well, i have this: http://www.blueboxtoys.com/bbi/eForce/digital/2.htm (pictured in pics i posted a few days ago)
i want to get the first one on that list
the urban marpat figure doesn't catch my interest, the 26th meu marine looks alright, i would consider purchasing him sometime, and the last one on the list looks like total crap. so basically, bbi only makes 3 marine figures :P not only that, but compare how many marine figures there are to how many army figures, but i heard the guy that either started, or owns bbi was a marine, but could just be a rumor. not to mention i don't think they make enough marines, because that's all i want to collect and customize right now. p-)

The M4 is really nice.

[MVSpartan117]

I thought you owned that one guy,

Ya, I wouldn't mind more marine figures, in fact I would love it.

Hopefully more will come out in the near future.

MEU armor would be good for kitbashing

[Operation Ivy]

how much money have u put into this? :D

[MVSpartan117]

A lot, I'd say I have at least $1000 1/6th, and probably another thousand in other action figures. I've always loved action figures since I was like 5. Since then I've probably put a couple in hundred dollars in them a year.

Edit: after thinking, it might be more like 1500, or more :|

Talk about a wakeup call! But I ain't giving up!
It's a great hobby!

Hi,

Alot people say http://www.opsgear.com/ is the best palce to get figures, but I only see 3 figures on thier site! Am I doing something wrong?

[Luxembourger]

you are right
but you can assemble you own figure on that site with all the gear , uniforms ,and weapons and then purchase it when done

I'd reather just do that myself! ;)

[Luxembourger]

what I meant is that you can buy a lot of accessories without purchaisng the whole boxed figure.

I bought a set of Dragon DCUs including the helmets in order to dress up my 2 BBI US soldiers iraq, you know that I don t like the BBI DCUs. DO you think the Dragon uniforms will fit to the BBI figureS?

Definatly, I use just about every brand of BDU's for my figures, everythings pretty much interchangeable

[Luxembourger]

ok thanks

I think I will sell the BBI desert uniforms definetly .

I am looking for vehicles too for modern US troops like Humvees and braldey and Abrams in 1/6 ...I know that 21st C. does the bradley
but that bradley is the old one so you can t use it for an OIF diorama

do you know any good site where I can buy 1/6 humvees tanks and other vehicles for American military?

As far as I know, the BBI modern Vehicels are the only ones out there

21st does make a desert M2 if thats what your looking for

They also make Humves, but they are horribley out of proportion.


Most of the vehicles you see on the internet are custom jobs or made by small companies and are incrdibley expensive.

Some might even be converted RC vehicles

really? I found only the 3 nato camoulfage bradley but that bradly is the old one used at the begining of Desert Storm 1991


here is the 21st Century old Bradley that would not be useful and unrealistic for an OIF display

the M2A2 ODS would be cool if they release that one , because that would be acutal Bradley being used nowadays in OIF

[MVSpartan117]

I am almost postive they made desert ones, but I have to admit, it's been a very long time since I've seen one


A little custom work could turn that bradly into a newer one :)
