No prob snake :wink:

There's no chance I'd be able to get this due to rarity n overseas shipping price so will be just as happy if fellow members can score this

Incidently, all interested members here might wanna discuss/negotiate to minimise last minute sniping/jacking of price? LOL

Did the seller get second thoughts? Appears the item has ended a tad early, then relisted.

yes seems seller has change of heart or somebody offered him a good price, though I didnt see it relisted. Did he relist with a buy it now?

I have not been able to find it.
However Ebay search has been down until recently.

I did send the seller a question about it via Ebay.

Not sure if he will take the time to respond.

Thanks Stug45.

I think he changed his listing.
The first one was emphatic that it was NOT BBI.
This one lists it as BBI.

He probably had some questions,and realized he had listed it wrong.

DAMN.I liked the old listing better.

Sorry guys. I should have posted the link. Thanks Stug.
Snake you are probably right. original was listed incorrectly.
Good luck to any of you fellas bidding.

I think I get what you mean by preferring the old listing, with the mistake maybe less people are aware of it and better chance of lower bids.

Then again, he might have to edit/relist again if he realises its now corrected to "Ultamate Solder Blue Box Industries" :lol:

shhhh.... none the wiser

The seller contacted me about the Blue Angels.
He said he had it listed incorrectly,and relisted it correctly.Well almost correctly.

New listing (not mine), Jolly Rogers Hornet, looks to be in great condition

Still think this is one very cool scheme 8)

Blue Angels went for cheap.

Only $560.

So,I an the new proud owner of a BBI 1/18 MIB "Blue Angels". :D

Never thought that I would win it,as I refused to pay the "going rate"
Just got lucky with a great Ebay deal.

I put in my max bid[knowing that it would go far higher],and left for work.
Came home,and was shocked to see that I had won it,and for $560.

That is a great deal for a MIB "Blue Angel"

I finally have the missing piece in my F-18 collection. 8)

Damn, I really want a black bunny but I can shell out that much dough. I still dream of finding on in a remote TRU somewhere. Congrats on the Angel, it's a great bird.

Congrats Snake!

Man thats a pretty good price for BA considering past deals... what a streak you been having on ebay :D

So is that Blue Angel the final piece for a complete Hornet collection?

I would like to see pics of that Hornet collection before I believe any stories on the internetz. :roll:

Blue Angels and Jolly Rogers had a one time run of 500 units.
So did Red Devils,and Marauders.

There were two RAAF versions,of 250 each.

And yes gouchy,the Blue Angels was the last piece I needed to have the complete BBI F-18 collection.

Thanks for the heads up! :D

Sweet... a complete collection and then some! if I recall

pray tell you're not on the hunt for another 5 BAs to make the complete team? LoL

Glad it helped Snake but you've would have found the listing anyway :D

Yes pictures would be excellent, my crickety keyboard needs some drool lubrication :lol:
