I have been trying to buy these up this year before they are gone for the season. I promised myself every year that I would go and buy some and never do. This year so far I have got the battlefield, another 2 humvees, rocket helo, and patrol boat. I kind of regret getting the patrol boat now over something else like another humvee which I thought I didnt really need since I already have three. Almost got the little patrol vehicle but changed my mind at the last second and now regret it. Think I may just be about done with getting pte now and may just buy things here and there when I see them at the store during the holidays or buy the big things like the tank and f18.
Also, I do not think we'll ever see the F/A-18 again at retail. From what I gather, old stock creeps up every holiday season, but they are getting more expensive as they are getting more scarce.... Some of the other stuff seems cyclic: we saw the Battlefield Command Center last year, and may see it next year or the year after that. It's been a few years since we've seen the Rocket Helicopter. The Humvees and the smaller stuff we see almost every year.... It is, so I re-imagine it as some sort of light autocannon.

Oddly, the grenades look about right, but the difference between 1:16 1:18 and 1:20 on a 40 mm diameter grenade is going to be tiny. |

This:
Also anyone ever see the patrol boat anymore? Not the new one that is plain as the nose on my face but the older one that had the steering wheel towards the front. I wish the arctic humvee was still around. That thing was cool.

Looks much better.

I almost bought one this year when I saw the gray version but I just can't justify the cost ($40 plus tax). I'd buy it without hesitation if they skipped the figures and vehicles and cut the price in half. Now the command post? Yeah, Santa brought one of those to my kids last year. That's a pretty cool set and it costs exactly the same as the battlefield but with way better accessories and a better structure as well (in my opinion at least). I was half planning to buy another command post this year but none of my Big Lots had them in.

I've been considering trying to set up a way to mount the Marauder gatling gun, but it's pretty far down a list of projects I probably won't ever get to.

I was at Big Lots and they had the F/A- 18 Hornet marked down to $20. I guess it was because the top part of the packaging was slightly damaged. I didnt see any of the other items on sale. Anyway, glad to have it!! It's freaking awesome!!!

It shouldn't be difficult to alter the mount to fit a weapon from another vehicle. If you are just going to drop any old .50 on it, you will need to fabricate a mount for it. |
