I guess that amounts to about $139.08 here in the United States? If someone could double-check this conversion of currency; would sincerely appreciate it.

So a distributor in Europe can commit to sell the minimum quantity required by BBI (I forgot what that estimate was from a while back, but it was in the thousands), and not a distributor in the US like MTS?
Interesting.
Who's got a link to this mystery European etailer?

Boy that looks good. Will they ever make it to the US?
Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:47 pm
Isn't it a little ironic that we are wondering if the "United States Airforce" flight demonstration team markings are going to make it to US retailers? 
for once !!!!

For once it's our turn ! while you enjoy so many good deals in the US (for exemple : the Big Monkey depotr sale is not intersting for me because for 2 x 30 $ planes they charge me 130 US $ of shipping !!!!!!!!!!!! to France)
So this time we will be served first ! and sure it's funny to have a US product "star" in Europe first

What a bummer, I really was looking forward to the BBI Thunderbird F-16.
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:22 pm
That is too bad.I was also really looking forward to picking up some of these.
If they had made them,they could have sold a ton of them.
If BBI had seen what their F-16's and F-18's are going for these days on Ebay,they could sell them at a higher price,and still sell out.
There must be a financial reason for it,but I personally do not understand.
Hopefully they will produce some more F-16's and F-18's in the future.
I will be waiting in anticipation.
