So I said to him I said: "Buy me a dune buggy, that I might drive through sand."

Continuing my bbi buying spree, I picked up the Elite Force "USMC" Dune Buggy(as the package declares). Here is the Dune Buggy with a few Joes in it. It can hold two figures up front, with one in the gunner's chair over the engine. Detail is very nice, with attention paid to the engine, roll cage, weapons and interior(such as it is). The paint appilication is suggestive of a heavily used vehicle, not clean in any respect.

The gear that comes with the buggy is pretty nice. Weapons that come with it are: 1 M-2 .50 Caliber Browning "Ma Duece", 1 M-60, 2 AT-4 anti tank missles, 1 M-4 w/ M-203 Grenade launcher, 1 MP5. The latter two guns are painted tan, for desert usage. There is a roof rack that holds the Ma Duece and the two missle launchers, with the M-60 connecting to a back arm for rear fire.

Size wise, its not very big, but it has a nice weight to it. The tires are rubber, but the front lacks steering. Nor does the suspension work. It looks fragile, but its actually durable. It comes with one figure, dressed in desert BDUs. He comes with a ProTec helmet and goggles. Same articulation as the pilot figure, but overall a nice looking figure. For $14.99, the Dune Buggy is not a bad deal.

I also picked up a weapons pack which contained: 1 M-249 SAW, 1 M-79 Grenade Launcher, 2 M-4 w/ M-203(1 Black, 1 Tan), 2 M-14(1 Wood Color, 1 Tan), 4 Pistols(2 with flashlight attachments), and 8 Flashbangs. For $4.99 a very good deal, since they are compatible with G.I. Joe figures(except the too small handguns).

Here's Flint, Lady Jaye and Rock and Roll using some of the new weapons: L-R: Flint, Lady Jaye, Rock and Roll.
