Small Scale Military Headquarters

MG-42:

Two questions about the FOV Sherman:

1. Is $19.99 the regular price or "clearance" price?
2. Can you post a review and photos of it?...(if you bought it)

The $8.64 dual packs is for 2 figures and not 2 planes...correct?

RAZOR17019:

I thought all the lower FOV prices were "clearance" prices---including the LAV bought by STUKA. If that's true, then if STUKA got his money back, can the rest of us who paid full price also get our money back?

Hopefully, STUKA can clarify to us how he got his money back.

KILLERF6: I've seen the 21st Century P-47s online . When I was a kid, I had a neat Revell 1/72 P-47D that had the same paint scheme as 21st Century's "Eileen"---green with the checkered nose. From what I've read, Eileen had paint flaws...and probably other flaws, too, based on my experience with the...

DIGGER:

I hope you're right that Target isn't dropping BBI. I still want a Target F-16.

VMF214:

Thanks for the info.

That sounds bad for 1/32 F-4 repaints and entirely new 1/18 planes.

BBI has US WWII fighter planes well-covered with repaints of the P-51, F4U and F6F already released. That leaves the P-47---I would love to see a 1/18 Gabreski P-47D.

OLIFANT: I'm curious about Target and BBI. On Target.com, BBI figures aren't on sale, but the Donald Duck P-51 and Abrams tank are on sale. If Target is trying to get rid of BBI, I would think they would have all the BBI stuff on sale. If Target isn't dropping BBI, I hope they more F-16s in. I think...

Two questions about new BBI planes:

1. How often does BBI release entirely new planes and repaints?
2. Is there a particular time of year when new stuff and repaints are released?

OLIFANT:

I'd like to accept your invitation, but isn't "Havana virgins" an oxymoron?

I would prefer a 1/32 BBI F-4 because a 1/18 would be too big. I saw on Badcat's site that a BBI F-4J customer review said he wanted a USAF version of the BBI F-4, too. I assume Badcat is getting more requests like that one and would pass it on to BBI. I think Badcat probably has clout with BBI. As ...

WIESLAW:

Rita says "Happy New Year"...

I once read an interview with Rita Wilson, Mrs. Tom Hanks, in which she said when Hanks was a kid, he was a model airplane maniac. Since most model maniacs don't really outgrow it and now that he's a multi-millionaire and still a World War II maniac, I wonder what type of replicas he might have. Sin...

STUKA: You posted that you bought an LAV for full price and found the LAVs on sale a few days later, so you went back to Target and got the difference in price back. What are Target's rules for getting the price difference back? I got my FOV Abrams at full price after Thanksgiving and they were $9 c...

GOOGLYDOOGLY: I haven't seen SAVING PRIVATE RYAN in awhile, but I assume the Tiger is aconverted T-34 like in KELLY'S HEROES and BAND OF BROTHERS. Since there are no Tigers left, they make the best of what they can get---a passable Tiger/T-34---which is a heckuva lot better than the German M-48 Patt...

I found one FOV Tiger at a Houston Target. They also had about six Bradleys and no Abrams. The Tiger looked like toyish so I didn't buy it.

They had about a dozen BBI Hummers, one LAV, other vehicles and no BBI Abrams.

SABREFAN:

I'd like to see BBI do a 1/32 F-15C from Desert Storm with one Iraqi kill painted on the side...and an operational F-22.

I'd said this before, but I hope BBI releases a 1/32 Steve Ritchie F-4D and beats 21st Century to the punch. A 1/18 F-4 is too big.

OLIFANT: I know. I was kidding, too. But like I posted earlier, the Cat Mouth owner comment from Badcat put the fear of god in me about the wings. I do like to hold my planes up and look at them. When I did that with my Big Beautiful Doll, it rattled and wobbled. But my BBI Donald Duck is sturdy. Wi...

SABREFAN:

I'd settle for a plague of BBI 1/32 F-4 repaints, an F-15, an F-22...(I hope BBI reads these posts).

POPEYE357:

I was looking at the F-16 at Target.com, but they sold out, but I did get a BBI P-51 from Target.com for $34 delivered.

ALLOYSKULL: Be careful what you wish for....ALIENS VS PREDATOR was a disappointment and did poorly at the box office: ALIEN VS PREDATOR (2004) Budget---est. $45 million First weekend USA gross---$38.3 million First 3 months USA gross---$80.2 million ALIENS VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM (2007) Budget---unknow...

It appears if I DON'T buy the Cat Mouth, I will suffer a plague of locusts...

MIG29K:

ALF VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM

POPEYE357:

Look closely and you'll see the movie's military experts even have zimmerit on the Tigers.

SABREFAN: Thanks for the help. As a kid, I had 1/48 models of the Hellcat (Monogram, Aurora) and thought the Hellcat was a handsome plane, but not as sleek as the P-51. So the Hellcat isn't a "must-have" like the F-4 and P-51. I hope BBI F-4 repaints and 1/32 F-15, F-22 aren't too far away--they wou...

SABREFAN:

Do you like the Cat Mouth more than your F-4J?
If so, why?

(My favorite plane is the F-4. Second is the P-51).
