Hmm, this is not what I have heard from other BBI sources. But, OK, when will we be seeing the Zeke in TRU, Mike?

dare I say it ?..... "wait and see"
The Zero info was just a tickle to give you some confidence in my bona fides...I will give you all an image of the production model in a few days, but I will also stick to my initial mantra of not releasing any info before our own schedule.
I am happy to answer your questions and help out where I can but I will use "wait and see" when ever it suits me to do so

Even if you and 75th Ranger and Mighty Mustang threaten more physical violence upon me."

Mike,

I expect this to be another "wait and see" or "no idea" - will the sale of TRU to the investment group finally get rid of this silly German embargo so we maybe can see some BBi german equipment (like a pak40)?

Can you tell us what version of the Zeke you guys are coming out with? Also do you have anything else in the lines of foreign stuff coming anytime soon? You can answer yes or no on that. It doesn't have to be what is coming. Thanks

I don't think that I am at all able to respond to questions on behalf of the new owners of TRU since I am not in their employ...shall I say?

"wait and see"

for momaw nadon

Once again staying true to my original mantra I will answer "wait and see" to all your enquiries.

It is much more fun than a "yes or no".

For all those with an interest in the Black Hornet.

Sorry for the TRU stuff up on this...we have new stocks shipping September so it will be there well before Christmas.
Should be nice either in your stocking or under the tree...or perhaps hanging above it in place of the mistletoe?"

Mike:

Here is the link to the AUS version of the black hawk. Scroll down to the third item.

http://www.mibglobal.com.au/category434_2.htm

This is the same website where I purchases the 2 AUS hornets.

Link has changed. New link http://www.mibglobal.com.au/category434_3.htm

I hope we'll see another Modern Jet before Christmas from BBI or at least soon.

Hi Mike

I would like to know what does the future look like for BBI's 1/18 figures? Im one of those other people that is not much into planes so where does that leave me and the other non-plane people? Here is hoping that there will be annoucement for some new WWII figures soon.

Regarding modern planes, anything from Korea and up it is consider modern...

History includes events of 50 plus years....anything else even though is past it is still consider recent events.

So yeah, bring your F-4!

Ranger
have you seen some of Trumpeters 1/16 R/C tanks?
i'm a 1/6 tank person ( have a 1/6 Tiger that is in works) but a bunch of my buddys and i are thinking about 1/16 for my backyard battles
we have taken 2 1/2 acres in my back yard for our battles.
there is 6 local guys in our club and instead of one $1,000. tank each,
we can have 10 $100. tanks from Trumpeter and more fun
one of our guys is working on a 6mm paintball cannon for his tank
later

KAGNEW,

that idea sounds really good, wish, i was close by so that i could join you guys in battle...

please post al inkt to those 1/16 $100 tanks,

thanks.

I sure hope our bbi friend Mike is absent because of good weather and is just out aviating around AUS. I sure appreciate having a bbi contact on this board.

I hope he did not catch any flak about the BadCat/bbi Zero announcement.

Heck... There is a website in AUS with a presale for the Zero already. Been up since the beginning of the week.

http://www.mibglobal.com.au/category434_1.htm Third item down.

Keep making those planes bbi!

Birddog · Post by **Birddog** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 9:57 am

Yeah. Wonder where Mike is? Haven't heard much from him since he announced the release of the Zero.

Post by **aferguson** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 10:13 am

maybe someone at 21c had him rubbed out. Or maybe Ranger finally caught up with him...

Or maybe he can't keep giving us the personal attention that he has been doing....spoiled us.

I'm sure he'll be along when he gets a chance..

MIKE?????

WAIT & SEE....that is mainly all that he has said so far, and the Zero announcement kind of knock some of the Badcat's surprise and presentation.....so to me there is really no new stuff.....

Why can bbi say somewthing concrete!!!1

Mike, seems like the "wait aand see" phrase is getting kind of old!!!

It maybe that you really don't know!
At least 21st has a regularly updated site and the fan club president keep us up to date with information...but you instead don't want to or are not entitle to share information with us on a regular basis plus your website is not even updated as of this morning.....so get with the ball, because we really like the bbi products!

thanks.

Ranger your kidding right? Mike has been good enough to come on this website and keep us in the mix so to speak on whats going on at BBI and you fire this at him? Maybe Mike DONT want to let the cat out of the bag on whats coming next and it keeps us guessing. Whats wrong with that? Maybe Mike dont want to put his neck or bbi's neck on the line because of the fact that if the items dont get released on time they will get flak over it like 21st has gotton so many times!!!! Mike and bbi dont have to share crap with us but Mike again was good enough to come on here and share the Zero info with us and this is the thanks he gets? You say the "wait and see" thing is getting old? Not for me it isnt because it keeps me wondering and guessing and I like that. We all should thank Mike for coming on here and answering some of our questions and I appreciate it very much unlike some others on here.

To those reading this sorry for the rant but I dont like someone flaming Mike for no reason at all because its uncalled for. I guess thats gratitude for ya. But for me I say thanks to Mike and I hope he stops by more often!

75th Ranger · Post by **75th Ranger** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 12:57 pm

MightyMustang,
buddy, you are entitle to your opinion and i'm to mine.
I see your point and make sense but i would like more info...
I guess a coin can always be seen from both sides.
I respect your opinion and still consider you a great guy.
but my position stays where i drew the line in the previous post.
Hopefully you can respect my opinion too!

thanks & take care.

I agree with Mustang. Let's go easy on BBI. Remember, our rants and flames don't make any of the production lines go any faster. Despite Mike's reservations on certain things, I have appreciated the candid remarks on much more than we have gotten in the past. October seems a reasonable time to wait for something that was just let out of the bag last week!
