It was (and still is) $42.15 base price. After my 15% off for Facebook whoring it went down to around $35.83. I say "around" because their poor "15% off" math left me overpaying on the overall order by $1.55 that I chose not to contest. I actually only received a 14.21% discount when you actually look at the base prices and what I SHOULD HAVE had deducted from the total. So all in all, I guess I paid $36.16 for the A10, plus its share of the shipping and fees.
Anyway, if you're going to order, I'd say go big and take advantage of their 15% off. Without that discount on a large order I'm not sure I would have pulled the trigger on my order at all. I know I personally wouldn't have paid $15 to ship the missile truck all on its own. Being able to spread the shipping around across more things makes it way more palatable. Lastly, I will just throw this out there... I mainly ordered the two Ammobot figures in my order (02 Iceman Sniper and 00 General Yuan) for the sniper rifles they came with. I looked at the figures themselves as a bonus. I have them both out of the retail packaging and "assembled" now but I am finding that I don't really have any use for them. If anyone wants them loose and complete but WITHOUT the rifles I'd be happy to part with them. $12 shipped (anywhere in the US) for the pair. I also plan to remove the two Ammobots (another 00 General Yuan WITHOUT rifle and a 03 Streaming Rearguard complete with bullpup carbines) from the AMB Armored Vehicle set in the near future and will be parting with those as well. With respect to the sniper rifles: While both rifles look pretty cool I will say, General Yuan's sniper rifle is by far the better of the two in overall design. For anyone else looking at these Ammobots in general, they are very well articulated. They only lack wrist hinges (the wrists only swivel like 25th anniversary Joes). The build quality appears to be better than the PTE soldiers we're all used to, and they are certainly more detailed.

Any chance of getting some out-of-the-box pics for the SWAT Humvee and A-10, as well as any associated contents of interest?
Also, you don't happen to also have the recent Elite Force A-10 as well, do you? I've been wondering what the two would look like side-by-side. (Judging from the pics and price tag, I'm guessing the nod would actually go to the PTE version in this case.)

The A10 I probably won't have out of the box for a while, but I can take some shots whenever that happens. I can take some in-the-box closeups of any accessories of interest at any time though. I don't have an Elite Force A10 to compare it to directly but in terms of size, the wingspan on the PTE one appears to be significantly larger. The Elite Force A10 has a fatter fuselage but the PTE one appears to be longer. I don't personally like the way the Elite Force A10 looks (truncated and bloated, in my opinion), which is why I never bought it. I always wanted to get this PTE one on some lucky Big Lots visit or something. I was holding out that hope, and M&C Toys came through on that one big time.

PTE A-10 is the best one by far

@ Zap: I mostly just wanted a bit of a closeup of the Humvee to see how it looks in that style--there wasn't anything specific I was hoping to see. I don't have any of the other PTE Humvees (yet) to compare them against, but they are available at my local Big Lots, so I can use those as a baseline.
As for the A-10, I've never seen it up close, so I'm just kind of curious about how detailed it is. I'm not in any major hurry to get one (I don't really have the space for more aircraft at the moment), but I'm not ruling out eventually getting one to replace my Elite Force version. (I like the EF version, but, in hindsight, it's probably something I could live without; I'm not sure the toy features are as valuable to me as having more accurate scale and detail would be.)

OK, here are some shots of the SWAT Humvee, Cobra-fied and stocked with Shock Troopers:

I have a PTE A-10 out of the package. I picked it up several years ago when BBTS sold some of the PTE stuff.I also ordered a SU-27 from them. Sadly they only sold PTE stuff one time. I like the PTE A-10. It is bigger then the Rattler with a fair amount of detail. Here are some pics
Also the SWAT Humvee looks really cool. I ordered two for myself from M&C. Thanks for pointing out where they were.

Thanks for the pics, guys!
That SWAT Humvee DOES look pretty awesome! I've been contemplating one of the open-bed models from the military line (there's a particular one I saw recently with a camo pattern I could best describe as "so ugly it's kind of appealing"), but man, now I kind of want this one too! Any chance of getting a pic or two of the included figures? I'm curious as to how they look. As for the A-10, it does look quite nice as well. *Maybe* not nice enough for me to trade in my 2014 EF model, but...I'm definitely a fan, I'll say that much.

For those of you that placed orders with M&C, how long before you received shipping/tracking information? I paid on 10/10 and received an email that I would receive tracking information before 10/28 and I have not received any additional emails.
