If so, where (what state what store)? 2.) I was in TRU tonight and saw a new chap mei looking tank that resembles a T-72...it even has external fuel tanks. The only reason I passed was because it has that B.S. electronic sounds feature. I might get it tomorrow....but I need a better look at it.....

Next to the Hind helicopter, it's one of those Russion military vehicles that has earned a place in Western pop culture. I don't really know why. Did Rambo blow a lot of them up, perhaps ? Edit: One wikipedia search later, I now know it was also Iraq's main battle tank. Perhaps that's why it's so known.

I got the sense these were packed with a different wave, not the wave3 we are most familiar with. I didn't bother with them since I already have a few of these guys in blue.
