Hello Blackblast,
I'm leaving in the french part of Switzerland, about 200 Kilometers from Zürich. I'm sorry to have to tell you that I think you'll find no store for 1/18 stuff in Switzerland. Of course, they are many stores where you can find 1/18 die cast cars, but nothing like military (BBI, 21st Century, Powerteam Elite...). A lot of toy stores closed in the last decades with the rise of Amazon and eBay (even the one in which I bought my first Blackhawk). It's so dramatic that all the 1/18 military stuff I bought is since years coming from the USA and some from chinese sellers on eBay. When I tried to sell some surplus, I only found buyers out of Switzerland, so I have to think that I'm a kind of survivor of a disappeared species, nothing good for stores. There is one (eBay) seller located between Geneva and France, selling a few 1/18 BBI figures on eBay, nothing exciting...
But of course if somebody else has an address in my country that I did'nt found, I'd be very happy!

I do not really know stores selling the older 21st., BBI stuff here in Germany.
But I do know that I sell many models in order of a heiress. I´m 270 Km away from Konstanz and unfortunatelly from 07.03 on for 3 weeks on rehab and not at home.
But if you are for all that interested in planes, tanks, halftracks, helis and figures--> Let me know. Maybe we can work out something special.
For photos please sent PM

Crazy Kraut and Granch,
Thanks for your answer, all this makes me sad, but the good thing is we can support each other.
I was very enthusiastic about getting some nice items, but ebay seems to be the place, badly those guys from Ebay dont sell items to Chile.
(Crazy Kraut, PM on the way)
Thanks again guys,
Jorge
