bbi Facebook Page

[birddog]

I don't know if anyone has seen this and I haven't seen a thread here about it, but bbi has an active Facebook page. They appear to be communicating with fans and they have even hinted at considering new molds for 1/18 scale for future releases if the re-releases they are producing do well. I'm hearing that they are happy with what they have seen so far with the repaint of the F-16 and the 109.

I think I'm going to have to create a Facebook page to start communicationg with them. Now would probably be a good time to communicate with them about some of the subjects we hear they have prototypes of like the A-10 and Hind. It would be interesting to see if these subjects are even on their radar. I noticed that one fan has already mentioned the Me 163. Let's all start letting our voices be heard.

Here's the link to bbi's Facebook page below:

Somebody mention a 1/18 su-37(or 35) please; hell I'd even take an su-27 or J-11. And by mention, I mean convince them by any means possible even if it means violence and riots!!!

 

[Akunin]

Oh man, sign me up for a f-22, f-117, b-2, mv-22 osprey, harrier or a handful of of molds revisited. I'd love to see a sr-71 (for obvious reasons) but due to size it wouldn't happen.

 

[NSA]

Hmm.

They said 2 modern birds after the Bf-109.

In terra sante.

 

[Wild weasel]

sounds to me like they need to make a su-37 and mig 1.44 then!

No way, they have to make the floppy mig 5 1/4 first!

I'm as big a fan of the Flanker family as you, but I really think if they're gonna do a Russian fighter that they should go with a Fulcrum. Dimensionally it's very close to the F/A-18, and just have a hunch it would be better from a manufacturing and retail cost standpoint.


Don't get me wrong, I'd make room for a Flanker, Fulcrum and Berkut, but I just think the 29 is a safer bet.

I would personally think the flanker would be the better choice. Not many countries can afford the fulcrum. Russia doesn't even have any in its air force besides the show teams. It wouldn't allow BBI many repaints if they did the fulrum, it'd pretty much be indian and german paint schemes and maybe ukraine or the swifts(or whichever show team is the one with the 29's). Now how many countries use the flanker, pretty much every one of them with an air force. That affords them alot more paint schemes=better investment for them. With that said I'd buy a fulcrum if somebody came out with it for $275 or less.


Oh, and you only think you like the flanker family as much as I do

 

[ThunderDan19]

All you facebook people: Barrage them with requests for a 'Hog. I would, but I don't do facebook.

*Ahnold voice* Do it! Do it now..!

I think you're mistaken, but whatever.
And you're right, I don't like them enough to jack off to pictures and vids of them. That's a pretty weird fetish, you fruit.

 

[Wild weasel]

but its orgasmic to see vectored thrust!

 

[Fled74]

I posted on their Wall about a 1:18 Mi-24 Hind. Just letting them know people want one.

Awesome!

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd smash a complete, MIB U.S.S. Flagg on video and post it at HT for a 1:18 Bbi Hind.



I'd piss on it if too if they went with an A model.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

I'd give up meds for a week for a hind.

 

[K-Tiger]

Hear that, people?

If ewok is offering to give up meds for a week you know he wants that shit.

 

[Wild weasel]

I'd give up about $250 for a bbi hind

With quotes like this, it's a small wonder that BBI prices are as high as a giraffe's pussy.

you'd piss on a bbi hind? Yet you think I'm wierd cuz I like flankers.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

I'd be willing to lick a giraffe's pu....what?

Hmm.. ass to high, run too fast

 

[NSA]

... and there goes the thread

 

[Rick]

I'd say.

Back to toys, a hind or A-10. For real? It' just another tease. We'll never see an A-10. Seems like you have to live in Freaking Australia to even get a PTE A-10.

There were some cool bbi renderings of spec op figures on sshq or what ever that site was. They had a page list all company figures by category.

 

[Wild weasel]

... and there goes the thread

it lasted longer than most

 

[The Ewokhunter]

i think they would remake some older product to gauge interest first. Of course they could just look at ebay.

 

[NSA]

They did say two modern planes are next.. so who knows? I imagine the F/A-18 will get a re-release.. maybe a helo?

They said no armor for now, but the planes were selling well.

 

[Wild weasel]

Kkkkkiiiiiiiioooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwaaaaa

 

[Goldbug]

... but where will these be sold?

 

[SR_501]

Still want an FW 190 A-8. Yes, I am all up it's ass. Seeing K-T smash a MIB Flagg would be awesome!

 

[NSA]

... but where will these be sold?

Same places selling the F-16 now most likely, online hobby shops. So don't expect Walmart prices, but hopefully keeps under eBay pricing (F-16 for $149 etc). I'd say around $75-$100 for the big choppers, $50 or less for the little guys.

They need to do a UH-1N, too.
