Corgi's 2nd Half Releases
This past week at 3000toys.com we have added all of Corgi's 2nd half releases, totaling in 15 new items added to our inventory! We've added planes, a few helicopters, WWII fighter planes, modern planes, and...well, you will just have to scroll down to find out more.
Among these new items is the Special Edition Westland Sea King, HRH Prince William Training Flight, SAR 2011 22 Sqn.
JAN - FEB ARRIVAL
Price $59.95
#AA33420
1/72 scale
Assigned to 22 Squadron on 15th April 2010, HRH Prince William had already undertaken service in both the Navy and the Army. Flying as a co-pilot, Prince William assists the search and rescue operations of the squadron. He has already undertaken a number of rescue missions and has proven to be a capable and dependable asset to the squadron.
He flies in a number of Sea Kings, including this one and completed his first rescue mission in October 2010, participating in a rescue of a man from an oil rig who suffered an apparent heart attack. The Sea King is a dependable and valuable asset to the United Kingdom’s Air Sea Rescue fleet. They not only rescue injured or stranded sailors, but also work in the mountainous regions of Wales, helping injured and lost climbers and hikers to safety. The squadrons base at RAF Valley were also heavily involved with the rescue of over 100 people from the Boscastle floods of 2004.
Another item to check out is the Limited Edition Westland Puma HC Mk.I, XW219, 230 Sqn, RAF Benson, November 2009.
FEB - MAR ARRIVAL
Price $56.95
#AA27001
1/72 scale
The Puma HC-1 is a twin engine medium sized transport and utility helicopter, filling a useful gap between the smaller Lynx and larger Chinook and Merlin fleets. Despite entering service in the early 1970s, the Pumas have not gone through the same various stages of development as other similar machines such as the Lynx, instead retaining their original designation of HC Mk.1. Along with the rest of the RAF’s Puma fleet at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, 230 Squadron has operated the Puma HC Mk.1 since the early 1970s.
Flying extensively over Northern Ireland, as well as brief detachments to the Balkans, 230 Squadron left the province in 2009 to move to its new home at RAF Benson. While in Northern Ireland the Pumas gave excellent service proving to be a reliable and capable transport helicopter.
Today, the Pumas assist in training exercises in the UK, but are at a state of readiness to depart to any theatre where they are needed. 230 Squadron’s emblem features a tiger, commemorating their service in Malaya, resulting in some interesting tiger motifs and schemes being applied to their aircraft.

Summer, Summer, Summer... and Prizes!
Hey guys, I hope you are enjoying your summer and surviving this heat all right, especially if you're in the South or Midwest. Just look at that map... wow...
Anyway, I have a few new things to tell you about, and I'll save the best for last... :)
So first, I realized the other day that there was no easy way to follow us here on the blog. I don't even know how you would have gone about doing it, because there was no link or anything to help you out. But kudos to Diesel for figuring it out anyway! To combat the problem, I've installed this cool little "follow us" app on the sidebar of this blog, letting you easily just click and follow - no more jumping through hidden hoops. Since this feature was not available until now (sorry!!), we only have one follower. I know there are more of you out there; so all you have to do is sign in with your Google account and click "Join this site." Thanks!!
Ok, here's the second piece of news I have for you: Summer Photo Contest!! I just launched it this afternoon on Facebook. Get over there and click on the "Summer Photo Contest" tab on the sidebar. And have fun!!

Flip the Swtich
Hobby Gear feels your pain and is here to help. 3000toys.com is happy to present these three stations, perfect for your garage layout or car diorama. Now you can lift your 1/24 scale replicas, and get closer than ever to an accurate pose of changing and balancing the tires. Truth be told, these stations are going to put the other 1/24 scale mechanics out of business.
I like all three, but the most impressive of the bunch is the battery operated replica 2-post Auto-lift (batteries not included). With only 3 AA batteries, you will be well on your way to raising and lowering your models with only the flip of a switch.
HOBBY GEAR - SB1003 - 1/24 Price = $29.95
Replica 2 Post Auto Lift - Battery Operated (battery not included)
And now the Tire Mounting Station and Tire Balancing Station:
HOBBY GEAR - 16070 - 1/24 Price = $5.95
Replica Tire Mounting Station
HOBBY GEAR - 16071 - 1/24 Price = $5.99
Replica Tire Balancing Station

The Duke
I've got a riddle for you: who is the man featured on four trucks by New-Ray and is also the key to the best Western movies ever?
The second question gave away the answer to the first, right? He's a movie star unlike any other, the embodiment of Western movies, a man that garnered the respect to earn both the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the handful of individuals to receive both honors. John Wayne is the quintessential tough-guy actor, a man who seemed he could hold his own if the scene were ever to become real.
His image fits well on the trailer of a long haul truck, giving credence to the idea that truck drivers are America's last cowboys. New-Ray has done a wonderful job of capturing his likeness on these 1/32 scale trailers and gives you four to choose from. 3000toys.com already has two in stock, the third scheduled to arrive next month, and the fourth to follow.
Take a look and pick your favorite, or grab the first three with plans to collect all four. Whichever your decision, buying one of these trucks is sure to increase your toughness at least tenfold.
NEW-RAY - 10413 - 1/32 Price = $34.95
John Wayne Series Long-Haul Truck and Trailer (1 of 4)
NEW-RAY - 10443 - 1/32 Price = $34.95
John Wayne Series Long-Hauler Truck and Trailer (3 of 4)
August - September Arrival
