That's quite a mouthful! About a year ago, I got this amazing toy unopened and with a box in pristine condition for about $150. The box price tag said something like "Kaybee Toys $15". I wish I had kept the box. I won't apply the stickers until I get a showcase, this way the stickers don't collect dust. This vehicle is not for GI JOEs but it could be modified to fit Joes and small vehicles. I plan on eventually acquiring the collection and army building the smaller sets of course.

This vehicle playset consists of a motorized tank that is pretty freaking sophisticated. It can move forward and reverse at varying speeds. If you don't have batteries, that's fine because the sophisticated and versatile switch (for a 1980s toy) still allows you to roll the treads. The tank has a cleverly hidden cockpit that holds 2 tiny figures. The playset unfolds into a big ass station with ramps, working winch, radar tower, command consoles, refueling bays, etc. There are cannons and missiles everywhere so this vehicle playset is no sitting duck. My only complaint is these 4 little black antennas that attach to the 4 corners of the vehicle. The problem is that they virtually fall off due to poor design; thus, I don't bother with them. I also wish this toy came with more figures and at least 1 vehicle. By the way, the tiny figures are about the size of a U.S. penny.

One of the BEST toys ever. This is why i have such a soft spot for mini action figures. They allow companies to create vehicles like this while still maintaining a price that parents wont run away from. In my dreams i wish Stompers Mega Star (Future Force) line had been merged with Starcom.

of course my young mind would have exploded from the awesomeness.

Poetflint i'll keep an eye out for you as i've seen a number of these over the last year and a half both online and off for decent prices.

So awesome, it makes me weep with joy for the 80's.

Kids today, your toys suck.

I don't remember this at all. I kinda recall some futuristic Stompers with giant wheels, about an inch 1/2 tall. I have 2 original Stompers and one of those garish re-releases from a few years back I'd been meainign to repaing. One of my favorite toys as a kid.

Sounds like a cool playset. Any chance you still have the pictures so the broken image links can be fixed? Thanks.

I have that!!!!!!

I've wondered what it was from.

I thought about turning it into a Techno-Viper repair tank/rearming vehicle.
