You afraid I'm encroaching on your territory?

I have to say, the most fun I’m having with the ATV is using it with the Halo Spartans. They make good scouts for the warthogs.

Family Dollar is also receiving the Kharn figures from the Dollar Tree "Final Faction" line!

These were spotted in Clifton, NJ.

According to my son, the figures showed up at our Family Dollar but not the cart.

According to your fellow JoeCustoms board member, your son is keeping the cart for himself.

Nah, he's not interested in them (other than my interest).

i found the arrow karts and new wave of figures today at a dollar tree we hardly ever go to. they had one case of karts and accessory sets and i got all 16 karts and 9 sets of add-ons. i'm putting 10 karts and 5 sets of parts up for passing to others if the need arises in a future gp. one set i'm playing with, and one set i'm giving to our 9yr old granddaughter to "build" with me. the kart should be the toy of the year, decade maybe! so hard to believe it is $1.

i also got:

2 mech dogs. i am pretty disappointed in him. other than a cool head and derpy chihuahua there is not much to him. maybe it was just built up in my head too much, or maybe i can tweak him.

2 purple guys. he is awesome. no one has mentioned (or i missed that) his head turns 180* to show another kahrn looking face. i really like all his accessories. his gun might be my favorite of the line. it looks like a laser tag pistol. the hood is so nice, and his wrist blades are ok too.

i red guy. he has an awesome rifle, 2 ok pistols, and a small backpack. i like it on directly on his back more than on his pack.

lastly i got my first girl and the blue winged guy from wave1. the girl has the best painted face by far, and her pack that holds her swords could be real useful. i need a few more of that piece. the blue guy is ok, but only really wanted his headsculpt.

i also went to ollies for the first time today, but left empty handed. i almost bought a few things, but i'm glad i saved that money for the ff stuff!

some FF pics!

first thing i used from my kart kit was these double guns. a wip robot made from bionicle? parts.


dog mech w/destro for size comparison

and with my stalled robo mutt. i'll probably bash them together


the karts are so cool as is. the chassis is well worth the $1. here i added vamp wheels using heatshrink to snug them up.


mock up with pte semi wheels.

and playmobil wheels

and some unknown tank treds


here are a bunch of random bodies i had in my parts just sitting on the chassis for a wheelbase reference.

now my madmax porsche will get made!

jumanji/corps jeep

animal planet jeep

corps mini tank

random small armored thing

missile launchers from larger scale hummer. kind of a drone combat vehicle idea.

and a vintage mini rc. you small scale guys can still use this chassis!


i don't have any joe shells to mock up. i'm eager to see what ideas others come up with!

Ok, that was great.

I did not realize Churro comes with the little dog and that he fits in a cockpit on the mech dog’s back. I need this now more than ever.

I’m noticing the wave 1 weapons packs are few and far between now. I found a couple to go with the dogs, that was it. Still none of the cart sets.

I just picked it up today. It's a fun little piece.
