Looks like the Whale and Mobat got together and had a LARGE baby....

That's pretty bitchin'! As no one says anymore. ;) First amphibious vehicle carrier in this scale?

Foam rockets?

Chap Mei and/or Power Team Elite make the type of stuff you wish Hasbro would. Even when a movie rolls around, Hasbro's new vehicles are mostly "meh" (Eaglehawk was nice...I guess...I never opened mine :p )

[COLOR=Red][SIZE=4][FONT=Verdana]I will get this and give away the tank. That LCAC is screaming for my Navy SEALs. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

I do not like it.
I do not see a great potential (as the C 130 and the Submarine), but expert customizers'd trasform it in a good Night ops. Hoovercraft.

Its a LCAC like from Issue #1.. you load up a Vamp etc or just troops for them to land on the beaches... ;) :p

No cannons, no missiles, no tanks (I hope 2 A.W.E. Strikers fit there), 2 hasbro or "Phantro's (from Hisstank)" customized Browning 50 cal. machine guns (from 25th) instead of the oversized cannons. Then I'd paint it all flat black or dark blue.
It'd be painted also with 2 or 3 versions of grey with geometric zones.

Eat your heart out, Tollbooth.

Nice the turret is optional.

Not as impressive as the hovercraft at the same price.

There's some goofy dart shooting fighter, too.

I never noticed their Huey Cobra knock-off before.

Single seat = not a KNOCK-OFF.. :p

I'll probably get the Bridge Layer vehicle and stick my FSS TollBooth in it. Mean while check this new aircraft out from Lanard Corps...

Animal Planet? Seems more like a SyFy original movies line! Just needs figures of Eric Roberts, Tara Reid and Ian Ziering.

I saw the Bridge layer and Hovercraft today. The sub and the old transport copter are on sale for $40. I remember the old version of that copter being $20 and I didn't buy it then. (the lack of window glass still annoys me, as it does on that corps plane)

NOT the first custom of the Hovercraft sorry... there's been two or three on Facebook before this was put on Hisstank.. :p

Someone was talking about getting two and putting them together to make even a larger/longer LCAC... haven't seen it done yet.. but sounds interesting..
