Yeah, the Salvation ones are tiiiiiiiiiiny. You're better using a Rattler. As for the Abrams, Walmart has one in their 'Kidz Connections' or whatever section. The size doesn't look bad, and it's inexpensive.

Yeah, I'm so surprised that you can actually fit an ME Joe in the cockpit. It's a tight squeeze but it works out!

Reasonably so, if nothing but by process of elimination...

Bought a tan lookout tower and a green camo humvee. Plan to go back and grab the tan for a pal, and a cargo humvee for myself. They had 4 arctic humvees too.
Likely grab a MBT and jeep, but on the fence for the ifv. |

No large bodies of water, so a few rigid inflatables would be the most they'd have access to.

I go back and forth on the IFV every time I see it. I think what holds me back is that Raccoon City wouldn't have any need for an amphibious vehicle in their armory's motor pool.

No large bodies of water, so a few rigid inflatables would be the most they'd have access to. Armies regularly re-purpose amphibious vehicles for land engagements where they might need to advance across rivers and various bodies of water quickly or through heavy resistance to create bridgeheads and thus an amphibious armored vehicle like an IFV on land is ideal. Fording tanks and APCS are not ideal for attacking fortifications on water or advancing across water due to various reasons and usually require bridges to be sustainable in advances. That's why you're likely to see the IFV on land too, a just in case option the military likes to have, especially to take and guard bridgeheads and landing areas. Equipment variety is a strength in the army, not a weakness. So yes, raccoon city might have IFVs stockpiled up for no reason besides that. *Interesting fact about armored vehicles. (Armored vehicles don't win wars by themselves because terrain restrictions like bodies of water and mountains can bottleneck them into easy kill zones since they still need roads and bridges to move efficiently and quickly. That's why infantry are so important, there's almost no terrain that infantry can't fight on, and where's there's infantry, there's eyes for support fire from artillery aircraft and all sorts of nasty things) |

I haven't had any issues fitting Joe figures into any of the PTE vehicles, and I have almost all of them and multiples of many. (Missing SU-27, J10 and the new arctic hummer and amphibious buggy thing). I have one of them too, it's considerably larger than the PTE tanks. |

Actually raccoon city might have IFVs. They just didn't show them.

If the props are an issue just remove them, they don't have them on the police-operated variants as far as I can tell. If you need further convincing, we have podunk police forces getting MRAPs from the government. Finally, there's always this version: Different turret |

I guess there are other options for an Abrams, but man, those Bradleys are so jacked in price now. |
