I tried a few different 25A Joes and they all fit fine in the tank without webgear but were too fat around the waist to fit down in the holes when they had webgear/straps on.
I also took a comparison pic between the PTE Combat Tank and a Forces of Valor 1:18 Abrams Tank. The main difference is the FOV tank has a more detailed paintjob with weathering and is a little bit bigger and heavier. The sculpts are very similar and while both are cool, I actually kind of prefer the PTE version because it's treads move a heck of a lot easier. The FOV tank's treads just slide across every surface I put it on instead of rolling; I have to press down and put weight on the top of the FOV tank to get it's treads to turn. If you want my opinion, just buy the cheaper PTE tank and give it a better paintjob instead of buying the more expensive bbi, 21st Century, and FOV tanks.
The command post is pretty cool but it could really use a paintjob as it's just too plain and generic looking for me right now. I'll probably add on to the floor and side to give it more space and add some weathering and diorama pieces for a lived in/used look. It came with quite a few accessories I didn't care for and am already trying to sell, but the bulletion board, table, laptop and chairs are all great. I also like the 2 piece sandbag wall (not pictured)
The patrol boats rocks. The little lid in the middle of the boat is removable and you can store accessories down in it though it's not very deep. Size and diaper crotches are not an issue here as all Joes will fit in just fine with it. The only thing I really don't like is both of the motors just slip over the back edge/rim of the boat. They don't snap into place and fall off very easily.
The humvees are great but as you can see by the pics, some joes with diaper style crotches don't sit in them very well at all. Hawk and Stalker look great driving the humvees, and I could even get Lady Jaye in the driver's seat, but Flint and Beachhead won't sit all the way down in the seat no matter how I positioned them. The diaper crotches also affect how different Joes look sitting in the back of the transport humvee.
I included some comparison pics between the PTE humvee and a 21st Century humvee. As you can see, the PTE version is quite a bit taller and it's easier to fit Joes inside. I like it better.
My Big Lots also had a Expedition set with a Jeep and a bridge but I passed on it. Still no sign around here of the F-18 Fighter Jet pictured on the back of the PTE boxes.
