To give you an idea how accurate it is, my company is involved in the design of the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA, so I've been in parts of that building that most people will never see. I was surprised to see among some of the artifacts, nothing less than the exact same 1:18 scale Ultimate Soldier AH-1W Super Cobra that I have. I expect to find it in a diorama there someday in the next expansion of the museum. It looks fantastic hanging in my office w/ a pair of BBI jocks piloting it. You might get lucky though, or perhaps 21st will release it again hoping to pick up some Joe fans. They have recently released some pretty nice vintage 1:18 aircraft (F-86, MiG-17, F-109, P-51) not too long ago, but nothing modern that I've seen. Good luck! |

21st Century needs to outright rerelease their Hueys and Cobras. I snagged my camo Cobra for $20 on ebay before these became popular.
What were you hoping to pay Sgt. Slaughter? |

i've seen some of the 21st toys and while the detial is to a higher level, so is the cost. what makes the bbi stuff so appealing is the cost.
you can still find both on ebay but the 21st tend to run higher than bbi naturally. i'd buy the 21st bradley but for something that is just going to sit on a shelf wiht my joes, i don't want to spend more than $20. but thats just my priorities, not everyone will have the same.

thanks for the background info. before the 25th line, i had not even bothered to go down the action figure aisle.
i guess thr trick is to know what is where and when the price drops are. had i not know about this fourm i don't think i would have ever paid attention to bbi or fov products and prices. do you have a picture of the super cobra? i know 21st makes an attack helicopter. what makes it more difficult for me is that i'm not up on military hardware/vehicles as i've only recently gotten back into really collecting.
