I got shown the prototype back in January, however if you think it's overpriced in the US, you won't be too thrilled to know the UK price swaps the £ sign for the $.

I've been told that since the banking system's gone tits up, people are buyng more antiques & collectables @ auction..they figure that bank interest rates being so low they may as well invest in something tangable with their money.
Due to the economic climate, sellers are selling to make up the shortfall in income, people with spare cash are reluctant to put it into the banks & are buying.

at last other people who actually understand what real talent is!!! (i.e. not him)
this loser has been praised by the press as the next big UK export to America, I mean WTF, then he stars in a film, and apparently has now launched his movie career over there.

Let the Americans keep him, if they get tired of him ,they can just light up his oiled up greasy hair and use him for a BBQ!

and he needs to come out of the closet if he hasn't already done so....

agreed - in my eyes probably the most disappointing of all the toys when the first one arrived - it looks like it should "spring" or sumfing, but no, it just sits there, getting dust under the pod-lid.

But it is f*gging cool to the max. Back to the good old days of over the top large toys that are too big to play with!

I think it is a way better vehicle than the Night Raven that was washed too hot.

"Honey, I shrunk the Nightraven!"

Actually found a Toy Master store yesterday
Like a miniature TRU but better.
Found some Gi Joe but it was £5 on top of this one

I know there is inflation and all that but can you really justify selling a jeep vehicle for £30 ??
Then again there were some of the World Peacekeeper A.P.C `s in there too, very tempting but I had to walk away
