAF the Black 8 is least popular with Red 6 being surprisingly popular. The DAF poll suggests that Ehrle is no. 1, Barkhorn 2nd, Hartmann 3rd with Red 6 forth. I'll have a look to see whether the poll here is still available. Generally there's always a slight difference in views across the pond.

I've unsuccessfully tried finding a 1/32 109 Poll here, sorry. I don't seem to be able to get the search engine activated so I've gone back manually a bit. One other thought, Hackl seems quite popular now and was released latest. Maybe a new poll is in order or the old can be resurrected.

Here's a thread that may further stimulate some interest.

Help: Anton Hackl or Gerhard Barkhorn?

For the love of the good Lord, is there any information on the working range Graf being released? Is this one that I'll have to continue to speculate how nice it could have been?

Black 8 is my least favorite (even though I still like it, but if I had to give one up, that would be the one).
