25mm Trucks for games

For those of you in North America, Kay-Bee Toys is having a sale (well
at 
least the local ones here in Central Virginia are) and one thing I found

there that may interest folks on this list is the Matchbox/Jurassic Park

Raging Dino sets--they come with a truck (approximately 25mm in scale)
and 
some dinasour figures--for $2.99 US.  The trucks are a little cheesy
(fakey 
dinasaur onboard and all) but can be easily taken apart and
converted.I'm 
working on converting three of the "Tatra" looking trucks into ESU
tactical 
transporters.  And as a bonus you get some small dinasours that can be
used 
as alien fauna.

For those of you that frequent dollar stores, there are sets for sale
from 
"Yudo Toys" that have a pretty good looking HMMWV in them, and there are
four 
different opnes--a cargo transporter, a hard-shell top, a canvas top,
and a 
TOW carrier.  The packages also come with a few 25mm scale plastic WW2 
figures, but these are really bad.  The same company also sells sets
with the 
same figures but with either a poor Merkava or a poor T-62 in them.  A
little 
judicious modification can turn either of the latter into passable game 
vehicles.

Anyway, I thought I'd pass on this little note for those of you that
need 
cheap targets...uhh, I mean vehicles...for Stargrunt 2.

ps-working on these items has reminded me of how much I like modifying 
vehicles (especially when compared with painting figures).
