I'll just leave these here:

AND NOw for the rest of the story.

Obviously from Bbi's facebook. Apparently they did these sometime back, just over a couple of dozen, but no release. They may be playing with the idea of a general release on them, though?

 

[WVMojo]

man I wish I would have picked up some of those...

 

[fogger1138]

Saw this on BBI's page. Apparently only 30 of them got out.

I'd buy one if they re-released it.

Saw that too...they mentioned a re-release coming....

Here's hopin'..

The prototype is on SSHQDB. I doubt it ever got into the retail stream.

If they rerelease it it will probably be 80 bucks.

$80 if we're lucky...they've gotten mighty scalpery these days...get'n a bit too big for their britches...

It's very cool though...are those grenade pods accurate?...not sure I've seen any Humvees with those on them...


I'd love to see them do the armor kit...though, again, I'd hate to see their new ridiculous pricing on something like that...

I miss when BBI used to make stuff like this.

The M7 LVOSS is for Humvees, though I don't recall seeing one equipped in person.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I'd rather see armor than the M7 LVOSS things...

 

[K-Tiger]

Well they prototyped this thing when you could still by them on TrU shelves, I'll wager it predates the up-armored kits by a few years.

This isn't a "new" item by any means. Think of it like if 21st Century was still around and they announced the M551 or PBR might go into production.

 

[thelegoguy]

Gimme gimme gimme!

 

[K-Tiger]

It would look good doused in Krylon olive drab. I almost hope it happens, but I'd be just as happy to track down a couple of 21st M151 MUTTs.

If only there were more of us.

Someone once posted a photo of an entire end-cap at Target loaded with BBI stuff at 30-50% off for the after-Christmas clearance.

There were UH-60s, AH-64s, Humvees, etc.....

Wish I hadn't been cycled out of 1:18 at the time.

 

[Giga Bread]

Depending on the price, I'd pull the trigger. I wanted to make those grenade pods but I'd rather get a more durable version.

This^^

I have seen one of those turrets before !

If they would have produced them I would not have had to make my rendition.

They were popular.

This would have been a hit !!!

 

[Tofujesse]

Man! I use to have a wholesale account with bbi. Wish I still had it. Use to get their figures for 3 bucks and the vehicles were like a third of retail. I didn't sell them, a few friends and myself would just go in so collecting was cheaper

my brother got a little bird from that line a while back. I think he still has it. I wanna get one of them troop transport vehicles.

And what an awesome kit it is/was...

now if only we could get someone to do the armor kit...I wonder who...hmmm...

 

[ReallyMe]

Seeing this photo, I kind of want to cry. I've been planning to make this for myself. The trouble is, I'm no good at it and have no idea how to start. Why oh why won't they release this? (!) Then again, here in Canada, TRU and Walmart etc don't carry this stuff. For me, it's been all ... eBay.

Forgot about this post in a past thread...it's from august...

Hi Joey,

The Humvee with a gun turret project is currently pending, but this may not come out in a few years.

They haven't been in big box retailers for years, and neither will this, should it happen.
