Small Scale Military Headquarters

So are you saying that if we see a desert tan Abrams, we should pick it up without hesitation?

Did you just say Abrams tanks were marked down to $20?

Ah, the Monkey. It doesn't get any better does it?

I can't order from the Monkey fast enough!

It's getting to the point where I'm averaging 1 Monkey shipment a week. Someone help get this Monkey of my back!

Aviation. Sigh.

Just let me know when they have some $15 Tiget tanks up for sale.

4-door? Do you have any pictures of this?

I dunno. Land rovers just seem too "safari" to me. Maybe if I was doing a sub-Saharan diorama...

Well then, let's make it interesting for them. Check this out. It's a book about gun trucks.

Sorry dude, sorry...

I just had never considered the option of buying a new one and beating it up.

Anybody know what year/model the militias are using these days?

You know what would be cool? A 1/18 scale beat-up pickup truck with a mounted machine gun. For insurgents, militias, and special forces units.

Now I would buy a lot of those. Comments?

Update: I've been playing with this cargo humvee and I love it. I am sooo going to buy the rest of them from Big Lots.

Why didn't anybody tell me how cool these things were?

Well, I picked on up today. It is very nice. A lot nicer than I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be made of some funky rubberized plastic. But it's cool.

There were 2 left on the shelf. I'm tempted to go back and clean them out.

Oh.

Please don't tell me that they're cool. This means I have to buy them. Aw man!

Oh really? Because I thought there was a Motorworks vehicle in there.

I was in BigLots today and was checking out the World Peacekeepers section. They had this green camo humvee which looked like a pretty good transport/cargo type humvee. I was tempted to buy it, but I wanted to check with you guys first. Is it worth it? I've been burned so many times by items that ha...

Ok, you can mock my sheer ignorance later, but what are those 1/18 scale vehicles in the photo? Who makes them??? I need to know!

I told you there was a sailor!

Check out this eBay auction. It will answer all your questions. ROFL

The green camo one is pretty sweet.

I don't remember what the line was called, but I do remember them. I don't know how "realistic" they would be compared to today's standards. The figures were pretty clunky as I recall, you could move the arms up and down, and the legs up and down, that's it. I think they had a service woman, a sailo...

The more FOV figures come out the more I want to buy more humvees. I want an entire convoy of like, 5 or 6 vehicles. Is this normal?

Maybe I'm totally ignorant, but when is this thing coming out?
