Not sure if this has been covered but I just discovered that Marauders Gun-runners has two small 1:18 vehicles for sale, a 4-wheeler ATV for $3.99 and a motorcycle with a sidecar for $4.99! I know they make awesome weapons, but has anyone gotten one of these?
Check em out.

They bought a bunch of the PTE sets and broke them up for individual sale.

Ah, I thought they looked familiar. Well still a good deal for customs I would imagine. Especially if you can't find or don't want the whole PTE sets.

anyone have a picture of the motorcycle/sidecar combination with a 1/18 figure beside it?

That's a good idea since it is PTE we are talking about. I might pick up a few if the scale is right.

Hmm, scale looks pretty good to me. A little bit of customization and a coat of OD paint and they would look sweet I reckon. Thanks Morian.

These are great he has had them a a while now and i have picked a couple of ATV's up to convert for special forces use.
John has a deal with M&C toys who produce PTE and buys product directly from them. He's got some of the best PTE items on his site at the mo he's just got in the Fuel Barrells, jerry cans, Extandable ladder, Fire extiguisher, Chain Saw, Vests and SWAT figure. All great items! It's the perfect way of picking up multiples of these items when you don't want the rest of the set I just picked up 30 fuel Barrells and 50 jerry cans as well as a ton of other stuff.
the whole list of PTE items he has is here:

You've got an instant fuel dump! Watch out, those Jerries are liable to steal it all.

One thing you'll like about PTE vehicles and armor...1:18 scale figures CAN actually FIT, SIT, and RIDE in em without having to take the figures legs off

Hey Rows, spend a few more bucks and get the ERTL 1:18 ATV's at Walmart, they look like they are better quality than those marauders... it's just a thought...it might be worth checking out next time you are in your local wally, they sell for about $8 ea. and they had a Honda and a Polaris if I remember correctly, maybe others too.

Yeah I know the ones your talking about and they are nice. I'm mainly interested in the motorcycle/sidecar combo Marauder is selling.

Ordered 2 on the evening of the 5th and received the order today. Great service from Marauder, highly recommended. The cycles are on par size wise with the Miesto WWII Harleys. Had to take the legs off the guy in the sidecar at the knees. With a little work this will be a real nice piece especially since it's the only game in town for such a reasonable price. Regards...Bob
