Man that was a blast from the past. Nice stuff. But it's mostly discontinued stuff. I really missed their 1/6 figures. BBI has virtually no presence on toy shelves right now. They didn't even appear at toyfair. Their new site suggests a renewal of sorts. But it's all old product they'ave abandoned a long time ago. I want them to announce their re-entry in 1/18 and 1/6.

I feel like this is the first step towards that. Maybe we will all have our apaches and pave hawks soon.

Did BBI say if it's re-releasing previous 1/18 aircraft and armor?

This was the e-mail I received from them:
Dear bbi member / customer, bbi has recently revamped its brand images which come with a new logo, new packaging design, as well as a new website domain and web design. We hope you like it as much as we do. At the same time, we broaden our product lines. New items will be coming soon. So stay tuned with us. Our new website is bbi collectible. Come to visit us now. Best Regards, bbi So hopefully, yeah, we'll see some new 1:18 Elite Force stuff. I doubt in time for the holiday season this year, but god willing by next. They do still list the F-18 Hornet and F-16 Falcon (of which I have neither), in addition to both Little Birds, the Apache and Kiowa helos, the LAV, the M1-A1, the Black Hawk and Pave Hawk, the 1st Marine Div. and Super Humvees, so maybe we'll see these back on the shelves soon. Also, did anybody check out the papercraft section? They'll soon be offering a free download of a castle to print out and assemble, and they say more will follow. So that's pretty sweet.

WOW scathing review
The lack of troop carrying capacity is a huge let down but in terms of detail I'd say it's passable just from looking at it. I guess I'll have to find something else to carry guys around in. |

They even have a twitter feed. What do they possibly have to say?
BBI: We have nothing on the shelves. I'm being hard on them because BBI left Canada years ago. Some stuff made it here as end of lines. They abandoned its awesome 1/6 line and their 1/18 ran out of steam. BBI seems to lack commitment to its lines. |

My Kiowa just arrived today and noticed there is something rattling around in the back is there an extra action figure in there that I haven't figured out how to open the back? Or just a manufacturing defect?
Aside from that weird rattling thing the kiowa is awesome. It takes some effort to fit two pilots in there but it can be done. Captain Ace looks great in it.
