I've also been wondering why there's a ramp on the back of the cab. My first guess would be to say that if a missile explodes on the launcher, or if it rotates and launches the missile behind the truck the slope would redirect the blast over the cab.

Very likely it's a blast deflector.

Went to big lots yesterday. Considering they already have their Christmas stock and it's all the same old equipment, I'm guessing this will end up like the j10 and we won't see it in the states. Bummer.

Has anyone found these in the states? Or know where they can be found to buy on-line? I found that mctoy website, but I think that is a wholesale as it seems like they only sell by case/pallet. Also not sure I really want to site up/buy on their site being a foreign and not knowing anything about them for safety reasons.

Also if anyone knows, is that the complete line? Or are there other items that mctoy doesn't have listed?

Thanks for any information,
momaw nadon

Guys over at Hisstank have bought individual items from the McToy website, but shipping is EXPENSIVE and they add PayPal fees to your total. I've only seen the Robot line on ebay, bought 2 of the mech suit dudes for $18 each w/free shipping.

The larger armored vehicle set was found in a US chain store . either earlier in this thread it was mentioned or in another World Peace Keepers thread on this forum ( a search should bring it up). I believe it came with one of the new protagonist characters / blue armored good guys . Other than that...the asian auction sites , Aliexpress or ebay are the places to go.

Tangentially related: recently (last week) i was informed Chinese toy manufacturers were having an increasingly hard time getting product carried by North American retailers that wasn't backed by a film or related to Marvel. We've all known this but this is the first time i was informed directly by a manufacturer .

Doesn't Marauder do some dealings with MCToy, at least for accessories? Maybe he could work with them to get some of these, too.

I believe he did try but they wanted him to order too much.
