Thanks! Most of the vehicles I've opened are pretty solid.
I was stoked to find that the BIG vehicles for CORPS were on clearance for $11 at Wal-Mart! I opened this one the next day: They also had it in BLUE, but I didn't buy the blue one, and my phone was charging while I was in this Wal-Mart, so I didn't get any in store pics to quick share, but I did get 3 vehicles, including the helicopter on the back of the package, but I only open one toy per day. Maybe the blades of this will work on the GUNSHIP I got from Goodwills? I like the extra peg-holes: Sgt. Slaughter? The peg-holes make display more fun, despite the open holes that bother me...Tanks are supposed to be AIR TIGHT. See what I mean, you can put figures in the holes...but that's not a very smart way to ride into war. I like it from this angle: So, it looks cool, kids would love it, parents can afford it, but for me there are some problems that would only irritate me: those OPEN holes! Tanks HAVE to be airtight. But, I'll either get over it, or build some hatches to cover them.

The ''New Recruit'' individual figures are pretty cool, as the proportions are more accurate. Some of the earlier figures look like apes. But the vehicles are really quite neat, especially for the price (even if they have recently increased!)

Some stores have a bigger selection of these. Walmarts new set has a helicopter that is really cool. Its small, but not open cockpit. Really neat. I absolutly use the vehicles. There is also a set a dollar general, ive found several sitting on the top shelf in random places in the store. The set has a ATV a small jet, couple figures and tons of weapons. The ATV is perfect for joes.

Newest vehicle to be added to the GI Joe division known as THE CORPS:
The Corps Mission Vehicle ATK COMMAND with driver Alex Brody, codename "Rucker" These 2 vehicles were available in this line, back in 2011. I didn't buy the BLUE tank, but did get the 2012 repaint of it. The figures are more articulated than the figure that come with GI Joe Front Shots the other side, not seen in the box shot a Sun-Roof? no, it's a place where the figures can stand and use the weapons or in the back, he has an excellently large twin barrel gun to defend himself doors open, and the passenger has alot of leg room the driver also has plenty of room

Nice pics. Makes me want to head to Walmart and pick up some CORPS vehicles. I wish they still were doing o-ring figures though.

I think, for under $2 each, these are GREAT! I hate T-Crotch articulation, but everything else nullifies that hate. The figures aren't that bad, my only complaint is the T-Crotch.

August 12th, GI Joe adds more vehicles to its CORPS division: Combat Helicopter
Comes with a pilot figure: Ivan Lushka AKA "CONDOR"...not from MASK,...maybe? Nazi Helicopter? oh, crap. I thought that door slide over the opening...these things have too many openings o...m...g...why would they make the cockpit too small to fit the figure?? seriously, I tried bending his legs, spreading them, it doesn't work, he won't sit down and his head keeps the canopy from closing So the army guy from the giant smurf cat planet is going to have to be the pilot... yeah, he fits... the other side full view front views

I had a bunch of these years ago that my cousin gave me but I seem to remember mine being o-ring figures. Maybe they weren't CORPS... I really don't know. I thought most of the figures looked kinda cheesy but the vehicles were cool. I ended up selling them on ebay (and some on hisstank) and they got snatched up pretty quick.
