WHAT DO YOU THINK IS NEXT FROM BBI IN MODERN

Post by aferguson » Mon Nov 22, 2004 2:17 pm

Well. Now that we've had some great intel from 21c, i was wondering what their arch rivals :lol: (BBI) may be planning. Info on BBI releases is very difficult to come by. The only good thing about them is that when you do hear of something new, it usually is for sale within a couple of months or less (like the sherman and mustangs were).

I think that we are likely to see some great new WW2 stuff from them but i'm wondering about the future of their modern line.

Please enter your choice.

A USMC Harrier would be nice. A Tomcat would be huge but very cool!

Well, the poll should be what aircraft is next from bbi since aircraft are the only choices, but in the end this is more of a wish-list than a betting man's poll, right?

I did not comment on the zero poll b/c aircraft is not my bag so I had no right swaying the results, but I would buy an A-10 in a heartbeat. It is more for the land guys anyway really....no dog fights in those bad boys.

As was mentioned, bbi is not afraid to produce a large plane and charge a large price. Imagine what 21C could do with a $90 plane like the F-16? Unspeakable frankly....I would have to start collecting planes. However, since it is bbi's current domain (huge modern jets) I would hope they hear us out and release the A-10.

I'd love to see a Harrier as well... but my hope is for a Tomcat! That would be massive, and awesome.

I would hope for either a Tomcat or an F-15. The Tomcat would be awesome, and though it would probably retail for $120, I would definitely get it!! Just think of all the functions, armament options and a big, two-person cockpit!

A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!A-10!

Did I mention an A-10? That would be a beauty.

Even though it's not specifically noted in the poll:

**F-4 Phantom**

I don't really care if 21st or BBI makes it, just that it gets done!

This isn't supposed to be a wish list thread. It's an opinion poll of what people really and truly believe will be released next in the modern line by BBI. I didn't put in any armour because i dont think there will be any, save perhaps repaints.

If i'm wrong, well, then groovalicious.

OK, that's fine. I guess the checkbox in the poll for 'other' prompted my response.

Next release beyond the Kiowa? My guess is the A-10. At least I hope.

A-10

Post by Quixote511 » Tue Nov 23, 2004 2:13 pm

If bbi visits, as the used to do, they should hear us loud and clear. They know what we want them to make in WWII aircraft (cough cough ZERO! cough cough). And just the same, they should know what we want in our modern aircraft. They managed to beat 21st to he punch on producing modern aircraft, which is not to say that I don't think a 21st version of some of the bbi aircraft would not sell too (a la it looks like the bbi P-51 is head and shoulders better than 21st's). But, look at the Little Bird. There is no way 21st could compete with that chopper. bbi has a chance to pick up some major sales ground if they can beat 21st in making a killer 1/18 A-10. It seems to be the most logical next step.

I think an A-10 is going to be awesome as soon as they make one,
also that harrier would be really cool too.

I don't collect modern stuff, only WWII. So, I voted for the popular A-10 so we can move on. :roll:
