Had? What happened to them? I’d love to pick up some of the last wave from ya if you still have them.

Also, OP, there is very little BTR on YouTube. You can carve yourself out a nice niche if you would like to.

I had almost all of them. Some didn't make it out to Canada (or at least I never found them).

They were cool but because they were lego, they lacked nicely detailed cockpits though, which is actually what I love to see in my Joe vehicles.

They were fun though.

Yep, mostly the ‘Bay. The base I scored from someone on the Joe FB groups. Thanks for the Lego tip!

I wish I would have cared when these things were going for pennies on the dollar.

Doing videos is not my thing. But hey...someone should jump on that!

Yeah, cockpit detail was largely ignored.

When I got called to active duty and got injured, my wife at the time sold almost everything I had while I was recovering at Ft Sam. These were all lost with the exception of a boxed one with Firefly that somehow got overlooked. I had every single set too.

I really think that it is a shame that they got cancelled because the last wave was so much of an improvement over the first. If they had started out that good, who knows how long the line would have lasted. The Hiss tank was pretty wicked too; I loved the treads on it

Ugghhh...!

Sold everything to help the family stay afloat, or insidiously sold out from under your nose and pocketed the money?

Thanks for your service, Bro-ski!

Yeah! I always thought these were stupid...and they ARE, to a degree, lol. But I’m really diggin’ ‘em in hand, and they’ve been a lot of fun to build!
