I remember when Big Lots used to get World Peacekeeper toys, they were the best. They featured awesome vehicles, similar to Joe but more authentic. Anyways, I haven't been to Big Lots in awhile, but a search of World Peacekeepers on the Internet brought me to here:
https://www.mctoy.com.hk/index.php/i/products?lang=eng They have all the sets! The military bases, accessories, and of course all the vehicles. I felt like a kid in a toy store again. I couldn't resist passing on this site, not sure if you guys knew already but they ship to the U.S. even though the prices seem higher than what I remember. Have fun shopping! |

Hey thanks for the link. Lots of cool stuff. I didn't know about this line until recently. I can't see prices though. Do you have to set up an account and put something in your cart first?

Yes unfortunately you do. However, some stuff is reasonably priced and it says free shipping. The black copter, the jet, the bridge, and the farm type base are all close to $100 each and thats slightly overpriced, IMHO.

That's actually the manufacturer. They started selling direct early in the year.
The prices are shipping inclusive. Which is good if you plan to buy an item or two. What kills me is I had an order ready to go with them. Was going to order in bulk to save on shipping overall. It got cancelled in favor of the new system. But 80 for the SU-27 is better than the 150 0n ebay. |

I love these toys. I bought a couple of the camo Humvees, the watchtowers, and the incredible Command Center a few years ago. My son and I use the Command Center for just about everything. I recommend them as excellent filler pieces for your G.I. Joes. I was in a local Odd Lots a couple of weeks ago. All they had was the small play sets in stock.

Just to give you some options, WPK is great for the items they have that no one else has made, As is Ture Heroes. WPK has the cool watch towers and the A10. They are also more affordable than the better brands. However if you have the means I’d recommend BBI (Blue Box Industries) amd their predecessor 20th Century Toys and the later Target exclusive rebrand Bravo Team. WPK has similar molds but theirs have been dumbed down for cheaper versions with less detail and at times less features, like doors that may not open etc, and the quality of the the plastic on WPK isn’t great. While BBI, 20th CT amd BT were an amazing value when at retail their after market prices have sky rocketed in the absence of quality 3rd party military 1:18 toys. But, if you can find them at a good price or have the expendable income I’d highly recommend the other three brands over WPK. Again this is for vehicles that are available in all brands and you’ll see a lot of overlapping. WPK has some cool items that the other brands have not done like seal boats, and little building facad play sets. I was lucky to be collecting when many of the 20th Century or BBi items were on shelves but there are still items I’d never gotten around to or sold off that are rather unaffordable now. I just wanted to let you know about the other brands, their quality far out scores WPK but at a cost and they have some awesome items of their own. If you’re a fan of the Dragonfly I’d say look into the two variations of the Sea Cobra. I love mine.
