Does anyone know where the early ARAH vehicles were made?
It seems like the '82/'83 vehicles all were stamped "Pawtucket, RI". No mention of Hong Kong, which the figures had. In fact, as I look at the underside of the APC, it reads: "C [copyright symbol] 1983 Hasbro Ind Inc. Pawt., R.I. Pat. Pend." Nothing to indicate that it wasn't made in America. |

All the vehicles were made here in America (except the ones like Tiger Force that required paint... Mexico for those). Just the figures were made in China. I think the plastic factory they used was located near Hasbro's HQ in RI.

It was located in Pawtucket, RI. The factory is still there, but its used as office space for Hasbro now.

Joe vehicles were still manufactured in RI until the end of the 1994 line, when the plant was closed as a cost cutting measure.

Then the real AMERICAN hero got shipped overseas. Tragic.

if vehicles are made in the US today they would be triple the price we are paying now due to labor costs
