Yes, any Hellcat news would be great.

Hi and welcome back Mike,

Will BBI continue to expand its 1/18 line after the Hellcat? There seems to be no mention of anything else after it. Best.

more like an interrogation I'd say.

yes I do know exactly, and real cheap is the best answer, I know the pricing but sometimes retailers can change things so you will best wait and see
yes

they are not exclusives

for scope uk
by the way we do have a new UK distributor now...hope he can get his act together and do it right for you guys...at least he is the interested type"

Mike you just made my year, are you allowed to say who the UK distributor will be and when they will be selling the stuff over here.

Thanks for the replies to my other questions.

Hey Mike, great to have you back. Can you give us the status of the 1/6 line for the rest of the year, particular the Perfect Bodies and Cy Girls?

Mike,

1-Is an A-10 more likely in 1/32 than in 1/18?

2-Are retailers like TRU/Target interested in the 1/32 aircraft line rather than the 1/18 line? Are they supporting the 1/32 aircraft more?

3-Are there more planes than the Phantom and Dauntless planned for the first 1/32 plane assortment?

4-How far along is the 1/32 Phantom in regards to tooling? Is it done?

5-Will the 1/32 line hit soon?

6-Will the 1/32 line have the high durability that BBI products are known to have?>

7-Were the Phantom/Dauntless shown on the boxes@toyfair indicative of the prototype mold, or were they just model kit placeholder images?

Waiting to see 1/32 aircraft info

MightyMustang · Post by **MightyMustang** » Fri May 11, 2007 10:20 am

If mike is talking about June being the release month for the F6F then thats good enough for me.

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Fri May 11, 2007 11:41 am

Yes, I sure hope we see the Hellcat in June.

Thank you Mike and yes June is a nice month

Hi mike thanks for the info! i don't suppose you know any other info on Gargoyle Dist do you? do you know where they will be selling these items?
Once again this is great news for me can't wait to see BBI locally!!

for bluesparrow...status?...what is it you would like to know...there will be more Perfect Bodies and a new one and new Cy Girls

Mike, thanks for the reply. That is what I was asking about, any idea when we'll hear more about the new Cy Girls and a new PB(other than the repaints)?

Also is the Goth line continuing? I liked the first two releases.

Morian Miner · Post by **Morian Miner** » Sat May 12, 2007 5:28 pm

Mike,

Just a simple clear-up. Has BBi ever considered doing a true 1/18 Hind, or was this just a fandom rumor?

Has BBi considered enemy combatants/foreign adversaries for the Elite Force lines, or will it mainly stay US and allies?

And if a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much would he chuck?

VMF115 · Post by **VMF115** » Sun May 13, 2007 12:21 am

Mike do you have any updated pics of the hellcat that we can see?

As per Plato on this subject. An egg is a potantional chicken, a chicken is an actual chicken. Therefore the chicken came first.

Mike when are we going to see new pics of the hellcat?

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Sun May 13, 2007 8:38 pm

Yes Mike, please give us some updated pictures of the Hellcat. Thanks.

Shin Densetsu · Post by **Shin Densetsu** » Sun May 13, 2007 9:16 pm

Mike are retailers providing strong support for the 1/32 aircraft?

(I am very excited, as I love the quality/durability inherent within BBI products, and of course the thought of buying affordable 1/32 jets at retail)

Ooooo, good answer, Chunks.

You try not to read too much into these comments, but boy does Mike leave the door open on some of these things.

Thanks Mike! Everyone's excited about new Cy Girls and PBs.
