Good question. I think right now its 30% off, so maybe its part of the green tag clearance sale? If thats the case then it should remain at this price until the end of the year, or maybe even drop lower. If/when they actually get the Black Skull version, though, it might be at the regular price sinc...

Is there any way some of 21c's great ground armor and artillery (88mm) which have been brought out in 1/32 could be scaled up to 1/18 or 1/6 :?: I'd also like to know if they have any plans to do this. Surely they have a pantograph? And are there any more playsets in the works, or will any of the u...

Yeah, even if its not something you see mentioned much here, I think its safe to assume that just about any aircraft that 21st Century hasn't made yet would be well received by the board :wink:

Well, yesterday it was the Corsair and today it was the Paras! I had a feeling they probably got them in together, but since the reset they've crammed all the bbi figs onto a sidecap and I was afraid they wouldn't put them out because there was no room. And I was partially right, as today it looked ...

Very cool, aferg! Thanks to you and Mike Murphy for opening up a line of dialogue of any kind with bbi. I'm very glad to hear that the modern aircraft sold well, hopefully that means they'll continue to make more; its how I got into 1:18 in the first place. And its also nice to hear that more WWII p...

New Build-A-Rama on ebay

Saw this while doing a general 1:18 search on ebay:

1:18 scale 2 story building

Pretty cool, I think this was on display at SDCC, no? Its shown in two different colors, and the description makes mention of a series of buildings, so perhaps there are more to come?

Got mine the other day, and must say I'm pleasantly surprised!

It comes with a lot of accessories, too; a pack of gas cans, 2 ammo boxes, a shovel ...

bbi at SDCC? What the heck are these?

Hey guys, I've read in a few reports that bbi was a virtual no-show (again), but I found these over at TNI and I don't know what to make of them? Can anyone confirm/deny that these were on display? Take a look:

German mech?

Another mech

Russian mech?

and then theres this one:

Tiger 1

I would probably buy at least one of each, but I doubt you could convince the manufacturers to produce them, they'd just cost too much, I would think.
