Not mine - too expensive for me but I know these are in HIGH demand so price might be within expected range: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BBI-ELITE-FORCE ... 2a1789a20a

Wow. That's high. You can still find them around.

[derek_001]

yeah i would much rather go to TRU and get one for a fraction of that price.

[bigsarge]

so what TRU is it that you can still get these?I haven't seen them anywhere but online...

[derek_001]

OKC and Amarillo TX only ones i go to and i see them at bolth

[bigsarge]

All I can say is if you see them then you'd better grab them up.

[derek_001]

well ive been goin through money issues so thats why i dont already have one...

Derek I can only speak from my experience and in the five years I lived in OKC and traveled through Amarillo four to five times a year, all three stores in those locations usually had less than the TrU's in other cities. For example, the Quail Springs store was usually hit and miss because it's in a higher income area and has higher sales volume. I rarely found any XD there, even at the height of XD. Crossroads has always been a poorly stocked store, and with the airbase nearby what military items they had sold quickly. The Amarillo store off I40 always carried a good selection, but I hadn't seen any XD there in at least two years.

I haven't been to OKC/Amarillo in over a year, and as far as I know the TrU's there are now filled with 21st, bbi, and other series. But unless I see some evidence of the XD you say is filling the shelves, I'll have to rely on my experience.

I have seen these BBI 1/32 Phantoms go for $225, MIB on several occasions. So this one is not that that out of line for what they go for.

I have one displayed, and keeping one MIB, for the future.

BBI would be foolish not to release some more 1/32 F-4's, IMO.

[ketelone]

I haven't checked a TRU in a while because they have had nothing. I'll start checking again. There has been a TRU in my area that closed it's doors.

[ketelone]

I went to 2 TRU's today. No BBI and no Phantoms. When I asked about BBI products, the TRU associate had no idea what I was talking about. Anybody else have any luck? I did see a C-130 Hercules gunship on display though. Very cool.
