Those wanting the Russian/Chinese jets here in the US might give Big Lots customer service a call... 1-800-877-1253 and ask them to buy them for next year.. the SU-27 and J10..
Also anyone have the PTE Blackhawks SKU# from Big Lots? |

I got the F18A Hornet and the BBi A-10 Thunderbolt tonight! That F18A Hornet is awesome! The plastic is good quality. The missiles have painted on stripes (no stickers). Nice detailed cockpit. The wing tips fold up. It looks like this thing was originally designed (originally released?) with some electronic sounds. On the back between the tail fins/wings there is flap that you can lift up although it feels spring loaded. Just up from it is a box piece that looks like a button that won't push. And then on the bottom there is a section that looks like it might have been a battery compartment.
Haven't take the A-10 out of the package yet, but it looks a lot like the BBi A-10 on the back of the box. I'm beginning to wonder if World Peacekeepers isn't a subsidiary of BBi because a lot of their weapons and vehicles look almost identical. Jason |

No they look nothing like each other. The BBi one at Target is tiny compared to the PTE one.

I bought the command center and the F-18 so the command center is worth it and more, cool house and good stuff with it. Thinking of buying another but not sure if I really need it. I really wish the figs were the ones with the helmets I like the PTE figures just not those with camo hats,
The F-18 is cool, but really a best investment for one who has a flagg. it can seat two figures easy, the plastic is ok I did almost break a missle fin just trying to put it on the jet. I really dont know what I am gonna do with this thing. no place to store it I may hang it. it does feel a bit cheaper than the TF Raptor just saying I would not give it to a kid AS fast as PTE goes I am gonna buy as much as a i can this year. def some more humvees a tower and we will see what else.

The problem with the Hornets is that some examples have a cylindrical hinge that is prone to breaking. I have such an example where three of the four are broken off, preventing the outer wing from attaching and bending upwards. I've seen a significant number of these online over the years where this has broken off. Others -perhaps the newer examples- have a triangular 'TAB' that is much more robust. Otherwise the plastic on these is very camparble to the modern SkyStriker I find. I'm interested to know if these new ones have cheapened the plastic further...

Big Lots near me had 2 of the World Peacekeepers F-18s. I would love to find the J-10 or the SU-27, but I'm not holding my breath.
