Re: New 1/18 BBI Gunboat, with Two new Figures ( Target)
how many new figures are coming out? The picture of the back of the boat box has me very excited!!!!!
Re: New 1/18 BBI Gunboat, with Two new Figures ( Target)
Thank you, Skorzeny!
The special warfare gunboat is probably as all new BBI stuff underscaled, but usable. Interesting, it has this RQ-11B with a launching ramp on the boat, and it should really fly? The one I made with brass doesn't... Hope we will see that soon somewhere. But the small 1-man Zodiac with a mounted MG is ridiculous.

Well, thinking about the size of this gunboat... the drawing on the box shows 6 men on board. So I guess it will not float... Was my experience with the PTE Riverine Patrol Boat, full loaded, it turned upside down, dropping 5 of 7 BBI figures into the river flood

This looks interesting... At least comparable to the PTE boat. I doubt it floats, but still it looks cool. I'll have to get out to Target a little later today to see if anything new has shown up. Last I was there, it was all restocks of the items from last year.

I saw the black Delta Force and tan Armored Assault vehicles at a local Target today.
If at first you don't succeed...GIVE UP!

Looking at the ACC figure packed in with the boat it looks like he actually has more detail than the sample carded figure. If you look at the gear on his chest in the sample it is all a shade of yellow, whereas the pack-in figure has more detailed paint-aps. Promising for the detail on the rest of the group.
Re: New 1/18 BBI Gunboat, with Two new Figures ( Target)
Well, really underscaled... could be better with 1/32 figures and weapons!
Aviatornut, you showed us the PTE one, also underscaled, here's the real one:

It may be underscaled, but I'm used to that with collecting G.I. Joe stuff. I'll get it. It'll go nice with the other PTE and Joe boats I have.

Re: 1/18 - New BBI Stuff - Target
While I like the idea of being able to slingshot a parachuting figure into the air (so they can then parachute down) when I look at the rest of these items like the littlebird helicopter and desert buggy, I can't help looking at my old BBI examples that were properly scaled models of the real vehicles. Makes me sad in a way...

If I was modern Military collector I would buy only , for the figures .

Re: 1/18 - New BBI Stuff - Target ( clearance !)
Saw that the BBI figures were discounted today... Only thing is I have a ton of these (and their older & better incarnations) already!

Re: 1/18 - New BBI Stuff - Target ( clearance !)
I see the Boat was discounted to $10 online but sold out. It is a really fun little piece and while undersized it is surprisingly detailed. The two figures are pretty cool too - a steal at $10.
Re: 1/18 - New BBI Stuff - Target ( clearance !)
I went to the four nearest Targets yesterday looking for the clearance stuff. Two had the individual figures half off, one had them at $3.48. The last store didn't have any of them on clearance.
Re: 1/18 - New BBI Stuff - Target ( clearance !)
Not wanting to start a new thread as I'm not sure if this is news, but the low budget line at TRU has a ton of "new" stuff out, some of which looks actually new. There is a new large Hydrofoil like Boat as well as a large truck, the smaller SEAL Boat, and some other re-hash.
