Small Scale Military Headquarters

Can you ask when are the big riding toys for kids coming out?
Havent heard about them since the toy fair earlier this year.
Cant wait for the kids to have a ball with these!!

Yep,

Just received mine and it is blue dragon. Definitely going back.
Gambled and lost

Hey Aferg,

you were saying?

Received mine over the weekend and I am impressed. Wheels
aren't as strong as 21st but everything else is extremely nice.
Looking forward to see what else BBI has for us in the future.
Looks promising!

ordered mine on Saturday and tracking shows it should be here Wednesday. I'll post whether or not it is the Black Hornet when I receive it. (sure hope so)

Found the BBi paratroopers at Huntsville, AL toysrus today. Found the the halftracks, german halftracks and japanese figs at a Walmart next to Six Flags in Georgia over the weekend but not here locally in Huntsville. Found the BOB and Patton figs at the newest Walmart off of Memorial parkway north. ...

Just orderd both of the new BBI Mustangs. Dont really need them but lack of 21st product has me chompin' at the bit for something new. I'm in the same boat as you P51. I have planes hanging everywhere and boxes stacked to the ceiling. Why oh Why did I start this hobby

Also, shouldn't we be hearing something from Area 21?
I thought they were supposed to be tied in with 21st and keeping us informed of such things as these delays. Oh well, I guess my money can make a few more months of interest.

dont know if it is possible or not, but would be great if you could post a pic.
Thanks for the info!

I agree. I keep checking the web retailers hoping I will be surprised by something, but no luck. Not exactly excited by the upcoming repaints (Sahara and Sky Captain). The new Star Wars movie has me excited enough to collect the figures again so that has kept me busy for now. Hopefully this summer w...

Not 109 related but figured this was the best thread to mention Bad Cat posted new info for the pre-order aircraft from 21st Century. F-104 this summer?

"They don't fly to well when you throw them"...

LOL!!!

Appreciate all the great info Teamski and Digger! With regards to the Avenger, I just read on BadCat's site that it has been delayed until at least May but probably DEC 05. Is that what the folks at 21st's booth were saying too?

Thanks again,

Andy

figures.com has posted more detailed pics of the Avenger for those who want to see. Click on "21st" even though picture count says 1.

I am really hoping BBI and 21st have some surprises in store for us before the show is over. I only count 3 new aircraft (two of which aren't close to being finished, and only one new piece of armor, if you call adding skirts and paint to an existing piece,"new". The 1:18 Mustang they have on displa...

Nice figs but was sure hoping to see some new aircraft or armor.
Some folks here mentioned a Hind. Was there a rumor of them producing
one. I sure missed that one.

I believe it is worth it only because I dont think you'll ever see any other company produce it at 1:18 scale. Although, be very picky and careful when you choose one. Ive found many have loose or broken parts. not sure if they used cheap glue or what, but out of 5 that were in one of my area stores...

David,

SKU# from the box is 21105 21415.

I just picked one up at Texarkana, TX ToysRUs. Havent taken it out of the box yet but looks good enough to go pick up one more for the price ($19.99)

Wow, I had forgotten about the 880's. We still had a few in my unit
when I first came in the Army and I remember some of the mechanics in my section had old MOPAR vehicles so they could swipe parts from the motorpool!

Thanks Mach3

Also, does anyone remember the M2 Bradley 1/6 scale coming out in 2000 at Toyrus? Did it sell for 270.00? Seems awfully steep and I see one on ebay where he said he paid that much. Sure would like 21st
to come out with that one again. (at Walmart).

TTT,

Thanks for the link. Excellent review and pics. Now I have one more site to visit daily

Mach3plus,

check out this link. Is this what you saw at Walmart?

Thanks for the info!

Hallelujah!!!! I cant beleive the troop carrier is now upon us!!!
I had to order all three vehicles just to beleive it! I was wondering if
I would see more pictures at this year's New York Toy show of a troop truck with no delivery in sight. What has it been, three years???
