People better order a ton of those planes because everything else is probably not going to sell well. You have to order a whole shipping container in order to get them to send anything. That would be a lot of those planes. They should just offer those honestly. The other stuff can be found elsewhere. This was actually a bad time to announce this IMO. If they waited until around tax time Big Lots would be empty and people would have more loot to spend on PTE items.

anyone have any suggestions for the starbursts on the rudders?
Masks and patience.
Only one retailer here sells PTE toys (which they order once a year). The only "unique" PTE item I've seen here is the A-10.
I already have 2 of each!I expect you all to buy an A-10 and/or Su-27 and then shut the fuck about not being able to find them.
Not to mention Toyzam & JCPenney.com for all the other items.
The IFV is:
Big Lots $20 last year
Toyzam about the same as Big Lots
BBTS $29.99
FoxholeToys $44.99
Wow the military base is like twice as much as I would expect at Big Lots.
The price for those planes is pretty good actually.
Just a heads up about this.
I am in the UK, and just ordered a pile of A-10s, J-10s and SU-27s from a local store that stocks World Peacekeepers for trade items to my US counterparts, and i got a phone call earlier saying the SU-27 has been discontinued and they cannot get any of those in...
A check around the UK shows it's out of stock pretty much everywhere, with no more stock available...
Now that MAY be because BBTS has ordered a huge amount and stock has dried up. In which case when that demand has dried up, the UK stocks will be back up.
If not, it's possible the SU-27 has ceased production.
As i say, just a heads up to anyone who has placed a pre-order. If you get a message saying they can't deliver, you will know the reason why...

pffft...BBTS can suck a bag of goat balls for their prices...i'm well aware of their mark up, even if it is "cheap" compared to Bbi stuff
soooo, you work for BBTS huh?
You do have members of the 101st and other airborne units that are combat medics, but I think that's as close as you'll get

Thanks bar!!!
Lol. You're welcome!
I'm just glad they arrived. Another SU-27, three J-10s and an A-10 are in transit right now.
I have my heart in my mouth until such time as i hear they have arrived...
I asked my wife for the Little Bird for Christmas, but Big Lots was sold out. I got a gift card to use on it when they restock.
My mother works at Penney's so I just asked her to order the PTE Black Hawk and get her discount for me. $12.99 isn't cheap enough. hah.

Would you happen to know what one would expect to pay to ship a skystriker to you? We might be able to work something out
I don't actually.I have one right now, but i got it for Christmas, and have no idea what my Brother paid for it(Or indeed where he managed to pick it up).
But in my dealings with guys in the US, i am willing to accept shipping of the item just wrapped in brown tape(I never expect the retail box to be well packed in ANOTHER box adding to the weight and cost).
If you happen to have a Skystriker in the box, you could probably easily get a shipping quote at a post office to see if it's feasible.
If it looks like a good deal to you, let me know and i'll pick up some more J-10s.
I have one left "in stock"(SU-27 shipped to Goldbug), along with a couple of A-10s, but i can get more at the drop of a hat(Well, they usually take about a week to order in).
I'm gonna wait till they hit ross
Collectors like you are why M&C will never give us what we want!
That JCPenny one's actually a great value. If I wasn't out of space for the time being, I'd get it just for half of the stuff in the set. For $29, it's still worth it just for half the stuff alone.
But they love making collectors who never buy there stuff happy! They should make an aircraft carrier too, just because I said so!
They will get a restock in August 2012.
Ross will never stock these.I'm gonna wait till they hit ross
Hisstank joke
Just makin fun of those who don't know what retail isA PTE Aircraft Carrier? In accurate scale?
I could live in it...
That'd be totally awesome! Even if they did a semiscale Nimitz carrier in 1/32 it would be 34 feet. 5X larger than the flagg, that'd be impressive

Get his address and plug it into amazon, you never know.

I'm not sure if the US amazon ships to the UK.
I'll have to check that out...
Okay. I jst did a test order on Amazon.com(I had no idea that could actually be done, lol, i normally get redirected to Amazon.co.uk), and the shipping cost was £9(Approximately $14).
I also got charged $6 in importation fees, but i think i could get around that in a trade if the sender picked it up themselves(Or got free shipping from amazon before resending it), and marked the value to less than $20...

It looks like BBTS has gotten a bit of the PTE pre-order stuff in:

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=power+team+elite
it looks like those Humvees did very well, pre-order for those bitches is out of mutha fuck'in stock! If I had alot of disposable income, I wouldn't mind paying some of the prices for some of that stuff seeing that the A-10, J-10, SU-27, etc don't appear at local retail every year (or ever) and it'd be cool to get some of that stuff before the Christmas season or whatever, but I'm a college student. I'm being financially ass raped enough as it is over books and classes and I'll be ass raped again once I need a car, insurance for said car, a place to live, insurance for said place, etc and I doubt I'm going to get a high paying job right off the bat walking out with a diploma. I'm probably going to have to fight for any shitty table scraps I can get. So with that in mind, I'm not buying that stuff for those prices any time soon. (unless my heist goes well)
