BBI Paratroops re-release?

[trigger1]

I have noticed that some online stores are now carrying the new BBI Airborne troops. SmallJoes has most of their BBI figs as preorder right now(even the old ones). 3 TRU's in my area never restocked these after just 1 case of figures. Does this mean that BBI is going to start showing up in stores again??

I think that it is unlikely. These figures would appear to be surplus, probably from a canceled TRU order or a production overrun.

Thanks for the info corey.

i think most if not all bbi's figure lines are dead ducks now. Warriors of the world certainly seems to be, which is a real shame because they were beautiful figures and the future was bright with civil war, napoleonic, wwi planned....

Seems they just never caught on but there was very little retail exposure for them and they were expensive to buy over the internet with higher etailer prices, shipping costs etc.
