I guess that amounts to about $139.08 here in the United States? If someone could double-check this conversion of currency; would sincerely appreciate it.

So a distributor in Europe can commit to sell the minimum quantity required by BBI (I forgot what that estimate was from a while back, but it was in the thousands), and not a distributor in the US like MTS?

Interesting.

Who's got a link to this mystery European etailer?

Boy that looks good. Will they ever make it to the US?

Isn't it a little ironic that we are wondering if the "United States Airforce" flight demonstration team markings are going to make it to US retailers?

For once it's our turn ! while you enjoy so many good deals in the US (for exemple : the Big Monkey depotr sale is not intersting for me because for 2 x 30 $ planes they charge me 130 US $ of shipping !!!!!!!!!!!! to France)

So this time we will be served first ! and sure it's funny to have a US product "star" in Europe first

What a bummer, I really was looking forward to the BBI Thunderbird F-16.

snake · Post by **snake** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:22 pm

That is too bad.I was also really looking forward to picking up some of these.
If they had made them,they could have sold a ton of them.
If BBI had seen what their F-16's and F-18's are going for these days on Ebay,they could sell them at a higher price,and still sell out.
There must be a financial reason for it,but I personally do not understand.
Hopefully they will produce some more F-16's and F-18's in the future.
I will be waiting in anticipation.
