Lots of nice pics of the new product. Return of the mini-Hind! I think the PTE A-10 looks better on many levels; this one seems too chubby and short.

There was a pic of it on the thread a while back when they FIRST hit Target.. The A-10 is a MINI A-10 though can't remember if its smaller or same size as the Terminator one ... but ALL the vehicles are MINI... aka KIDDIE BBI ..

Definitely bigger than the Terminator one!!! That probably wins the award for the most under-scaled 1:18 vehicle ever that somehow managed to still get a 1:18 figure inside it.

And yes, the vehicles are all the kiddie-line BBI, previously called "Combat Command" I think when it was previously released at Target a number of years ago. But for this go-round, they kept the kiddie vehicles, but used their much more realistic and better-articulated Elite Force figs. Kind of a weird mix to have great figs mixed in with sub-par vehicles.

But I still want that Hind!

My Oktober Guard has a trio of them to use.

Can't wait to see these new BBiET stuff on the shelves.

Aren't these figures t-crotches? Combat Command had the t-bar ball jointed legs (though, they didn't function well based on the few I own).

Nope they are using their good figures.

They are T-crotch though.

Yeah I guess those are T-crotch.
I didn't find any of them today.

Just found these today. Picked up a single and the 5-pack. They seem to be their high-end figures, just with weaker paint aps. I haven't opened them yet, so I'll know more later. Package says 20 points of articulation. The accessories look REALLY good. Exactly like the ones from the high-end line.

They also had the APC, dune-buggy and two helicopter sets. First two were $9.99, others were (IIRC) $19.99. I think the APC could be used for Combat Heroes, as it seems to big for Kreo/COD MegaBlocks, etc.

You haven't seen the Abrams for the Call of Duty MegaBlock tank then... that APC won't even fit for the Kreo sized ones if you compare the Abrams to it.. lol

Yes, I've seen it, and the new Blackhawk, but not out of the box. I hear you on sizes, though.

Are these at Target? That little A-10 might make a good Powerglide Crossover.

Yes, they are out now. Though, you're mileage may vary as to what you find. The store nearest me didn't have the A-10 or hind on shelves yet. (shelf tag says $30)

Locally, Targets are still in the midst of resets. I've been to three in two days. One had bbi stuff next to StarWars, another still with staff rearranging the aisles had bbi with the LEGOs, and another had nothing.

I found the whole assortment at Target last night, so they're starting to hit the stores right now. The lack of paint apps is bad, but something about the plastic looks really cheap, as well. From what I can tell, they molded the details on the 6-wheeled ATV, instead of using the parts of the original and I noticed the same thing with the ranger-bike that comes with the chopper. So instead of buying most of the line-up, I basically want the night-vision guy from the 5-pack and maybe a random figure to harvest accessories. I was expecting a bit more quality for $5, but I guess $5 doesn't get you as much as 5-7 years ago
