Does anyone know to what assortment or figure group that this 1:18 scale "J. T. Lucas - Delta Force" figure belongs to? At first I thought he was one of those new Special Forces or "Marine Force" figures that we've all been waiting for at Toys R Us, but looking at the cardback that someone posted last fall it doesn't look like he is part of that assortment of six.

Thought I would provide a little clarification here since this group is the most appropriate audience for same. I don't have any inside info from BBI, I'm just making the same observation that everyone else is: that BBI's domestic distribution doesn't seem to be making any effort to bring over new figure assortments. I'm not even seeing any new product at Toys R Us. It's a shame, really, considering all of the amazing new figures they've shown at Toy Fair, etc.

We're currently working with BBI to see if we can rectify this problem and provide a much better representation for the 1:18 scale figure line. Don't know if it will pan out, but here's hoping.

Thanks Corey.. Helps a lot if guys like you step in vs the occasional pot shot from one of us regular joes.

Are you saying that these have been produced and just aren't being put on the boat or are they actually here stuck in a warehouse?

I hope this doesn't mean that BBI's 1/18 could be out, I haven't even gotten the WWII British Para, Also I was hoping that some Ground ready Para's would follow.

don't blame poor mum - they are not out yet so she is bound to get the wrong thing.

BBI's Donald Duck P-51 seem's to be a favorite among alot of people because TRU got a shipment in on Monday and they were gone the same day. Its been 2 weeks in a row now and they get about 15 in each time. The rep sd he thinks its one of their most popular Mustangs they have gotton in. I have yet to see one in person. I would like to see one because people have said that the paint scheme and weathering on it is very nice. I have no interest in buying one but again I would like to see one up close and personal.

It is a nice scheme, and they disappeared quickly in my AO as well. That surprised me considering how long the other two BBI Mustangs sat around. Must be the Donald Duck nose art

He guys any intel on Toy R U's distibutation. Is it like Wal Mart or do they spread them out nation wide at the same time?

billgiff · Post by **billgiff** » Sat May 12, 2007 6:14 am

I've found that the distribution of TRU has been pretty consistant. At least I know that sooner or later my AO TRU will have the new BBI items. Unlike W.M., TRU's usually stock and carry the same items from state to state. BTW, the new Corsair and P-51 have arrived here. I had to get both. Bring on the Hellcat!

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Sat May 12, 2007 7:28 am

I saw three Donald Duck Mustangs at the Toys R Us here. I didn't get one as I really don't have room for it. But I do have a spot waiting for the Hellcat.

After I get BBD there will be a space open for my beloved F6F to.

I just called the Toy R Us on Vets and they say that they have the D Duck.

I will go tomorow and see if they have them. If they do save one for me fellas, don't buy them all out.

Picked up the Don Emerson (Donald Duck) P-51 mustang Friday night at the Boca Raton, FL Toys "R" Us.

Where did those figures go the ones that are on the back left side.

Thanks for your time.

Were the Shermans at Toy R Us or did I miss that boat to?

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Sun May 20, 2007 8:00 pm

The Shermans were at TRU, and for quite a while too

pickelhaube · Post by **pickelhaube** » Sun May 20, 2007 8:07 pm

I guess you snooze you lose. Unless they never made it down here. Tman what about the zeros? Were they for on-line retailers only?

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Sun May 20, 2007 8:10 pm

I can't wait to see my first Hellcat at Toys R Us. I might have to get a few of those babes.

Thus far the Zeros have been online & small retailer exclusives. They have not made it to TRU, and probably won't given the PC attitude TRU has expressed. (If 21c cannot sell German planes, then why should BBI be able to sell an Imperial Japanese one?) The green Zero was the mass-produced version, with the original white Pearl Harbor version being sold only at BadCat. The green zero is increasingly hard to find, but BCA still has the white version. It is an excellent plane

If you are missing and want these items, you may want to either try posting a message on the Trader forum or get them on-line or ebay. Here's some links. These are much harder to find than I thought
