here is their response:
Dear Sir,



Thank you for your message. For the 1:18 Paratrooper series, its release will be in around August 2005 tentatively.

Regarding your comment on our website, your message will be passed to the relevant department for their consideration.

This gives us a pretty good idea of the estimated time of availability for the WWII figures.
Hope this info helps
take care,
HOOAH!

Thanks for the info Ranger
I'm a little upset with August though

[75th Ranger]

August is way to far away!!!!
and even more the word tentative!

[tmanthegreat]

Especially since those things looked nearly ready to go last fall!

[75th Ranger]

it seems like BBI doesn't have anything new to sell on the 1/18 scale line until Aug. 2005.

All their other stuff is already available and/or has been available before.

Amazing!!!

21st can go ahead and get some new ground if they hurry up!

August is still 5 months away...what a shame!

I just hope that the the WW2 figs do get released. I don't mind the wait.
