Small Scale Military Headquarters

damn, you're so talented!

um, I got money! I'm gonna put that towards my budget for all 1:18 stuff

i don't see this as being great news in itself. The good news in this is that BBI is clearly becoming more interested in 1/18, which may lead to an increasing flow of new product from them. Their store prices will be high, as they won't want to compete with their online etailers and shipping costs ...

i'm curious to see what's this is about.

when i look at my room full of planes and other models, i say it's never enough...it needs more!!!!

what a christmas miracle! at least for the guy who bought it...

i got myself both the ejection seat and the pilot before the seller sold it as a discounted set. should've seen it coming when he was going to sell it cheaper. they are both really meticulously painted, though I still think bbi stuff was good. i really think the pilot was probably worth getting. unf...

i just keep with the original since i'm too lazy, although everytime i look at my birds i often wonder what cooler colors i could paint them with

i would most definitely get this =D

f18 is going to be 2012's bundle, i just know it.

seeing that they have a compiled wishlist on their facebook page, wouldn't they be making things based on popular requests? obviously, they wouldn't be making models that are in low demand.

i think there's going to be more than a pair of tubes...there has to be

for me, I keep the boxes. I just fold them up and put them in storage warehouse where I luckily can share the costs with the fam.

there are other stores selling a bit cheaper than 170

just went onto aviatornut's site and saw they are selling it for 99.88.

on ebay, it's $89.99 with $20 shipping. And that's the cheapest I've seen so far

Does anyone know any great (and maybe reasonably priced) online stores that have a wide variety of WWII birds in-stock? I'm not looking for any particular plane just yet.

although bbi set their heli price very high, i noticed that the retailers are getting competitive on the prices. badcat may be offering 169.99, but i found a online store called booming island offering 139.99 last month. it's too bad that they slowly raising their pre-order pricing by $10 each month.

i finally caved- in and bought the pilot and the ejection seat. they fit perfectly in my f16 and both are very well made. before, i was kinda worried that the seat might not fit. i don't regret it. here are some of my own pics. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-B1xBneYK5Fk/ToZHKuETM2I/AAAAAAAAAAo/J...

a friend of mine already got his and it's flawless like MG said. i really like how bbi design their new boxes, lately. it's pretty slick.

i'm not much into wwII models, but this plane is getting to me. argh, must resist the temptation!

yeah, i'm going with unsealed

I found this F16 pilot and ejection seat on ebay. Apparently it's made from a manufacture called Form Hobbies. The seller told me that the seat should fit perfect for my newest F16 Enduring Freedom from bbi. I never really heard much about this manufacturer, so i'm wondering if anyone got their hand...

Hi everyone! I finally found this thread where I can properly introduce myself. :lol: I"m Rick from Colorado. I just actually moved here recently from New York. I have been collecting 1:6 and 1:18 military models and figures. Unfortunately, my collection isn't here with me in my new home since I hav...

i am with you on that.

i really cannot wait to hear what other birds bbi is going to put out.

i'm new to the hobby and so the latest price from bbi doesn't seem to be a shocker to me. but after reading everyone's posts on what prices were like back then, i'm like wow and i wish that i gotten into this long time ago. i guess the reason for these prices is that it's just the sign of the times.
