I picked up this weird little Chap Mei recon type vehicle Friday at Ross. I'll open it sometime this weekend and hopefully take a few more pics. Not sure if it's something really new or not, but I've never seen anything like it posted here before. It did have a 2016 copyright date on the box. I was also surprised to find a couple of other vehicles there in the Soldier Force series packaging/color schemes as I thought they were mostly sold overseas now. Out of the ones shown on the back, they had a few of the jet ski, one of the helicopters, and this thing I bought. There are a few other different vehicles I've never seen on the back of the box that look like they would make interesting customs for Joes.

A lot of the newer Chap Mei stuff is really cheap looking. I might pick up that Armoured Car just to get the sand channel for my older Chap Mei Armoured Car.

Lol, they may well be. Chap Mei might be Chinese for "Really Cheap" for all I know. Seriously though, this is the newest thing from them I've seen in person, so I can't give an honest opinion on any of the other newer stuff. I've yet to see the new Chap Mei/True Heroes battleship and jet in store here. This vehicle is not as bad as I thought once I opened it and messed with it some. It's getting customized eventually anyway, so I'm always looking at any of the Chap Mei, Lanard, or pretty much any compatible toy vehicle line as potential customs either as a whole or like you, just for parts. I tried to find my older armored car to take comparison pictures with the channel part for you, but I couldn't find what box it's packed up in. If anyone cares to see more pics of this out of the box and a quick review, Here's the link: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/toys/4...lots-pics.html

I saw the a10 plane and the hind , as well as the huge tank and the mini vehicles like the one above, at my Ross yesterday. Already had two tanks considered the hind and a 10 but decided to hold off because they are scaled so weird and big lots should be restocking with pte stuff soon.

I wonder what other stores beside Ross may have these? Does Ross have a sister chain, like how it works with TJ Maxx/Marshalls?

I'm not sure. However, since Marshall's was just a few stores down from Ross, I ran into it also and came up with nothing there.

I'm guessing you're referring to the BBI stuff Target used to carry(That Toys r us is supposed to have now)? I originally went into Ross looking for that BBI tank since my Toys r us never stocked those in store. All I found BBI there, was a single small dune buggy and the glider/parachute guy from them. I'm also looking forward to seeing what new PTE stuff shows up at Big Lots this year.

I picked up an Elite Force Tank and the A-10 for 15.99 two days ago. They are out there.

Wow, that's a really good deal for that tank! Hopefully they'll stock those here soon.
