I was checking out FoxHole and I stumbled upon this Stryker Tank coming soon by Forces of Valor
I just watched Alien vs Predator 2 the other night and some of the characters were riding around in one of these and they called it the Stryker so I went to the net and hunted for a 1/18 stryker and voila

US Army Armored Vehicle comes complete with:

Rotating Kongsberg remote weapon station with M2HB .50-cal MG or MK19 40mm grenade launcher,
8 x Rolling wheels,
Opening hatches that fit 4-inch size action figures,
Painted in Olive-Drab camo paint scheme with authentic US markings,
Rugged plastic construction.

also I was wondering if maybe we could have a vehicle subsection somewhere on this site
(I'm a vehicle nutcase , vehicles are one of the major reasons I made the switch to 1/18 scale figures )

That's pretty sweet. It reminds me of the A.P.C. at the end of Blood Harvest on Left 4 Dead.

Well that's good news. I've been using a BBI Marine LAV as a modded "Stryker" and it just doesn't work as well as I'd like.

Let's hope this one has more opening hatches and is a little sturdier. If so, I'll end up getting a few and modding them to fit different missions.

Thanks for the heads up! Hope they're easy to find when they start hitting the shelves.

I'm looking for something like the Warthog that will hold at least 6 figures
and if this thing functions like what I saw in AVP2 it just may do the trick

Sub section? Does broken and left at the FOB count as a subsection? I'll take an LAV over a striker any day of the week.

FOB ??

Honestly, how many of us would guy an ARAH/25th on of these?

Kinda like a miniature Rolling Thunder and a Warthog's love child...

-- Just like the (piece-of-crap) Humvee, and the Apaches that used to crash every 5 minutes during Desert Storm, the Stryker had/has a LOT of issues - especially when it first deployed.

How many figures can you get in that LAV ?
and I'll say it again at the risk of being kicked out of the Pitt
I don't really care for GI JOE vehicles

_________________

The BBI LAV will only fit one in the turrets (only one hatch) but about 4-6 in the troop section in the back (tight fit, though.)

_________________

one site is saying that the LAV has 3 hatches and will hold an additional 6 figures

_________________

so they are actually releasing this?

I remember last year they said this vehicle had been cancelled....?

FOB = forward operating base

I have two bbi LAVs. they each have one working hatch and a tight compartment in back that you could probably squeeze 6 figures in. RAH fit a bit better then 25th. there is another turret hatch and a driver hatch but neither work.

Now my Bradley's each have two hatches in the turret, and one for the driver and fit about 6 guys in the back.

and I have something from the M113 family from walmart that holds a good bit of figures.

but yeah, my time in the sand made my love for the Stryker evaporate like a puddle on Eva Mendez's tummy (you cause she's friggin hot), couple that with all the controversy on how they got into the Army in the first place...

I actually don't hate the Humvee, I just think it's being used incorrectly. by think I mean know.

The 1:32 scale version got axed.





21st Century and Bbi both made different versions of the Bradley.
