As far as military toys 1/18 and 1/6, but I will pick up an occasional piece in an odd scale if I like it, then there's also Star Wars (sold my collection of about 700 figures earlier this year and just started over a few months ago), Justice League and varrious older toy lines.

I had the MASH set back in the 80's when it came out (I had the whole line), the figures are nowhere near as detailed as what's common today, had pretty much small joe (pre swivle arm) articulation, but suffered from (like most TV show based action figures of the day) creepy smiling headsculpts. As ...

Keep checking the tan Imperial Marines, every once in a while I see a green uni figure show up in their packaging. So far I've only seen the officer, guy with submachinegun and the rifleman w helmet. It's usually 1 or 2 green guys mixed in with a caseload of tan guys, I spotted these at 2 different ...

Cool, more new stuff that the Wal-Marts in my area will never get. Still haven't seen the last wave of vehicles (Dodge and Hummers) or the BOB series 2 figs, but we've got tons of Market Garden, Imperial Marines and West German Starfighters.

TKO, At KB Toys today I saw some 32X cold steel tanks, some of the 32X planes and the micro tanks. I haven't seen any 21st Century products for sale at KB since the heyday of the 1/6th scale line. Are they again going to be an official retailer for 21st Century Toys, and are they going to be caring ...

I'm not a chopper expert so I can't comment on accuracy, but I do have one and I like it a lot. Fully assembled out of the box it's pretty impressive (this is the biggest chopper I have, I imagine next to the Apache or Blackhawk it would look puny), the top mounted sensor pod adds a lot of hieght to...

I think those littlebirds are the Powerteam ones repacked as TRU's inhouse brand. I saw 2 other sets one had a Mutt and Zodiac raft and the other had the FAV/dune buggy thing. Those littlebirds don't look bad for 10 bucks, although the pilots would have to be replaced.

I figured it was a modern vehicle because the 1/6th version came out first as part of the modern line, I think it was even refered to as the Ranger super jeep for a while before its release. I just wanted to know if the SEAL figure was complete because with the Platoon stuff on the way later this ye...

Question about 21st century Navy SEAL Mutt

I've seen boxed pics of this set and see it comes with the 'Nam SEAL figure, does it include all of his assessories, the various pouches and Stoner MG ? And overall for anyone who has it, is it worth getting ?

Found the Old Crow Mustang and the Black Kiowna at a TRU near me, no new figures though. I was really surprised to find these as new items tend to hit the west coast first and slowly make their way east. The black chopper is cool, I never got the OD one so I'm guessing the only difference is the col...

Question about the Japanese XD figures

I have a bunch of the Imperial Army figures and they have two different shades of uniform, a green and a khaki. From what I gather these are the series 1 and series 2 repaints. Recently I spotted a few of the Imperial Marines figures in green like the army figures were. They were mixed in with some ...

That's what nailed it for me. Hasbro is always saying it's too expensive to make the new tools for all new sculpts, here's some repaints let's up the price a buck. And vehicles forget it, they don't even want to touch them anymore. All I hear is the market won't support vehicles, well Ninja Turtles ...

Star Wars figures for sale

I didn't put this in the trade/sale forum as it's not really military related but after a lot of consideration I've decided to get out of the Star Wars hobby and I'm selling off my entire collection of over 500 figures. They are all from the modern era (1995 to present) and reflect all 6 movies. 90%...

I'm all ways glad to find new figures but I am a little disapointed with these, mainly that all the assessories don't match up with the body used, so there are a lot of unsightly holes on the figures. And I'm personly a little biased against them as the only one I bought so far, had a large square p...

I think I know what you're talking about, they were more like a soft foam rubber than styrofoam, I don't remember the name, I had a set that was a ground base with a few buildings and a couple of planes. I'm pretty sure they were made by Mattle becuase they made something simular for their Battlesta...

I still have a few of these, there were army ones molded in green and SWAT ones molded in blue, I still have some of the army guys and a jeep. I'll see if I can drag them out and snap a photo, then all I have to do is figure out how to post a photo in a thread. http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/397...

Are the Market Garden paras part of the A Bridge Too Far line or are we going to get 2 different assortments based on O.M.G. And are they all US troops or will there be more Germans too?
