Just in case people are looking for PTE stuff, I saw 1 each of the Bombed out building, Command Post, APC and Rocket Helicopter at the Big Lots in Lewelling exit San Leandro CA. Saw em today on the top shelf.

From what I've seen here in NY there are more then one "brand" name. Power Team Elite, Elite Operations, and then tehre is the BBI stuff as well. Apparently either the main company keeps changing names OR they are using different manufacturing places in Asia on a reg basis. There is no true consistency in the company responsible for the actual product as well. Downed websites, no contact info etc etc. FRUSTRATING!
Toys R Us and Big Lots are the places here that carry this stuff. From what I'm told around the holidays is when you see the most of it. It's hard to find this stuff on a regular basis. I can't remember ever seeing these things elsewhere in large quantities. Target and Wallmart had certain items at one point BUT it wasn't really the GI-Joe scale stuff. The problem with this line is that it is obscure, AND targets a very specific market being military fans and GI-Joe fans, so in reality it's a small customer base. REMEMBER the toy industry is still geared primarily towards kids NOT collectors. Personally though I feel that this is ok, it puts a challenge in finding some of the crap we all buy which in turn makes these things that more meaningful, HOWEVER when you're a guy like me that likes to customize shit it's unbelievable frustrating. Right now I am searching for F-18 Hornets to convert to actual carrier wing colors of the US Navy. I have SkyStriker F-14's and they are available pretty consistent on Ebay for around $50 bucks complete. You just have to keep searching. ALSO on Amazon.com you can get the F-18 Hornet shipped in from England. I just bought one and it cost me $66 after international shipping which really blew but oh well. The F-18 and the Su-27 Flanker can be found in Europe, you just have to try and find someone that will ship to USA. Also contact ZOOMIE and SUPERFLANKER on here, they got European F-18's and SU-27 Flankers and might be able to guide you where they bought them from Hope this helps you!

M & C Toys M & C TOY CENTRE LTD makes Power Team Elite stuff. Toys R Us no longer carries them in their Elite Operations now called True Heroes store brand. BBi is a totally different brand. Big Lots is the only place that carries Power Team Elite during the holiday shopping season.

Is that the "Airwolf" looking one? I saw that one a week or so back in a store in Edinburgh. But i never bought it. It's 50cm long, and fairly chunky. There is a review here. You just need to search for it dude.. |

I've been looking for one of those everywhere. That's a steal at that price, too.
