I've loved their products and own several of their 1:18 Elite Force brand, but a few years ago they seemed to... stall. I haven't heard much of anything from their camp until I was bored searching through BBTS stuff and came across a preorder for a BBI F-16 slated for a July 2011 release.
bbi collectible and looking through their products all are stamped with a "Commissioned" branding near the bottom. Even old favorites, Apache, Little Bird have it. I was expecting to see "Decommissioned" but perhaps the "Commissioned" simply means its outsourced for production? example: bbi collectible I would love to see their lines make a full production return and perhaps I'm just over eager... so the skinny of it. Does anyone know if they are just limping along or if they are reintroducing old molds?? |

They're supposed to be releasing an F-16 and an LAV. I think the are going to be online only releases.

I'll take online exlusives any day if it means more of their stuff! I preordered both the F-16 and the LAV. Hope they reintroduce the apache and the blackhawks... here's to positive thinking!

I love the BBi Elite Force stuff. I have next to all of their stuff (I sold off some of their WWII era pieces). Look at my profile for pics of everything that they have if you want to see them with the 25th Joes.
BTW, Pick up the following if you ever find it for a decent price as this is the rarest of all of the BBi stuff just so you know:

............ I see that and this is how you make me feel.. hope your happy
You are an evil, evil man. You have shown me up with one of the ultimates. Touche This is what I had a few years ago, but had to sell when I moved... so I would love to see some more being offered by BBi, yes.. even the SuperCobra night raven was added for scale. At the time, someone on the Tank asked just how big the BBi stuff was Last edited by Akunin; 04-22-2011 at 10:56 AM.. |

Cool pics. Not to show you up at all. We just love a dying (but hopefully renewed hobby).
I did something similar size-comparison in these photos:

Damn Starfighter, very impressive! I had a chance to buy a Supercobra for $100 but then I had to sell everything I had to move. I've been eye balling the jolly rogers since they were announced... another one that slipped through the fingers!!
I just hope they ramp up production again, as I would love to get what I lost back and even more! Hell, if they did a monthly release I would be very happy! |
