BBI to make 1:18 P-40?
BBI to make 1:18 P-40?
I was on the Toys R Us web site yesterday and they have a BBI P-40 in 1:18 scale listed. It said it was not available yet. Anybody know if this is true or is this old news and I am just behind the curve?

Yeah, we talked about that a while ago in another thread. It was noted that the SKU# was the same for the P-51, so it is a typo..... It would be cool to see a corrected canopy, though...

XD at Target
This was a surprise: http://www.target.com/gp/browse.html/60 ... e=13939151
Not great prices but good for distribution. Maybe one day we'll get it on the shelves of Target too (doubt it).
Hopefully Target.com will clear it out eventually and we can cash in.....![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Wow!!! Did you guys know the Huey was originally called a P-40 and was from World war 2? I have a lot more respect for the chopper now! (He he, Kidding)

Interesting stuff. If BBI is making a Corsair then perhaps that Zero won't be far behind.
Target carrying XD is wild, even if it is online only; guess this stuff is too big for them to devote shelf space to in-store. Makes me realize just how scattered 1:18 distribution is, though:
Wal-Mart carries XD in-store but not online; doesn't carry bbi
Target carries XD online but not in-store; doesn't carry bbi
TRU carries XD online but not in-store; carries bbi in-store and online
KB carries XD online but not in-store; doesn't carry bbi
I really wish other stores besides TRU would carry bbi; seems kinda weird that they're the only ones

Re: XD at Target
I don't think we'll see these in stores.. Under each product it says "web only".. But Target could still clearance them, I guess...Teamski wrote:Now that IS news!!!! Wow, Target carrying 21st stuff.
