Yeah, I forgot about 21st century - they have some nice stuff. I'm looking to complete my helicopter collection with a Huey and a Cobra, and 21st did both of these very nicely. But they're pricey. The Walker Bulldog and Patton tanks are nice. There's also some WWII era stuff you can make work - I have a 1-1/2 ton truck (in lieu of finding any 2-1/2 tons) that I use. And for other stuff, there are some really cheap 1:18 bikes you can find at TRU (I think it's their own brand) that look nice and cost under $3 that are awesome for dreadnoks - street, custom, riding and dirt bikes. There's also a pack of 5 or 6 that runs about $9.99. Always on the lookout for stuff for my Joes.

Really? I wasn't aware about that with the LAV? I thought it and the Stryker were two different animals? I don't like the Patton tank, if I'm going to go with something big and only holds two, I'd rather have the Abrams for Steeler. What I really need is an updated version of the old Joe APC! Now THAT would be cool! I think for now I may wait on the new Styker someone said is coming and compare that with the LAV. How many fit in the LAV? Thanks - .

The LAV and Stryker are the same - all based on the Piranha first produced out of Switzerland. There are many different configurations for the turret. The actual toy holds one up top and probably around 4-6 in the back. There aren't any other real APC's like the Joe one. There is, however, an M113 APC produced by the 21st century line - Vietnam era.

There are 5 major 1:18 scale companies that makes this stuff for retail. They are 21st Century, BBI Elite Force, Admiral Toys, Peguses Hobby, & Forces of Valor: Bravo Team.
There are more WWII Stuff than anything. Here is a quick loo of them as well: |
