I once contacted the manufacturer about ordering directly from them. I don't remember all of the information they gave me but I do remember them saying that I would have to order enough to fill a cargo container. This was maybe over five years ago so things could have changed by now. It can't hurt to shoot them an email.
Anyway, seen in the Black Friday ad for Big Lots PTE sets are %30 off. If I roll by one and it doesnt look busy I'll probably pick something up if I still have any money left lol.

I'm new to this, but it looks like the website has an ordering capability. You have to order by the case, but we could do a group buy on this truck (and any other pesky PTE vehicles that are hard to come by). Couldn't we?
I haven't actually registered to see if it would work (or to find the price) but in theory...does anyone know if ordering direct from the manufacturer is workable? EDIT: It looks like we could get all of the heavy-hitters (the ones too expensive to buy on the secondary market, and impossible for some of us to find in local stores):
I don't want to waste time trying to register if anyone here has already tried it and found it to be either impractical or uneconomical (or even impossible if not a commercial dealer) to order from them directly (shipped to the US). Anyone ever tried it? EDIT again: There is also: They also have an interesting animation series, with this blue flat-bed version of the Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV): AMB Combat Armored Vehicle So much potential here! Ah, the elusive J-10. I check Big Lots every fall for it so that I can finally make a custom Cobra Diamondback jet from the MASS Device miniseries.

You know, I have bought a few small bits from China over ebay; for instance, dremel bits.
It cost me very little to buy and nothing to ship. My wife has bought things from China too (equally as small, however). Maybe it's not really that expensive to ship from China (if you can stand the wait) I love the PTE stuff. I could possibly use another SU-27 (and that massive new missile truck)

The "diamondback" looks like The duece (F-102 Delta Dagger)with a bubble canopy.

Pretty sure someone tried this a few years ago. IIRC, they were a small e-tailer/reseller and basically took orders from prospective buyers before ordering from M&C...I think they ended up having to clearance stuff because not everyone who said they'd buy something actually did.
And no, they did not clearance everything, but with a toyline like PTE which is out every year, there's a whole bunch of stuff in those big orders that come out every year that no one wants that's bundled in with the order which makes it almost impossible to sell it in a timely fashion so they eventually clearanced the figures and the more common stuff. |

My Biglots had about four of them last I checked. I bought one to compliment a stripped down version (lacking rockets) that I already possessed. It may be years until we see that toy again, best to grab them while you can.
