Hiya

While perusing my local branch of TK Maxx (United Kingdom) in the toys department (where I can occasionally be seen lurking, looking at giant plastic bugs and stroking my chin) I found a Terminator Salvation Deluxe Harvester for £12.99. It stands a mere 14" tall and looks rather groovy next to 28mm figures :) Not seen the film, but the robot's great!

Mine looks pretty nifty as it is, have to plan a way to bring it into the game as a small surprise…. :)

I found the flying thingy -- looks like a great generic Sci-Fi dropship -- at a TJ Maxx in the USA, pretty cheap.

AH yes, I want one of them too :) Mine didn't have one sadly. What sort of length is it?

These threads have links to photos of the flying H-K with different minis:

The Hunter Killer is about 12" long nose to tail, and 8" wide across the engine pods (so about 30 x 20 cm). I think it was $12.99, so not bad for a painted vehicle that big.

The body is pretty shallow, just a few inches deep, but I can imagine at least a couple of squads of men packed inside grumbling about the ride.

Maybe my missing the latest Terminator movie makes it easier for me to imagine it as a colonial marine dropship, but it does look quite a bit like the one from Aliens at a glance.

I bought one from the local Wally World when they were first released – haven't seen one since (the HK, not the harvester).

You could do some fun orky things with the Harvester.

I have yet to see a Harvester in person and I've looked a lot of places. The A-10 was pretty uncommon as well.

A great giant robot from a forgettable film!
