These are some great vehicles

I'm not entirely sure if these are the right size for Joes, but they're pretty durn close by the dimensions given. I'll let you guys know later if I win an auction on eBay. I've been looking through the site (link below), and they're just some awesome vehicles that would accentuate any Joe (or Cobra) ordnance. Check them out -

02480 Fire Engine Truck looks badass.

Here's another nice looking vehicle by another German company, suitable for Joes:

Per the second, did you read the part of the review where he said the truck is not compatible with 3 3/4 inch figures? It is a decent looking truck, but...eh.

As for the first...those are decent looking vehicles but I can't tell if Joes would fit or not. And why would Joe or Cobra need a DHL truck or a tractor?

I guess I can see repainting a truck as an "ARBCO" truck or something..

I like the wood palates, and boxes, and stuff

I've been looking at the Bruder stuff for a while. Kind of expensive and I believe they are 1:16 scale. I think they'd be too big for ARAH, but they might be alright with the 25th figures. I haven't seen any at retail, however, you can get them online. I think I even saw them at Target's website. Yup, sure enough, Bruder at Target Online. I like the Flatbed Truck with Bulldozer and the Forklift. They are really well done and have great detail (based on the pictures).

yeah... these toys are expensive... that's why only a few small toy shops carry them. i guess for now tonka would do. as long as they fit anyone's budget.

I did read that - but it looks like it's JUST too small. With a bit of imagination, it could work with the 25th line.

I do realize these are a bit higher in the price range, but I like them a lot, and I can see the Combat Engineers using the construction equipment (having previously been assigned to a construction unit in the Army - 68th Eng. Co.). Of course, I deal with logistics as much as I do action with my figures...

A friend of mine found some of the Bruder vehicles at either a Marshalls or a TJ Maxx last month. I think he found a Dump Truck and Fire Truck I also think they were half their original price

I wonder if a folded up Firebat would fit in the back of that horse trailer, The one with the Jeep Wrangler?

Hey man, I'm all for Combat Engineers...my grandfather was a SeaBee, one of my good college buddies was a CE with the Marines in Iraq.


It's just now what my Joes do, y'know? Unless they bring out a Lightfoot...wasn't trying to come down on your suggestions, b/c they are nice vehicles. But in my mind, Joes should be riding motorcycles, jeeps, APCs, tanks, copters, etc.
