Nice list

Well I broke down and bought Wolerine and Hulk a couple of weeks ago just because I was curious... I like the fact that they are close to 1:18 scale but they do need to be improved. No wrist rotation and the way some of the joints pop out makes limited posability...but the detail is there BUT the fa...

TRU raised prices on Corsair

Just wondering if other TRUs around the country have raised their prices on BBI aircraft? Went by my local TRU (Tustin) and saw the BBI corsair for $45 !!?? :? Is this due to the fact that online retailers have higher prices? Or they are trying to make some money on the X-mas crowd (since it used to...

S3 PanzerIV

I think the S3 (next U.S. version) release is going to be ambush pattern just like the Panther. (as showed at Comic Con)
I sure hope they hit here soon! We are already talking about the new tank being released next year! ? !

I think some of the board members here mentioned it might have to be high profile..which is true in a marketing sense..so a M1 would be logical.
