Had no trouble finding them. I had more trouble finding BBi vehicles than 21st Century ones.

Here is a question, I think its been answered in this very thread somewhere, but what are the differences from the 21st Century M2 Bradley vs the FoV M3 Bradley?

The 21st CT edition is something straight out of the 1991 Gulf War. Not sure about the interior detail of the 21st CT edition, but I do have the FOV Bradley and it's great! |

PS...
Headlight assembly was different, and the old Bradley also had 6 separate ports for weapon barrels to point outwards (in the dismounted troop area). There were two on the ramp to the rear of the vehicle, plus 2 more ports on each side of the troop compartment. Dismounts would fire a fully automatic, short-barrel edition of the AR-15 through the port-holes. Not sure if these barrels are protruding from the sides of the 21ST CT Bradley or not. Anyway, Dismounts fired these fully-automatic babies through the six tiny port-holes: PPS... The old Bradley's troop compartment had an awful "musical chairs" set up, which was really annoying when it came to fast dismounts: The modern Bradley IFV has 2 simple benches in the back for quick "stand-up and run like hell" movement.

Used mostly during the first Gulf War, I believe. There is a more modern way of marking vehicles for aircraft to see: Those brown panels on the front doors are supposed to be visible to aircraft even in darkness as recognizable "friendly" vehicles. All of these types of markings exist solely to prevent fratricide coming from friendly aircraft. PS... The reason why the modern Bradley ditched the 6 firing ports on the back of the IFV is because it was damn near impossible to accurately aim and hit something using the rear periscopes. When the old BFV was moving, it kicked up so much dirt and debris, it makes vision nearly blocked. Plus, any movement in the old IFV tended to throw the dismounts around like a bunch of marbles in a spinning glass jar. Try aiming and firing a fully automatic weapon system from inside that thing while being bounced around the in the back of the vehicle like a pinball. Thankfully, all that crap and the musical chairs are gone. There are still 2 rear firing ports on the ramp of the Bradley IFV that we used in Germany back in 2003. I think most modern Brads still have those 2 firing holes in the ramp, even tho it's madness to think you will hit something in that blurred confusion of movement.

What are the odds of finding that USMC 1:18 Scale Super Cobra in gray camouflage with the Snake painted on the sides?
I really like that bird. |

Holy schiesse!
I just unboxed the M48A3 Patton. THAT THING IS FREAKING HUGELY HUGE! It looked big in the box, but it got even bigger out of the box somehow! Standing Joe's are barely above the tracks! I had no idea. That MD sale was ridiculous! $14.99 for THIS thing?! If you went up to any Joe collector in a store and said you could get a Fang/claw or Armadillo/Chariot or VAMP for $14.99 or a Patton... haha there would be a lot less Joe collectors ;)
