Is this not a new scheme? And it is dirt cheap with free shipping..

yes, looks like new tail markings. Better grab them while you can at that price!

That's a fantastic price! I'll bet they'll be sold out within a couple hours.

That is a great price. This is going to be an expensive Christmas season!

WOOOO-HOOO!
Missed 'em last time, but not again.
Just placed my order for one of those bad boys.
Thanks Digger, you are officially THE MAN.

Happy day

Excellent price for the BBI F-16

I will be curious if those of you who ordered one get the regular "Wolf Pack" plane or something new... I'm going to stick with the plane I have

Thank you digger for the excellent find

Not wanting to be a sceptic but.....

After looking at the image above, it would appear (to me) that all the markings on this model are decals, including those for the re-fueling stipes.

But that may just be because this is a protoype for a new scheme. For your sakes I hope that I am wrong.

This is actually the very first F-16 paint scheme initially proposed by BBI. Our original sample was the MJ Falcon but they ended-up substituting for the more popular Wolfpack F-16 when actual full-scale production occurred about three years ago. So my guess is either:

1. Target is displaying an old, old photograph and are really selling the Wolfpack, not knowing there is a difference.

OR

2. BBI made a special run of the MJ scheme for Target.

Snagged one. Decided it would be a good investment even if I don't keep it for myself. Using Razor's coupon code (thanks Razor)

it ran me $56.69 total, for some reason they charged me tax of $2.70

Thanks for the heads up. I've put off getting one of these for forever, but with that price, I finally decided it was time to pick one up. We'll see what shows up.

For those of you who set up an account (of course you need to in order to buy) did any of you see a 'log out' button after you purchased? Or are we perpetually logged into this thing?

ostketten · Post by **ostketten** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 6:13 am

Anybody know where Target's distribution center is located,

I'm still curious why they charged me sales tax on the order, that usually only happens when the sale occurs within your state of residence.

vmf214 · Post by **vmf214** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 6:53 am

I just ordered on as well. They charged me a little taxage as well. Not sure what's up with that unless it's shipping from a location within our own state?????

Anyway at that price who cares I guess. Hope it's the MJ scheme, if not guess will make a Tiger Meet plane out of it.

I didn't see a logout button on the website either. I guess when you clic out of the website, it logs you off. I'll be keeping a close watch on the credit card I used to pay for this plane as a precaution.

JohnLumley · Post by **JohnLumley** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 9:56 am

If there is a Target retail store in your state you get nailed for the sales tax.

I know.... it sucks.

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 2:23 pm

That bites considering the web site clearly states that this item is not carried in their stores. I ordered some anyway.

My bank card still shows a charge from when I ordered one and I have a UPS tracking number. It was scanned in Dallas and is on its way for delivery Tuesday the 13th. If you go to yourorder site, there is a link about taxes. Target charges taxes for all but a few states. It is not that uncommon. Both Columbia and BMG music club charge taxes as do most book clubs.

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 8:27 pm

Bad news guys. I ordered 4 F-16s. They were waiting for me when I came home today. All wolf packs. Still they are a steal at this price.

Had a feeling that would be the case, just like the black F-18's last year that turned out to be the standard vanilla Golden Dragons birds. Still, great price though.

ostketten · Post by **ostketten** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:57 am

Received mine today... it's the Wolfpack version, no biggie, I really did not care one way or the other. I have never had any version of this model previously (Planes are not my primary gig) but I was amazed at the size of this thing...it's GINORMOUS!!

Dunno if these are still available but I may grab another if they are, and just put it away for a rainy day.

A very impressive model if I do say so, and this is a real compliment coming from a die hard ground pounder like me.
