POST ALL BBI TARGET/TRU ETC FINDS HERE
Cool
That paint scheme looks very nice. Too much bare metal on all the Stangs up till now (IMO). Also great to see it at TRU! BBI is back in stores, hopefully that shipment came with something NEW!
Btw, here is another plane that was just not worth pre-ordering despite what the retailers would have you think. Here it is a month earlier and at 30% less...
EDIT - While on topic, there is one set of WotW still on sale, with each figure coming out to just over $1. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... nce&s=toys

I don't know why the companies are afraid to mold a P-51 B!pokeyjtc wrote:Bud Anderson flew two Mustangs, a P-51B, then a P-51D that started out painted in the OD green over gray before being stripped to bare metal.

I found the "Old Crow" Mustang Saturday at the Overland Park Ks, TRU. I was pleasantly suprised as I hadn't been aware of these. I had spent all day checking Walmarts for the new 21st Mustang with no luck. I also noticed the "Marine Dream"(?) Corsair at another TRU was priced at $44.99 while the Mustang was $39.99. Finally I saw a possible rerelease of the M4A3w 105mm Sherman. The tank itself appears the same but the box color is different.

TRU in Tulsa
The Woodland TRU has the Old Crow P-51s at $39.99 and the Corsair for $44.99..

yep they are here too..
Yep found 1 "Old Crow" here in SoCal TRU also..that was a weird find as I have heard nothing of this.
Nice of BBI to keep its fans informed ...or maybe I just haven't been reading about BBI for a while.
Also they put out 4 or 5 black Kiowas. Are those new or just an old restock I wonder, cuz I don't remember seeing black Kiowas before.

black kiowa
Hey scope uk,
I cant remember what came with the od Kiowa as mine is buried in one of my boxes in the garage...but here is a pic of the black one in TRU. Hope you can make out what is in it.
Has this thing been out before?...Am I reporting old news?...
Sorry if I am...

Thanks for the picks Markecho that was really fast!!! Well it's news to me i havn't seen anyone else post picks of a black kiowa here or anywhere. I am intrigued by the SFOR (wasn't this the force that was set up for Bosnia?) on the side i wonder if we will be getting other items like this. I would love to see a woodland m-1,lav and super humvee and new figs lets hope!! thanks again for the pictures they look really cool i have the green one but think i might have to get the Black one too!!!

That's it. SFOR is for Stabilisation Force. It was created to deter hostility and hopefully provide peace in the Bosnia and Herzegovina area. Maybe we'll see more 1/18 modern aircraft that were involved in this conflict from bbi, like the Harrier or the A-10 Warthog with a paint scheme from the 81st FS (the Panthers) like this....scope uk wrote:Thanks for the picks Markecho that was really fast!!!

Cool
Awesome, awesome paint scheme. Dead on accurate (I am looking for a pic with that tail code but it is out there I'm sure), and damn cool in black. This is a must have for me at $20. Total steal IMO.
The two Kiowa paint schemes have been so good - makes you wonder about the Corsair. The only thing holding me back on what is described as an excellent rendition of the F4 is those damn Air Show paint schemes. Still waiting for a warbird.

Pictures?
Bare arms and a tattoo huh? Now that's cool.
BBI's winning some dough from me and I'm strapped right now...
Been a while with anything good to talk about... 21st's hit the wall here, so no BotB Series two to be found... But new BBI just when I'm stopping at TRU more often sounds just dandy.
Thanks for the heads up guys.
