It was here 4000 years ago the son of Satan was born, the parents sacrificed and the village soon to disappear, Judas Beelzebub Marshall would soon become myth a name whispered in the shadows a story to frighten your children, unknown to many he would be the owner of a toy related website in the future.

Where did you get the tank transporter and trailer?
What line is this?
What type is the tank, looks a little like a US WWII Sherman
I'm finding that Chap Mei, Lanard, PTE etc are filling the holes (?) that hasbro doesn't fill and items like this fit in perfectly with the more reality based AF early waves.
Wilkinsons currently do a little set with a nice APC vehicle that would go well with the tank trailer.

Poundstretcher they had loads a stuff over Xmas but it is nearly all gone now. On the plus side anything you can find is half the original price in clearance

I'm still mystified why the Thundercats figures tanked sales-wise. I think they're decent figures and the TV show was good but I've watched the figures get cheaper and cheaper over the months and it seems that retailers can't give them away. What gives?
On a related note, Asda are selling most of their action figures for £5 now, including new TMNT, Marvel and most Star Wars Clone Wars stuff. The vintage stuff is still £8.97 though.

They were ok but most weapons were made too cheaply and didn't sit well in hands also other parts like Mummra's skirt kept falling off his hips. The annoying thing is wave 2 disappeared too soon and they put S-Slithe in it the only one I got was Claudius.
