Mike,

Do you know when the 1/18 Scale Zero in the green paint scheme is coming out?

Don't know if this is appropriate, but Mike, do you have any authority to speak of 1/6 stuff? I've been thinking of beginning to collect that scale and I've been looking at BBi's Cy Girl line, and heard that you guys have a new 1/12 line coming out called Gothic. Any idea on when these will come out? And will BBi release more Perfect Body blank bodies? Thanks. If you can help, it'd be appreciated, if not, I understand.

Jan....

Post by digger » Sat Nov 12, 2005 10:35 am

Is it just me or is Jan. slated to be the busiest month ever? It seems everything is slated for Jan....something tells me it can't be that 2 Mustangs, the Avenger and the Legends Corsair will ALL land in Jan.....bbi & Admiral also have AC slated for Jan (when most of us are broke). Same thing happened last year with the Panzer IV - it just missed Xmas. Seems odd that SO much would be slated for right AFTER the holidays... :? ...although I'm sure not on purpose....
....who wants to bet we don't see all 6 in Jan? :P

At least the S2 104 should be here in time for Santa :wink:

Just make sure the reciepts are in the boxes at Christmas digger so you can exchange that clothing for something you really wanted. I used to hate getting clothes for Chrstmas when I was a kid! :P

Don't worry, Digger, the stores will help you out. I've found that it takes a couple months after Christmas for toy stores and sections to "recover". Some of the SW figures I've had the worst luck finding over the years were January releases. Also, some January releases show up in December, so if you are brave enough to dive into the stores (I recommend going late at night at watching all the parents rush-buy while the kids are at home), you may find some stuff early. Otherwise, even if stuff makes it on the boat for January (a big IF), your best bet may be February.

For Mike:
Has or will the tanker figure that came with the Sherman be released as a single carded figure like the chopper pilots? This way we could give the Sherman a complete crew.
Thanks,
Loki

I have a question for Mike.

When or will BBI come out with a 1/18th F6F Hellcat? I think its about time this Fighter should be done in 1/18th scale. It has been passed over way to many times if you ask me. Plus I saw a pic of it at your booth during the toy fair (with no box of course!) so I wonder if its in the planning stages. With the excellent detail you put on your Mustang and Corsair I'm sure it would be a good seller.

Mike, is there much chance of seeing any other schemes for the Corsair? Any hints on which version will be done?
Thanks,
Todd

PS. Oh and I would sure like a 1:18 A-10 incase you hadn't heard.

sorry to say we do not offer this figure separately but your suggestion is noted.Thanks.

for Mighty Mustang
my standard response is "wait and see"

for Doc Todd
my answer is "yes and no" as well as "wait and see". The new shipment of the U-bird will be in a different scheme but no hints.
And thanks for the comment on the A-10...I don't seem to recall anyone else mentioning that.
