Maybe they make some extra battery doors for all the old BBs that no longer have theirs.

Not a surprising price. They’re UK made and allegedly exact replicas of the originals.

A bit pricey.
I've never loved the things - I have clones of a couple of the line and while they do as advertized, they didn't last versus my other toys.
For low-gain OD or "sparkle" always on stuff, I prefer a Klon(e) or a Rangemaster, and for gain, well, I want more and more control!

Interesting. I have a Chinese BB-2 on my acoustic pedalboard. Early noughties purchase.
Not really that wonderful and certainly not prized.
Currently used to boost bouzoukis and mandolins - on the ’boost’ setting.

Many years ago I had a Marshall pedal called a Jackhammer. It was.
That pedal was perfect for super heavy stuff.

I just had a peek at these at MF.
To demonstrate just how true to the originals these are, the BB has the craptastic snap-in battery door. The one everybody broke and lost or threw away.
Marshall would do well to reissue this door just for the old BBs that are currently without. 😂

I had a Marshall Bluebreaker II when they first came out. It sounded great on its own but I got rid of it because it didn't play well with others. I don't know if it was the same circuit as these versions.

They were different.
