I saw the blue uniforms it made me want to get them but finding them is a little bit hard. I buy all of the 1/6 that come here for the christmas as well as the various 1/18 vehicles. I got so many I kind of forgot all I had.

Definitely carry a man and a crate of munitions more believably than Hasbro's NLC. Their Zodiac is even better, but I'm not seeing it on the site anymore. |

This thread makes me think back to the holiday season and the offerings from Big Lots and JC Penney.
Is there some place to currently snag some of this goodness?

Thanks for the info, HainanMan. One thing I have been thinking about is the lead paint warning. This warning appeared on the PTE packaging during one holiday season (maybe 2010?). The warning was not one there before that, and it is no longer on the packaging. Is this something I should be concerned with, only because I have kids? Was it a one-time thing?
Anyway, I have always been a fan of PTE's vehicles, accessories, and playsets. This thread is informative.

Do you think we will see red justice toys in america? is BBI out of business? is there no market for detailed 1/18 vehicles? is PTE the most detailed you can get all things considered?
Thanks for all the info by the way. |

Bbi isn't out of business, and have been releasing 1-2 items a year pretty steadily for a while now. They're online-only, and tiny production runs (read: hugely expensive), but they're still doing them.

Wow thanks for sharing this information, nice to know the history of the company. And I am glad now that the world peacekeepers line is released in my country, it is like a breath of fresh air since we have limited release of Joe toys down here

If we go by prices I'd say not as they used to be, and I don't think they've made anything since the diecast phantom at 1:32 in 2012 according to the US distributor page.

Darth Awgmon / Lead Paint warning on PTE Packaging.
Quality and IP violations are massive problems in China. For quality its like this: Any business wants to cut costs as much as possible. Before strict regulation even American companies were known for inconsisent quality (think Upton Sinclair's The Jungle etc). To have good quality (and prevent businesses from bad practice) there needs to be: laws / inspectors / freedom of the press / freedom of consumer groups to organise and monitor the inspectors and press. For the moment China has none of those things so knowing for sure what is safe and what isn't is hard to figure out. Having said that after the paint scandal its likely that a lot of companies stuck that warning on their to protect themselves because they weren't sure of where the paint used came from. I would trust US customs / big US companies with a lot to lose more than I would trust a Chinese factory. If the items are on sale in the US without a paint warning then they are most likely safe, especially now when lead paint is heavily checked for. As for me in China, well I'm careful but PTE are sold by a Hong Kong company, which again, I trust more than a Chinese only one. I think PTE in the US should be fine. |
