Any suggestions for 1/32ish tanks and APCs. I recently found a New Ray LAV type vehicle I'm happy with. Does anyone make an abrams type tank. I have found M48/M60 types and a strange German type panzer with lots of machine guns.

These kockoffs of an old micromachines playset can be found cheaply in various places. Gerardo at TSD carries them but they sell out fast:

Forces of Valor/Unimax became Bravo Team…which you can find at Toys R Us and Target. TRU generally has the vehicles. They make a nice Abrams.

Also..found these "shueng hui" 1:35 vehicles while bumbling around Ebay:

I suspect some price shopping might find them elsewhere.

I like the missle launcher..but $18.99 plus $8 shipping is a bit steep. I got several tanks from TSD..the germanish tanks and the M48/60s. I'm going to hit all the local dollar stores and the like in my area.

I have been using the Classic Toy Soldiers armor for my upscaled version of Memoir 44. They do WW2 vehicles, mainly the most popular tanks—they scale a little less than 1/35th if I remember correctly. They are basically two pieces—tank body and turret. They aren't the most detailed but they work nicely for what I am doing and come in around $12 each. You can see a few pics of the Soviet T-34s on my blog site.

They will be in the Toy section (my blog covers a lot of different ground).

How different are the cts vehicles compared to the bmc? Mostly what I'm looking for are vehicles that can take some abuse, like accidently falling off a table or moderate handeling ect ect. Some of my FOV models would break everytime I just picked one up so I sold them off.
