I shall have to make an investment on payday...just need to source the 25th Zartan and the rest of The Dreadnoks now...

No worries :)
It looks pretty good in the packaging. But there my knowledge ends.

I have the Anti-Aircraft gun and Earth Borer ones both of which still wind up nicely. They were far more cheap to buy than the vehicles and also a fun addition.
http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87/motori ... back.shtml here are the first series.
I never thought of them being a nod to this, such a dumbass :P I got Rope Crosser, Rope Walker, Mountain Climber and Helicopter! Yeah they totally rule, specially the rope ones :D

Ahhh, have you got a timeframe roughly? I might hold on and try and buy them all in one go (Dreadnoks, Zartan and Trakker)

Hahah yeah, it's just even in the more obscure designs of the backpacks you could still see what they were supposed to be...but with the Trakker backpack it kind of looks like someone put Condor through Seth Brundle's telepods :D

Don't get me wrong I'll still be buying it, it's just from the package it looks a little "abstract"...

I'll buy Buzzer and Trakker from you this week then :D

Do you/are you able to put items aside for people? If so I'd be keen to grab Torch and then Ripper & Zartan when they each arrive...

Thanks man, appreciate it! I'll be investing in Trakker and Buzzer by Wednesday too...but they should be there still so I'll grab them from the storefront right?

Cheers for your help.
