BBI Bad Cat exclusive F/A-18 VFA-82 Marauders

Post by Bimmer » Fri Aug 04, 2006 6:54 am

Hi people!

I am new here but I have been reading posts in this great forum for quite some time now.

I think its time for me to part with my remaining BBI 1/18 stuff because I am switching over to the CDC / FM Armour line.

Hence my question: Does anybody know the size of the production run for BBIs Bad Cat exlusive F/A-18 VFA-82 "Marauders" bird?

I bought the bird a couple of years back at their store but unfortunately I can not remember how many they build.

Since I am probably gonna offer it on evilbay :twisted: along with the F-16 S1 I got, I need as much intel as possible.

If anybody has a pricing range about what they are worth (no damage, including box) I would be quite happy!

Thanks in advance!
Bimmer

If memory serves, we brought in 700 on that exclusive. Since that squadron has been retired, I would think further production to be unlikely. I don't think I would part with it.

If you do sell be sure to list it correctly. Here you see one listed poorly and it didn't even get SRP.

Thanks for the Infos!

I could only remeber it was a small production run. So I'll better keep it and sell it someday for top dollar! :P

Refering to ebay:

It is always crucial to describe your items as precise as possible. Thanks for the "better not this way" example.

Thanx for the heads up!

And I considered giving away mine for $172 on ebay a bad deal! :shock:

I came to this conclusion only because I got $184 for my F-16 Wolfpack. :D

Well, since the birds got to big for my office and I got some serious dough for them I am a very happy person now! 8)

Have a nice one!
