It's a preliminary order. Here's what BBTS has to say about it:

PLEASE NOTE: This is a preliminary preorder. If preorder volume for the Power Team Elite line does not meet required minimums, we will not be able to import this line. Please share information with others who enjoy the 1:18 scale to help us meet the minimum order requirement.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

If it wasn't BBTS I'd be stoked. Too bad we don't see the A-10 or SU-27. The tank is one that never shows up. The figures are a waste to get. They should just do vehicles.

 

[Keenan]

Some great stuff there! Thanks for sharing.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i havent even looked yet, but i can only imagine what BBTScalpers did with the prices...

 

[K-Tiger]

Several of those carded figures come with ChiCom weapons. Might be one of the only ways to get 'em.

 

[Midget]

The variety of weapons in those figures is impressive. How's the detail compare to others?

 

[K-Tiger]

I've never been really disappointed in the detail. They're rubbery, which is why I don't use them.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

The weapons are ok but half the time they are as limp as Eddie around a female. Some are a hair out of scale too. Not many but some. They are super rubbery like KT said.

 

[Midget]

That's too bad.

 

[K-Tiger]

You may be able to straighten them long enough to make molds out of the exotic stuff, though.

 

[Midget]

Unfortunately I'm not quite there yet. S'not a bad I idea though.

 

[lancelot]

I guess if someone wanted lots of cheap back ground fodder they'd get the figures. I'm more interested in the black hawk helicopter. They should definatly work on getting a wider variety of vehicles as well as the other playsets.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

You can usually get that bird at JCPenny.com and fairly cheap come the holidays. Isn't it the same as the True Heroes one?

 

[Wild weasel]

the true heroes has the opening windows on the sides which allows you to put figuers in the more forward seats

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

As much as I'd like to see a few of those items I can't justify their prices. Half the stuff you can find now. Besides a few weapons with figures the tank is the only thing somewhat interesting but only has small differences from the one at Big Lots. Plus shipping I'm not really seeing this happening.

 

[genkhrylov]

Several of those carded figures come with ChiCom weapons. Might be one of the only ways to get 'em.

which weapons are you referring to? Ive never seen any pte have any chicom small arms. they are all hk's, m4s, m16s, mk19, etc. where did you see pte with chicom small arms?

 

[Wild weasel]

about half of the figures on the top row have chicom weapons

I had that same thought. Hmmm...

 

[genkhrylov]

those figures are the sas figures. they come with the sa-80, sa-80 with bayonet, and LSW, all british. The other weapons for those figs areus weapons and the hk mp5

 

[Goldbug]

Yeah the 3 pack also comes with some of those weapons.

No one mentioned that their Rocket Helo (z-9) actually looks like it comes with the rockets.

BBTS preliminary prices suck! I doubt they will be able to actually meet their order requirements.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I just noticed that they have the brown patrol boat too. Now if they could get that damn Chinese boat that has never been seen I'd think about ordering.

 

[Wild weasel]

I saw that too, I couldn't tell any difference other than one was the seasl boat and the other is the marine one, is one literally "brown" in color?

 

[K-Tiger]

Yup. You could grab a can of Fusion and get the same thing and not have to pay BBTS prices.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

But the brown one has the controls at the back! It's a variant!!!!

 

[K-Tiger]

You silly, silly man!

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

It's going to go for hundreds!! BBTS doesn't know what they are sitting on!

I found it funny how it was mentioned elsewhere to speak up to get the A10 and SU27. If they don't have it on there it won't happen. They don't even have the new stuff. No bunker or anything of the sort. Weak.

 

[K-Tiger]

I have to assume that they're not being offered to American retailers.

I so want that J-10 sticker sheet too, dammit.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I wonder why they don't offer them here?

 

[K-Tiger]

Because the Chinese love the taste of our tears.

 

[Goldbug]

Well they are offered to UK retailers.
The SU-27 was(is?) in Canada.

 

[K-Tiger]

Again, not the United States.

They may be a higher wholesale pricepoint.

 

[Goldbug]

Yes but they are offered in a box with English on it. Whereas some of the Chinese stuff is still packaged for their market.

 

[Wild weasel]

have you guys seen the PLAAF pilot for the J-11/SU-27? It looks pretty bad ass! BTW it is a different figure than the U.S. version, when I enlarge the picture like 330% I could tell the oxygen hoses were different, but I think the legs are the same. It also appears to have neck articulation.

 

[K-Tiger]

Because they were offered in Australia.

 

[Cloud Strife]

[K-Tiger]

I expect you all to buy an A-10 and/or Su-27 and then shut the fuck about not being able to find them.

 

[Wild weasel]

Fuck yeah I am!!!!

 

[Wild weasel]

anyone have any suggestions for the starbursts on the rudders?
