When will BigBird come up with a stand?

I was wondering if anyone here knew something if BIGBIRD will come up with a special stand for their planes

??!!

Good question! I was thinking the same thing! Every time I get a BB model, I hope that there is a stand, but there hasn't been yet! I wonder why they have holes for stands, when there are no stands!? JAUK....

That was a good one, Glenp! But forget about BB making stands for their planes! Do you want it to be more expensive? I even prefer BB using a plain white box to save up on box-printing fees and whatnot. Hell, I don't care about those meaningless cards either. Just provide the plane in a safe packaging and drop the price!

If you want to make that hole in to good use, use the SJ stands. I'm sure that's what BB wanted people to do. If the holes are a bit big and its making the plane wobbly, then stuff some sponge or cotton or something in there, and it'll be perfect.

Right mini_airport, they should keep the BB's "cheap", by the way I also broke some of the Herpa stands but the planes always survived the followed accident!!!!!
