here is their response:
Dear Sir,



Thank you for your message. For the 1:18 Paratrooper series, its release will be in around August 2005 tentatively.

Regarding your comment on our website, your message will be passed to the relevant department for their consideration.

it seems like BBI doesn't have anything new to sell on the 1/18 scale line until Aug. 2005.
