Anyone happen to see this??.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Ultimate-Soldier-1- ... dZViewItem
Man, this thing is huge, the guy's kid could almost ride the thing!! I have no interest in this scale, but it is pretty cool looking all the same. I am curious to see how high the bidding will go on this thing, and the shipping is probably going to be in the neighborhood of at least $40 or more, it weighs 35 lbs. plus, my guess is by the time the bidding ends and you add in the shipping, someone is gonna be the proud owner of $300 or so worth of toy. Whatever makes you happy I guess, but 300 bucks buys a lot of 32X and XD :shock:

It is a very good 21C vehicle and at $265 (30 minutes to go) it's a fair price.

This vehicle is not very popular with 1/6 guys because it is sized incorrectly. It is not true 1/6. True 1/6 would make it even larger.

I feel it's a great vehicle and will get one of these days when I can find more room for my 1/6 toys. 8)

I don't doubt you, there probably are not all that many of them around, this is the first I've seen on e-bay. Out of curiosity I checked the shipping based on the box dimensions and weight that the seller provided, and the cheapest UPS ground service for it was nearly $70, OUCH!! Man , you have to really want one of these things bad to shell out 335 clams to get one. Anyway, as long as the buyer is happy, I suppose that's all that matters.

OOOPS....it would seem a slight update is in order here.... The winning bid on this thing was nearly $383!! Tack on another $70 or so (at the cheapest UPS rate) for shipping, and the delivered price on this baby is at least $453 bucks!! Whoa Nelly..... I wonder what these things sold for when they were new, anybody know??

I have seen the 1/6 vehicles @ TRU around 2000 and they were going at that time for about 150.00 each.

I watch these babies as they come up. $383 + shipping is steep, even with the original box, not too far out of line for eBay though. 8)

A couple has come up in the last couple of weeks, usually listed under "tank" or "car" instead of "Bradley" or "M-2". They usually go for around $250 without shipping. One NIB went for $300 earlier this year, but it was NIB. I recently got a WSC NIB (thanks to a member of this board) and opening it was like opening buried treasure. :P

I erased this listing before I checked if the buyer was outside the U.S., if that was the case shiping would be obsene.

I have very few 1/6 boxes, they are just too big. A couple of Stuarts, a couple of WSC's and a few CC's and you have most of a room taken up with just the boxes. I'd rather sell at a lower price without the box than store an empty box for years. :roll:

I just got one of these babies in the mail today. $200.00 shipped and it came with three nice tanker crewmen. It's a very nice tank if a little under scale. Looks great next to the 1/9th Abrams and my Hasbro Humvee. Now I just have to give the Bradley a nice coat of desert tan.
