They are made in china for american companies. This means they CANNOT be shipped elsewhere first... The product MUST go to the US(where customs takes a bite), and THEN they get shipped to other countries. The only way around that is if the company has another subsidiary in another country. Then they can go there directly. But most companies will export right from the US. And that means two lots of shipping, and two lots of tax... That's why you and i pay a lot more. |

I haven't bought any of the Power Team Elite or True Heroes stuff yet, and I know some of it doesn't hold ME figures. So here is my question. I have seen this set True Heroes Boat & Helicopter Military Mobile Squad - Toys R Us - Toys "R" Us at TRU. The Copter looks very different and much more like a Fang. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? and if so does it hold ME figures?

I don't have that boat, but I have one with a fan on the back. It is rubbish too. I had a jeep that I dismantled for parts. I think I only used the chair (repainted) in an office dio. I bought a bunch of these vehicle packs from my supermarket for about $8AUD each. Almost the only things I used from them are the heads of the figures (repainted and attached to PTE bodies). |

Sorry. I don't even know.
I'll be back shortly with a photo. EDIT: By the way, the doors do not open. There is no "glass" in the windows and figures must be inserted via the front windscreen. There is no interior to speak of either, so figures just flop and roll around inside. The boat I mentioned is pictured too, as is the cannon and a quad of the same brand. I used RoC Sgt Stone in the helicopter as he was the biggest figure I could lay my hands on. I also used sick snake eyes as he was the smallest figure. The Village People's sailor is just there because he was on the bench already. In the shot with just the two helicopters the TH helicopter is only an inch or so away from the Blackhawk. You can see from this shot that the TH chopper is tiny. The quality of the plastic is as bad as it gets. In my opinion these sets are not worth picking up at all. I thought I could make use of them, but they were a waste of money. Sorry about the picture quality, a good camera is not high on my list of purchase priorities, unfortunately. Pay no attention to the tangle of fishing line, the BH is normally hung from the roof. Last edited by Exciter; 09-11-2010 at 05:19 AM.. |
