The HellCat has landed in South Florida.

The West Palm Beach Toys "R" Us has one left as of last night. They were hidden in the overhead storage compartment.

Plenty of Daisy June corsairs and a few Donald Duck mustangs.

I guess the Bunker Hill Avenger will be available at Bad Cat first then other retailers next. If I remember correctly, this was supposed to be a BCA exclusive. I guess the deal with 21st fell apart.

Did bbi make an all black version of the black hawk?

I have always thought the series one black hawk (bbi item # 21184) was really dark green or olive in color but not black. The e-bay seller is stating it is black in color. Or is this really the s1 olive colored one? Not to be confused with the pave hawk s2 paint scheme (bbi item # 21279) which is a ...

Excellent news Zach! I guess the Merrill’s Marauders was a successful trial run. There is a TRU 3 minutes from my home and many more in my AO. Now I know that if a 21st item is shipped to TRU it WILL show in my neighborhood. No more east coast vs. west coast crap with Wal-Mart. Hurray! Excellent news!

I sure hope the Admiral team is not abandoning the 1:18 line.

Jason, could you chime in and let us fans know if the Admiral team is on heading and on course?

No details are necessary. Just let us know your still at the wheel and that 1:18 is not dead.

Excellent news! This means that bbi now has a greater incentive to manufacture more foreign aircraft. I believe Target does not have a ban on axis equipment like T.R.U. The zero has been out for a while now but has not shown at T.R.U. If it shows up at Target this could mean a more diverse selection...
