No, I’ve never been able to find one complete. Seems like when they pop up, I miss it or they’re just too highly priced for me. I lucked out on the boat, it’s missing a couple parts, but the box is sweet. It was pretty dang cheap. I also have the Space Shuttle launch complex. Scored an unopened one fairly cheap on eBay a few years ago, which I opened of course.

None of that is unique to Lanard. That's literally how every toy company does business with retailers. Probably more true today as child interests in toys continues to dwindle and retail exclusives are the only means to expand SKUs.
My point was hyping HK Toy Fair is pointless because it's so far out. Second is that Lanard has no significant online presence and is falling behind many other comparable companies that do have fan outreach programs. Children buy Lanard Products, parents buy Lanard Products, and yes..."Fans" buy lanard products. and that's because Fun, is universal, and Lanard Brings the Fun, Worldwide. Star Troopers The ultimate space battle begins! The star troopers have paved the way for the future of the galaxies and beyond. From interplanetary missions of science to other worldly expeditions. The star troopers continue to pursue and explore the reaches of the galaxy and beyond, but not without opposition! Encountering a frightful race of space - bugs from a distant distress call, the troopers set off on a rescue mission to rid the galaxy of the infectious plague of evil creatures who threaten the very fabric of life. Join the quest Today to unravel the mysteries of the universe and fight for a better Tomorrow! The Corps! TIME CRISIS Previously the Corps! located the top-secret Headquarters of the Curse Tech Lab. Assembling their team of elite soldiers, The Corps! infiltrate the base to defeat the Curse once and for all and stop their plans for WORLD DOMINATION. The Curse, nearly DEFEATED, power up their nano-infused Dark Heart Replicator for one last battle against the Corps! Creating dozens of clone soldiers The Curse FIGHT BACK! Until a SABOTAGED Replicator causes a major explosion, generating ripples of energy so powerful it creates a SINGULARITY event in time and space. Resulting in multiple time breaches within our universe and sending the fighting factions sliding thru tunnels to various battles in TIME. Thrust throughout separate ages of time, forces unite and recruit new members fighting the future through the past and beyond in the Time Crisis! MULTIPLE TIMELINE SINGULARITY! 2078 THE FUTURE. Sent many years into the future the Corps! find themselves in a different world. Genetically altered soldiers fight on the battlefields and the Curse rule the planet with an iron fist. With the Corps! on the run, they team up with the last remaining member of the MILITARY resistance. New members help the Corps! devise a plan to attack the CENTRAL headquarters and restore their Timeline. Unbeknownst to them a curious new member of The Curse methodically tracks their every move and has something “special” in store for them. With incredibly ADVANCED vehicles flying through the air and patrolling the ground The Corps! will engage the Curse in the battle for their lives to protect the Past by fighting in the Future! 1944 WWII. A Mid 20th century tunnel sends the soldiers to the era of propeller flying planes and steam-powered vehicles. The Curse hunt down their early counterparts, the EVIL Marauders, to convince The Corps! old nemesis Willie to fight alongside them. Together the Curse modifies the planes of WW2 with their knowledge of the future to build the awesome new attack jet fighter “Sky Strike”. The Corps! outnumbered, seek out help from early Corps! member Eagle Eye to build the massive Beast Bomber and defend against the Curse. But Willie can not be trusted and he will stop at nothing to acquire the futuristic nanotechnology. If he does, he will be UNSTOPPABLE! 80 MIL. BC THE PAST. A Primal tunnel sends the teams millions of years back in time to wage war in the PREHISTORIC Cretaceous period. The Curse use their surroundings to take advantage of the situation and equip ferocious DINOSAURS with brainwashing nano-tech to fight against the Corps! The Corps!, not to be undone, TRAIN their dinosaurs to fight against the Curse and the battle wages on. Dino vs Dino! Soldier vs Soldier! Their knowledge of the future will help them survive in the past! The three time periods have now merged into a divergent timeline, the past and future will be fought in an all new, all different present! For more info on all CORPS!

I think it was brilliant to show Willie before the HK Toy Fair because it keeps the interest going for the fans without revealing much and helps in kind of a dead time of year. To be clear though I do understand why they aren’t showing certain items. I wish I could see more, because these figures and vehicles have a lot of potential for custom work.
The vehicles are spectacular custom fodder. So far I've used the vehicles to flesh out my cobra motor pool. I carved up a couple Lanard jeeps to make a missile launcher HISS variant, sort of like the arctic HISS variant released years ago. The truck from the 4 vehicle assault pack is my new cobra stinger, and it's a great counter to the Jaks Halo Warthog. I used the turret from one to make another HISS variant while the original truck is now more of troop transport. I'll just paint the remaining truck so I'll have a couple Stinger variants. I actually passed on purchasing the Fang re-release because I'd already painted a couple Chap Mei mini-copters. They look considerably more robust than the Fang. I'm looking forward to customizing some to look like destroyed husks after a Hulk rampage or a battle |

The figures aren't worth squat. I use a couple to drive/pilot vehicles with completely opaque enclosed cockpits because why waste a good cobra trooper?

Not at all, I know collectors buy products by lanard. Doesn't bother me that they do customs. Not at all.
The problem that adult collectors have are they think that every product is based on adult collectors and while other companies do niche sales, lanard continues to concentrate on what matters. Bringing Quality products to children. Do lanard products have adult collectors? Yes, but sales aren't hinged on that like other companies are. For more info on all CORPS!

Whispering Willie’s time in the Corps! seems to have worked out for him. Despite being caught up in a time crisis, he does have pants now. That ain’t bad.

the aliens line was the only thing lanard ever produced that i'd been impressed with that i could actually buy. too bad they decided to jump to a different scale.
the other thing is the gryphon. but both are not something im going to chase down, and shop at one teacher supply website on the internet or maybe a calendar pop up store or get someone else to buy it for me and ship it to me. nothing from lanard is worth that. |
