yeah I got the Blackhawk from Lambs Toys last year.
Its a great looking vehicle, but most figures will fly around in the passenger compartment and the space b/w the facing seats is too small for my fat fingers!
I've had to open it up and modify that section, so now it only has 4 well spaced seats.
As it's coming up to Xmas - The Entertainer will stock up more again I presume? and Amazon does some of the larger sets -like the HQ.

Keeping this thread on topic, the Entertainer has started selling the NEW 2008 Corps figure/mini vehilce sets for £6 and Lanard have retooled the heads to look less stupid. They are also selling the NEW armoured Humvee type vehicle for £12 which most American customisers have turned into a Cobra Jeep:

Can anyone confirm which types of figures Instore/pound stretcher are selling e.g. is it the classic O-ring ones, or the new T-crotch ones?

thanks

I went to Poundstretchers in Norwich (there are also ones in Great Yarmouth & Lowestoft) & got one of the Vehicle & Figure packs, it was £3.99 & not £5.99 like I said in my original Post.

It is an "Attack Fighter" & comes with the "Bio-Tag" figure.

The plane looks ideal for a Red Shadow custom & if I can get some black paint I'll give it a go.

All the figures I saw had the T-Crotch.

Correction, my mistake, the figure is Victor "Vulture" Rokav not Bio-Tag.
Bio-Tag is what Lanard call his dog tags. these replace the cut out cards the Corps figures used to come with.

Figures are in at our poundstrechers
They had 3 different figure packs and a selection of carded figures at £5.99 and 99p each.
No vehicle packs tho.
Looks like our store will be changing to being called Instore as I noticed the till had that logo on the computer screen.
heers
