BBI - Blue Box Toys Information Q&A (Mike)
whoa
Don't get too excited, sometimes there is nothing the Cos. can do with certain parts. I know another board member got two left (or right) wings for their bbi Corsair and received a replacement no problem so there is customer service but I am sure it has limits.
Did it come without the JDAM? If so you should contact the seller and try to exchange it.

Seems the limits are a bit turned around if some one can get wings and I can not get one small bomb. It has all worked out...one of the outstanding board members is tooking a brother up
I am still very disappointed in BBI since I have given them hundreds of dollars
Too bad for BBI that 21c quality has improved...


"Tigers!?.....Where did the Tigers come from!?!"
Well...that's not the problem at all at my TRU. They been selling through at a pretty steady rate and restocking pretty heavy.Hawkeye wrote:I second that sigh. I went by the TRU closest to me (110miles) and found NOTHING! Not even the pegwarmer Marine rear guard guy. Oh well, miltary town at Christmas time, shouldnt have been that big of a shocker.
I just want something new.
Heck, I'd settle for hearing some concrete news about what 1:18 are coming (soon?).

Santa hooked me up and I'm now in the F-16 owners club. Have to say I have no idea why I waited this long to get one.
Amazing details... Huge... Fantastic colors..
Thing looks like it's ready to take off..
And with all that ordinance..
Somebody's gonna get hurt..

Man, did Mike fall off the face of the Earth? If he ever returns, maybe we can get some info on the new modern figures. I forgot who was able to score some of them, but I can't wait to get my hands on those guys. Also, will TRU ever get the green Zero?

What new modern figures? Has there been a new assortment released?Morian Miner wrote:Man, did Mike fall off the face of the Earth?

new figs
A board member got a set of the new modern figures from bbi but we haven't heard anything about their actual release. They haven't even been acknowledged by bbi yet (website, Mike, etc..)...now that I think about it..I haven't seen shadow around..did bbi get to him?

After almost no thought, I have come to the fantastic conclusion that BBI has killed Mike for leaking sensitive information to this forum such as "We will have to wait see" and "Maybe". I know It's my fault. I pushed too hard!
I know he is probably in Hasbro heaven now. We're going to miss you man!

Hey Mike,
I was just wondering if you guys at BBI had a target release date for the 1/18TH F6F Hellcat planned yet? Any ideas? I really look forward to this baby and if you guys make it like you did your Marines Dream Corsair its gonna be a winner.

Might well be. Sometimes it's best to let the dead reveal themselves to you at thier own time.MightyMustang wrote:chunks wrote: Please, let the dead lie in peace!!

Hi Mike.
I'd like to know about the figures Razor asked about as well. When will or will we see them?
Is there any chance we will see another "new" 1/18 aircraft (modern or WWII) from bbi other than the Hellcat or repaints this year? Is there going to be any expansion in the modern line of bbi 1/18 Elite Force aircraft?
Thanks.

Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.
