Thanks for the pics man! Also, new sets just came out:SWAT, military, and fire fighter figures with modular destroyed building pieces that can be combined for display. Very cool, and:

ONLY $2.50 AT BIG LOTS!

I haven't seen these in person yet but I hope I do soon! Apparently the paratrooper, tent set, bunk room set with locker, and trooper with horse sets are out too!

Seen those sets today, pretty cool....and lots of accessories.

Grabbed the A-10 today...IT IS HUGE!! I've seen pic comparisons of it, but you don't really see how huge it is till you have seen it in person.

Also got the Combat Tank.

20% OFF Coupon (http://www.biglots.com/coupon/BuzzclubCoupon.aspx)

Yes at Big Lots, and TRu has it under their green boxed "Elite Operations" banner.

Which one? There's two (possibly 3) different "playable" 1:18 scale A-10s out there. The one I think Flash is talking about is different from the EO version.

The one at Big Lots and TRU is the Elite Operations/PTE A-10, the one in the thread you showed is the Chap Mei one

Here's a link to the PTE one:

i just found out that some Elite Operations toys at TRU had been remove from shelves as part of some recall. i'm not sure if the rest of the PTE toys are included, even though they're from Big Lots.

The Elite Operations toys in question (At least the last ones I heard about back in March) were the Chap Mei types. TRU's Elite Operations line is a combination of Chap Mei and PTE items

It looks good the way it is ...but an idea might be leave the gray and paint the blue black...or perhaps a nice shade of dark cobra blue like the rattler...
