As usual, great info coming from bbi on these..though they do look awesome, especially the jump-ready guys (of course). Weapons look amazing.

Those new figures look awesome!!!! That's a hefty price to pay for a newly released figure, but since they're the only ones available on the site for the moment, I can understand the high price.

They are out:

Foxhole is a member here, not sure he will want to say where he got 'em as it could hurt business but I would hope we will know soon enough. I hope these are everywhere, not to "HTF."

I wonder where they're showing... My guess is in limited numbers at Target. I recently found the 3rd wave of figures and a new "Cobra Legions" figure pack from the 25th Anniversary GI Joe lineup at a Target store in my area and the 2nd wave of those same figures has just barely come out. There may be some early holiday restocks going on...

I agree with you, Digger, in hoping that these are not HTF and get the coverage that the previous wave of BBI modern soldiers did

Spotted the new paras at a TRU in Northern, CA. They look awesome!

Hope they ship in good numbers too. Fantastic looking figures that I'm happy to drop $5 on! $20 though + shipping? Hah... Not so much.

Hope we see these in abundance soon though! I can't wait to buy some new BBI guys. Now, if they'd only get some more WW2 out to us, eh Dig?

TRU it is - this is good news. I have one in my AO though I hope I will not have to wait the requisite 2 weeks for the east coast migration.

JJ, couldn't agree more about some WWII guys. There is one new guy out but of course he has a jump harness on...

Good to know its TRU

Now, will mine get them anytime soon? Probably not

digger · Post by **digger** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 6:49 am

If you see the new guys and realize there are some (any) that have not been disclosed here please help with the recon. You don't need to offer from for trade to report them!

A Britt figure?
I expected it to be holding a camera!

digger · Post by **digger** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 8:07 am

I guess that is what the store buyers want. To us it seems absurd that so many great bbi figs are so limited by the parachute, but we have to keep in mind that we don't place the orders with the companies...the store buyers do.

It does seem the jump-ready guys are always the peg warmers, I really don't get it..maybe they know we will but them anyway and the average kid who is just picking up one or two may want the working chute? It also allows for a higher price point..

if bbi follows their history they will probably release a british paratrooper(s) without chute and harness as well.

Hopefully. They have the weapons tooled, so there is some of the work. I would also love some British regs..

They never did release a fig like yours (Ferguson) without the chute, nor the other modern guy. The new Spec Ops paras look so cool but again are so limited.

This is really good news!!!
Finally the "Bridge Too Far"
hopefully TRU will have them soon.

I think we all can count on finding these new items at TRU more so than at WM when they were the primary retailer for XD. Agreed?

I REALLY wish they would do away with the parachutes. I hope to see a lot more of the British Paras, though, that's for sure!!
