Nothing yet, but bbi was a no-show at Toy Fair so its possible they have something planned and we just don't know about it yet.

I am also interested to know about the time table on the F-86 and Mig 15. Are these planes going to be made or is this just an unconfirmed rumor?

Regarding BBi, weren't they MIA at last years big show to? if so, maybe thats a good sign, seeing as they've released soo much in the past year, maybe we'll be pleasantly suprised with some new modern Aircraft??

Keeping fingers crossed

A harrier GR7 & AV-8B & also a Osprey would make me very happy :D

Though a "Wokka Wokka" (Chinook helo) also would be great for a new helo :D

Both the MiG 15 and F-86 are confirmed for this year and will be released after the F-104 and Avenger.

F-86 & MIG

These Jets are confirmed but I think after the Avenger the next plane will be the P-51 from what was shown at TF. Since that's a summer release I would say don't expect the above jets until 4Q '05 or 1Q '06.

i forgot about the P-51....not an overly exciting release to me.

Well, last time i spoke to Roy he said all the jets, including the ME-262 were slated for the first half of '05. Given that it's april and we've seen noda i think that's pretty unlikely but i would expect them this summer.

I'm very much looking forward to the Sabre and Mig....they'll make a nice change of pace from WWII and are rich with history. Since they're both basically experimental German WWII jet designs there are some interesting customization possibilities too..

I agree with pushing for an A-10 Warthog. Reading the posts here, it seems to be an aircraft that many agree on wanting. I hope BBI is listening.
