Nope, thats Poundland you're thinking of Baron.

Poundstretcher is a similar sort of idea, they just do very cheap stuff (lots of items there are under a quid for instance). We have both in my town.

I checked today, my towns Poundstretcher does some of the range that this vehicle belongs to, but not this vehicle I'm afraid. The vehicles and figure for this range are pretty dreadful all told, but the weapons the figures come with are pretty sweet. I might buy a few packs just to equip some of my other AF/Gi Joe figures with some decent guns.

Still no joy here, according to vexardave@aol.com they're plentiful at US Toys R Us. I did discover this in the meantime though:

I have one which is a damn easy conversion to SAS due to the grey/black camo, by simply painting out the military star and replacing it with an SAS logo. I also painted the winch hook ( this actually winds back automatically ) and step yellow to maintain the scheme. The SAS Panther fits neatly inside along with a squad of 10 SAS troopers plus Chopper and Sparrowhawk in the cockpit, the rear gate dropping down and realising the Panther quite easily, which is good as the jeep and figure you get in the set are rubbish. The handle is a little off putting but as mentioned is easily removed and when retracted is not that bad.
what you've done sounds cool, got any pics?

All I need now is that massive SAS sticker from the Battle comics.

Recently I saw a Chap Mei Chinook for 19,95 EUR, that is 13,50 GBP! :) But Elite Force really rocks when it comes to reality! Great vehicles and excellent figures. Sorry me saying this, but its detail cannot be beaten bij AF.
