POST BBI KIOWA & S. HUMVEE FINDS AND DISCUSSION HERE
Saw four BBi Kiowas at Toys R Us today. Shelf sticker price of $19.99. If I wasn't trying to buy a RC copter, I would have snagged one. They look REALLY nice.
Wow
That's good news - if only because it came out of the blue so we may get other things out of the blue as well. $20 is crazy - may beat the LB in value at that price. Did you see the pilot?
Well
2 months early, no fan club email & no pre-orders anywhere - pretty out of the blue. Anyway, I'm happy - I'll take at least one

Like the obsessed idiot that I am, drove through a snowstorm to the closest TRU (15 minutes in good weather) to check. Nothing yet. The bbi area's still pretty well cleaned out.
I just checked BadCat and I see that the Kiowa and the Super Humvee have both been announced, but are not yet available for preorder. Between my son and me, we're good for 2 of each!

Anyone what type of mg/cannon is on the kiowa? best I can tell it is a cased m2hb with an aircooled vent.
btw, the new kiowa comes with 2 rocket pods, 2 stinger pods (2 per pod), and a port mounted cannon with ammo box. the figure appears to be the same that came with the littlebird.
it is a great helicopter and probably the best yet for the price.

.50
You're right - it's a .50 in there.
Question: can you take Hellfires from the Apache to arm the Kiowa? That would be a very nice touch...
Btw, go here for simple specs on the Kiowa:

I don't think the F-18 had a very wide distribution; too big and too expensive. I only saw it once at TRU in Chicago, and only then at one of the larger stores, and only right before Christmas.
Anyway I'm going out on Friday, hopefully they'll have the Kiowa in this week (they got the Super Humvee in last week).
