I'm not entirely sure if these are the right size for Joes, but they're pretty durn close by the dimensions given. I'll let you guys know later if I win an auction on eBay. I've been looking through the site (link below), and they're just some awesome vehicles that would accentuate any Joe (or Cobra) ordnance. Check them out -

Here's another nice looking vehicle by another German company, suitable for Joes:

Per the second, did you read the part of the review where he said the truck is not compatible with 3 3/4 inch figures? It is a decent looking truck, but...eh.
As for the first...those are decent looking vehicles but I can't tell if Joes would fit or not. And why would Joe or Cobra need a DHL truck or a tractor? I guess I can see repainting a truck as an "ARBCO" truck or something..

I've been looking at the Bruder stuff for a while. Kind of expensive and I believe they are 1:16 scale. I think they'd be too big for ARAH, but they might be alright with the 25th figures. I haven't seen any at retail, however, you can get them online. I think I even saw them at Target's website. Yup, sure enough, Bruder at Target Online. I like the Flatbed Truck with Bulldozer and the Forklift. They are really well done and have great detail (based on the pictures).

yeah... these toys are expensive... that's why only a few small toy shops carry them. i guess for now tonka would do. as long as they fit anyone's budget.

I do realize these are a bit higher in the price range, but I like them a lot, and I can see the Combat Engineers using the construction equipment (having previously been assigned to a construction unit in the Army - 68th Eng. Co.). Of course, I deal with logistics as much as I do action with my figures... |

A friend of mine found some of the Bruder vehicles at either a Marshalls or a TJ Maxx last month. I think he found a Dump Truck and Fire Truck I also think they were half their original price

I wonder if a folded up Firebat would fit in the back of that horse trailer, The one with the Jeep Wrangler?

I did read that - but it looks like it's JUST too small. With a bit of imagination, it could work with the 25th line.

Unless they bring out a Lightfoot...wasn't trying to come down on your suggestions, b/c they are nice vehicles. But in my mind, Joes should be riding motorcycles, jeeps, APCs, tanks, copters, etc.
