Nice looking bird. Unless you have your heart set on keeping this for yourself I would send this puppy right over to ebay, I would imagine you could turn a tidy profit on it if you wanted to part with it.

Interesting Idea
That's one possibility...but I already have another. A friend of mine is moving down to the coast and sold his collection (partly to finance the move...partly because of room constraints). Since his collection was sold, he comes by every once in awhile and stares at what I have in my office. The one he stares at the most? The Texas ANG Falcon of coarse. He says that it's the one aircraft he really regretted selling. If he wants it...it's his for the original purchase price. I already have one....and I can always change this one into something else later if he doesn't want it. But personally, I don't collect these things to get rich off of them. I can get real teary eyed seeing alot of MIB stuff people store in the hopes of scoring big later. Me...nothing is left in the box...and it's not for sale. I'm a collector....not an invester. So sorry....but this one will never hit evilbay, that's for sure.

It's a "Wolf Pack" F-16C block 52.
Target Item# B000VDURD6
Bad news...Target has run out of the small supply they had available. there is a sticker on mine that indicates this Falcon came through Amazon.com before arriving at Target. That would seem to indicate that Target has become the clearing house for BBI. I can handle that. The Target rep I talked to said that there are no more in the inventory and it is unknown if there will be a re-stock coming. He also was unable to tell me in there are plans to carry this item on store shelves. However, there is every possibility that it CAN show up on the shelves...so start you scout motors and start looking. I will be watching my area.
Great news, thanks for the heads up!!! mine should be arriving today and I'm quite happy to hear it's the "real deal", as I was expecting some PTE F16ish looking thing.
