New Bigbird!!! JDE 3 - Page 2

Adrian Mole · 04-25-2002, 01:14 PM

ACHK say other 800 pcs. will sell on some US and Europe shops. Up to now, no one complain the price in HK. I just see that collectors can collect what they want(in fair price, Herpa one is over US$600). Even I collect all JDE in Herpa, I appreciate to see the excellent quality of Big Bird. Now, I think I only collect the specail color models on Herpa, all SJ & Big Bird.

This is the highest quality in diecast plane models that I have never seen before. You can't believe your eyes when you get this model. The printing is very complicated so the marked price is reasonable. Come on, Big Birds, please produce more moulds and I believe all the collectors would only collect Big Birds in the future; no Herpa or Starjets.

That's an overstatement. At these prices I won't touch them unless its something I gotta have like the 2 Ansetts everything else forget it that they have released so far.

what if BigBird gonna produce the following rare herpa models like:

Evergreen
Kalitta Air
Saudia o/c
Lybian Arab 727
Cathay o/c (tristar, cargo..)
Virgin
Air Hongkong
UPS "olympic", UPS 767

etc etc...

when BB gonna realease it in the future (i hope so), just i'am feel sorry for the one who bought them before and paid a lot of super $$$$ for it!

I have tried to get one more JAL#3 at ACHK today but fail. The shopkeeper told me that all the JAL#3 they got have been sold out in two days. He also asked me to get this model at other shop. However, the price is far more higher than that of ACHK. If you want to buy Big Birds in the future, please quick.

Maybe if they come out w/ a Virgin Heavy I might invest in one!

WingsCrazy · 04-29-2002, 06:37 AM

Can't wait to put the 3 JDE together.

Still waiting to buy JDE 6 either the Herpa or BigBird

suichai · 04-29-2002, 08:28 AM

BB will definitely cheaper than herpa.
but it comes to another problem.
you like herpa more? or BB more?

aa928 · 04-29-2002, 12:06 PM

Well I have never seen a Bigbird so I really can't tell but from the pics I still like herpa more becase of the landing gear!
