There is a camel version of that set too (instead of the horse)

Hmmm their store locator doesn't seem to work for me.
Anyway they open up around Xmas time in some malls.
I guess the one closest to me closed. None in Illinois anymore.

Hopefully they will open up again closer to Xmas.

The buggy isn't their original AWE Striker knock-off, but a more hollow looking newer mold. Neither seemed worth $10 each.

The body on the snowmobile is neat but it has back wheels instead of treads and the skids on front are stationary. They have three new head sculpts all blonde haired and blue eyed. One looks alot like duke. The helmet and hat that come with the three pack are soft like their vests and belts. Love the hat btw.

I didn't buy it though, because to be honest it looked really "cheap". The wheels instead of treads look bad, and the body didn't seem to have much to it. __________________ My Flickr Page "It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today."

From what I could tell it replaced the camel set in this years small assortment , I remember when those small packs were like $3.50. $5 for the parachute guy seems way too much. Others are kayak, horse, motorcycle, lean-to camp, paratrooper with working chute. Update: Defense sets with barricades & 3 troopers for $13. Little Bird (armed version), Jeep with trailer sets $17 Dune Buggy (sand rail)/ Chinese utility vehicles for $10 That's it. Nothing new. Didn't make it over to the newer bigger Big Lots.

I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr... Poopy Pants?

They had the same old Humvees ($20), though no covered cargo ones...maybe they sold them already, and the 3 pack carded figures. There's a new arctic forces 3 packs which includes the snow mobile figure and two guys with new heads, one with a removable cap, the other with a removable helmet. Why the one guy remains hatless, I don't know. Also, they are all blonds! Unlike the older teams, there's only the 3 heads, not 6 different ones. Their other gear looks to be the same as Desert Marines, which they replace in case assortments from what I could tell. So you have 3 arctic camo guys with a sandbag emplacement. $7 a set. I recall when they were $5.
