OK people, let me lay it out for you. Has anyone here been collecting the PTE vehicles from Big Lots? Well, I just purchased the F-18 Hornet from there and for 30.00.. I must say SUPER WOW!! In fact, I have bought many things PTE wise to go along with my Joes and Cobras. But have you noticed the price? The PTE Battle Tank is 25.00, and if you bought one that came from Hasbro with GI JOE stamped on it... you would pay 35.00 - 40.00 for that size that is offered. Plus the PTE vehicles are somewhat like Modern Era vehicles instead of what we are getting from Hasbro. So if PTE can make a big F-18 that is about as big as a Skystriker, then why can't Hasbro get on it and try to help us out and stay somewhat cheap. A HISSTANK is 25.00 and it is a dwarf compared to the PTE Tank for 25.00. And PTE's Battle Command Quarters is only 30.00 but if Hasbro did something like that.. it would cost us 50.00 or more!!! I will continue my quest to buy PTE and customize them to Joe and Cobra Standards and save money while I am at it. So has anyone else noticed this??

ive been collecting the 1/18 pte vehicles for a little while now, I love the vehicles but the figures get tossed, they are garbage imo. Ive got both buildings, multiple humvees, 1 f-18, a couple "little bird" helicopters, 3 lookout towers some misc vehicles and tons of parts. i love that stuff. i agree that Hasbros stuff would be more expensive but your also buying them name brand when you do. I think hasbro needs to release some playsets to compete with these guys

They are very cool. If only we could get the Su-27.

If I can score the SU-27.. that will be a serious Cobra Attack Jet to fly along the Rattler!

The PTE figures are garbage, some don't even fit in the vechiles they come with.
The vechiles are cool, however you should note these molds have been around forever, released under a different name each year. (This helps keep the price down since they are rarely comming out with new stuff) Some are compatable with POC but most were made to fit with orginal sized Joes. The stuff is cool & I would suggest using it to add to your Joe collection. |

I give the PTE figures to my daughter and she thinks they are cool. Other than that they would become a massacre of dead bodies that were mauled by a Cobra Hisstank!!!

I've got an entire Eel team that is hoping I get that big black raft for Xmas to turn into their modern day "Night Landing" vehicle.

I love these vehicles and play sets! I just grabbed the 18 as well, and a bunch of smaller stuff. Unfortunately I don't have a BL near me, so I always hit them up when i'm traveling. I hope to get the buildings this year and some more hummers!
My son is using the figures to practice painting, seems to be the best use for them so far.
