hi all, im new here, but have surfed the site alot in the past!

i noticed noone has commented on the new pte series. i thought i would post here, as the customizers here would do some interesting customs with the new vehicles, as seen here:

http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/view ... hp?t=15500 there is a picture link enclosed.

the vehicles look very cool, and im waiting for my helos, mbts and jets to arrive....

also, does anyone where i can find lanard corps vehicles online?

i figured the infantry fighting vehicle would be a good base for the oktober guard, or even as an urban vehicle for alley vipers. i also wondered if anyone has used 1/6 scale joe weapons as larger weapons on 3 3/4 inch customs?

i intend to make a khriantema (http://img.blog.yahoo.co.kr/ybi/1/24/56 ... 549473.jpg) custom using the lanard 'amphibious' vehicle as a base, with the radar from the joe equalizer. any suggestions for the missile tubes? i thought someone might know an appropriate 1/6 shoulder launched weapon i could use?

actually, these were scooped a few months ago, with a lot of communist and chinese weapons being made. but we didnt have a direct link to a sales spot.

Thanks a million!!!!

Not much to say about them, other than they've only shown up in New Zealand and European e-sellers.

Interesting choice in subjects. I'd probably go for the Type 98. It's not 21st, Bbi or even FOV, but it's still better than the Joe options.

It'll be nice when they hit the US. I hope Smalljoes or someone carries them.

I woner if the fact that this wave is mostly comnunist weapons and vehicles is the reason hit HASNT hit the U.S.? someone posed this info about them 4 or 5 months ago,.. the should have hit Massachustees by now (the us PTE Distribution is up here)

That was me!
I found out about them from a Yojoe.com member who is in New Zealand.
I'm betting we will see these at Big Lots for this year's Xmas offering of PTE stuff.
KB was the only place who actually had them in stock too.
Those are really pricey at that online UK store!
If any overseas members could help us. I'm sure we would be willing to trade something. ;-)

I sent an email this morning asking for shipping cost with the jet. I want the helicopter and infantry vehicle too, but I mostly just want the SU-27. I haven't heard anything from them.

Actually if anyone is up for a trade that's overseas I'll offer 3 of my display bases (pick any 3 you want) for 1 SU-27. I'll even throw in a couple vinyl decals for your car, computer, etc.

I'm a little disappointed, because the blurry little picture of the helicopter on that site that has them for sale made it look like we might have been getting a decent HIND, finally. Not the vehicle's fault, just my expectations. It's actually a cool little helicopter, and I may have to pick one or two up.

why not post the pictures ?
You are posting a link that leads to somewhere else where I again have to click another link to view the photos
are you posting these links to promote your site or something ?

i dont have a site. just thought id share the pics as i knew people are having a hard time to find pics, as i did till i found the vehicles. the reviews are also there, why not post the link? if you dont want to look, dont go there. i could care less. i spent 40 minutes waiting for the pictures to upload, after i had taken pictures and measurements for people..and you are getting annoyed because i put a link to a review with a picture link?

as i said, i have no site, and i also have no affiliation with any toymaker or distributor etc...if it bothers you to go to a link to a link, dont do it. if you want to copy paste the reviews, go ahead.
pics are here:

That SU 27 is probably the first vehicle in years I have actually had a desire for. Awesome.

being redirected multiple times is annoying when you are browsing the forum from a handheld , so its nothing against you
