1/18th BBI Japanese ZERO fighter

Does anyone know if this can be obtained at Toys R Us just like the Mustang and Corsair? Thanks!

Re: 1/18th BBI Japanese ZERO fighter

I have not seen any 1/18 Zeros anywhere other then the online stores.
Toys r Us sells this BBI line and never once have a seen a Zero there
I even ask the store Mgr and he checked to see and the bar code was not listed on there computers.
Maybe other stores are different...Look at the 1/18 Avengers there not at every wally world either.

Thanks, Starman! You're right about the Avenger too - only seen it at one Walmart located out in the boonies!

From what I heard sometime back on the SSHQ, the BBI Zero "might" eventually get to TRU, but they hadn't placed an order for it at that time..

Cool Re: 1/18th BBI Japanese ZERO fighter

This is one 1/18th plane that I didnt get the chance to buy. Bad Cat no longer has them and I've checked all over for them and no luck. BBI never said they were a limited run so I dont know what the deal is but if I see a BBI Zero for sale I will pick one up ASAP!

Re: 1/18th BBI Japanese ZERO fighter

It's no secret we all know Cats still has the Pearl Harbor Zero but they are selling them on Ebay and making alot more money with them that way.
You just can't get it from their on-line store anymore.

Pretty much anyone that still have these are selling them on Ebay because they will go for 4X what they originally sold for.. If I were you, I'd be patient, because BBI should issue another Zero in the future and these folks paying top dollar for them now, will not be happy..
