Did you order directly from MC Toys or did you find it elsewhere?

Wanted to let you know that Cotswold just got in the bots to this line.

So are they going to carry the vehicles?

I was told they're negotiating what can be carried and is replinishable

I ordered one of these a few years back from MC Toys, along with a couple of the figures and the little armored segway vehicle (for Cobra Commander to tool around in). I paid like 100 bucks total for the whole order and shipping was free so it was incredibly worth it. It took some time for initial processing, but everything went super smooth when it came to shipping.

The AMB is a beast in hand, coming in at 16" long with plenty of space in the back for troops. The controls are bit bare bones though, it has a fairly large cockpit area with a sliding driver seat, but that's it. No other built in chairs for co-pilots, but tons of space and control panels if you want to squeeze a seat of your own in. It also has two hatches in the very front for figures to sit in, but they hang halfway out and there's no detailing inside of em.

While nice an all, I will admit the price is a bit steep. It costs just as much as a MARV, but I feel the latter is overall a better value (though I don't have one in hand just yet, but it does come with more stuff). But you won't feel cheated if you shell out the $80 for the AMB, especially if you consider that shipping from MC Toys is surprisingly free.

As for the figures themselves, they are fun...but awkward. They definitely feel like "value" figures, but far better quality then the regular army men that come with WPK stuff. But their accessories like to pop off, their articulation is pretty basic compared to other 1:18 stuff, and those legs are just weird. Like the entire lower half of the figures feel like they belong on a different toy altogether. If those big robo-boots were a detachable mech suit piece or something, or their arms had a similar bulk to em it'd be fine, but as is, they just look kind of silly.

Sadly, they haven't seemed to expand the line at all, which is a shame because there could be some really nice potential vehicles in this line. As is, it's just a buncha one man rides, the big AMB and the most awkward looking "space ship" I've ever seen.

Zie, thanks for the details. I was hoping someone had them for sale domestically. I have a few of the figures that I bought from MC Toys a few years ago as well and share the same opinion as you do on the figures. I really like the design but the execution is a little lacking.
