There is going to be a movie about the Yamato? Is it a real movie or more of that sci-fi crap that has been going on for years?

For the week of November 26, 2006
Now that we are at the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, it is time to think about the upcoming Christmas holiday season. With this is mind we feature a higher cost item, obviously a gift for someone special, and a lower priced item, that you might buy for yourself with the little scratch that you have left after getting the more expensive selection.
We'll start big with our AFVs. From Great Models for "merely" $445.70 you can load up on this: Tamiya TAM36206 1/16 TAM36206 Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank Category: Armor Models 1/16 A giant display model of 688mm long of the modern MBT, Leopard 2A6. This is a fully detailed model. Tamiya provided large stainless PE mesh set for the turret bastles and radiator grills and metal chains for the smoke discharger caps. Take the first step to empty your bank account or move toward maxing our your credit card by clicking here: http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcar...m_num=TAM36206 If you have $9.99 left, you can think about getting yourself a 21st Century 1:32 scale German Sdkfz 7 from Diecast Direct. See it ready to take on a field gun and a heavy weapons team here: http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_mod...ode=TW20320-S1 It's time to go airborne and for our first selection include your money belt with you flight suit. Well maybe at $69.95 for a 1:32 scale Corgi Sea Hurricane from 3000toys it's not that bad. Decide for yourself and go to the next link below, if you are interested. Hawker Sea Hurricane 1B - No. 880 SQ. Fleet Air Arm, HMS Indomitable, Indian Ocean MSRP $120.00 Restoration started in earnest in February 1986, and led to the first flight of the world's only Sea Hurricane 1B in the hands of pilot Andy Sephton on September 16, 1995. http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/item...d=CORGIAA35504 OK you're almost broke, but if you can still find $14.95 in the sofa cushions and your change jar, maybe you will want to send it to Great Models for: Dragon Wings DRW50116 1/72 DRW50116 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback 'The Turnip Termites' Category: Pre-Painted Aircraft Models 1/72 47th Fighter Squadron, 15th FG. Features: Removable Weapons, Detailed Cockpits, Opening Canopies, Moving Wing Flaps, Pre-assembled and Display In Flight or In Landing Mode. Jan. '05 You can get it here: http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcart/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=DRW50116

For the week of December 3, 2006
We'll start high and fast with your choice of three Corgi 1:32 scale BF109-Gs from DieCast Direct for the holiday friendly price of $78.95 a pop. Check each of them out by clicking the links below:
http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_mod...uctCode=C34901 http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_mod...uctCode=C34902 http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_mod...uctCode=C34905 In fact if you buy two, you can get the third one free. If you want a 1:32 scale German fighter, but the 109's are too rich for your holiday budget, can you afford one for $19.95? If so, you can opt for a 21st Century FW-109D-9, and Diecast Direct will still give you a buy two and get one free deal. See the long nose here: http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_mod...ode=TW13296-S1 It's now time for the landlubbers, and for you we will start with a 1:35 scale Minichamps M60 A1 US tank. Diecast Direct has only one left at their price of $79.95. If you are interested, jump on it ASAP by clicking: http://www.diecastdirect.com/asp_mod...tCode=MIN41100 We can't have all of our picks in one week be from the same vendor, especially when they won't let us show pictures of our selections from their web site. So our last selection is Tower Hobbies and is a 1:32 Forces of Valor M4A3 UK Sherman at $17.99. You can check it out at the two links that follow: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...93p?&C=VCP&P=1 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LR9199&P=1
