Somebody knows a little something something about Navy Seals. They use that Punisher symbol on their tactical vest. That is a pretty cool custom.

You found this at K-Mart? Like, recently? If so, I may have to go track down the nearest K-Mart and see if they have any of the newer product wave that hasn't hit TRU yet.
And yeah, this is a great little vehicle to start with, but man, you certainly pimped it out admirably! I especially like the clever use of holsters for stowing the rifles.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I just got it at KMart a week or so ago. You can search Kmart.com and see what they have...no other much really...the glider, the little bird, the dune buggy and the 5 pack. I only found a couple buggies on a shelf...I hope maybe the next wave of singles show up there.

So, did the little mini-Gatlin gun come with the buggy? If not where did it come from? Custom looks great!

Very cool upgrades, I must say! One nit to pick: the spent casings should be a lot longer than that (and you may want to sand off the "China" stamp in the brass bucket while you're at it). I may have to overhaul the one I have in the basement now, though because this is how that vehicle should have looked!
To those asking, the dune buggy is a BBI Elite Force vehicle from the same case assortment as this $10 mini APC for sale on the TRU website. The dune buggies were released in desert tan and black decos. The buggy is no longer on the TRU website, but you might get lucky finding one in your local TRU. They were released a couple of years ago, so they aren't brand new and probably won't be "showing up" anywhere unless they made a third deco for them or something. So anyway, TRU carries the brand. The Meijer stores in my area used to carry them as well, but they got out of Elite Force all together about a year ago around here. Target stores near me stopped carrying them about 18 months ago as well, but I don't know if that was a chain-wide decision or just regional. So you may get lucky at a Target or Meijer, too. I have also (circa 2015) seen people saying they saw these at Ross stores for $7.50, but by now...who knows? Anyway, here is a shot of the desert tan one from a HISSTank.com news posting: And here is literally the first eBay listing I saw of the black deco version: 1 18 BBI Elite Force Delta Force Attack Vehicle Buggy Military | eBay And another one MIP: 2015 Blue Box Elite Force Delta Force Attack Vehicle | eBay Secondary market prices are a bit ridiculous on these, considering the original retail price.
