The price screams 1/72, so I assumed a typo...but look at the dimensions...

Looking at other retail sites, I found this same item listed @ 1:72 scale for same 5.99 price. I think the Flying Mule has the WRONG scale on their site.
Example:

Sorry to burst your bubble...

Agree on that price, but the two toys are definitely different toys. One's possibly a prototype of the other being a production piece, but they're not the same item for sure. I doubt they'd roll an M113 out for no real reason or toy line to go around it though.
The dimensions on the one site's listing (10x6 in) could be the packaging of the item. I have an M113 from 21st but don't recall its dimensions and it's away in a dark corner somewhere. 10x6 doesn't seem unreasonable I suppose.

I just ran the stock number and the name "Unimax" it is a 1/72 scale model, they show them on ebay. It would have been nice.

Looks like TFM changed their description... A new 1:18 M113 would be neat, however, I'm still satisfied with my 21c examples, both of which have been customized. Based on their other offerings, a 1:18 scale Bravo Team M113 would likely have 1-2 opening hatches, rotating turret and tracks and that's about it.
