Starting this thread to show that there is still a lot of activity in the 1:18 scale military themed toy area. It's just moved into the more expensive and higher quality adult collector market.

Marauders Inc. is still creating new products. Some of us have invested in the WW2 themed products.

Joy Toy has their Dark Source and Hardcore Coldplay premium figures and vehicles.

There are also Acid Rain World toys and Planet Green Valley toys.

Hopefully, people will share their love of this genre here as well.

And on the inexpensive and brick/mortar side (not to mention child-oriented):

Lanard continues their The Corps line along with their other licensed products (Kong Skull Island, Rampage, Jumanji, & Aliens).

Chap Mei and their various products under different names at Wal-Mart, Big Lots, Dollar Tree, etc...

World Peace Keepers Toys can also be found at Big Lots and online.

Sender, thanks for the reminder of those lines as well. Despite Hasbro, the scale is definitely not dead.

Big Lots have the Army Rangers & Navy Seals 4-pack sets. Not sure the price because they weren’t tagged yet.

I actually picked up the Seals from K-Mart a couple of years back, they may still stock them too.

Nice to see Elite Force still in circulation! Thanks Il Cattivo!

I'm probably one of the last persons to be starting this thread, but there really needs to be some display of support here as well.

Just threw a bunch of figures and a vehicle together. I recently decided to get on board with the Joy Toy lines after getting their Cross Fire swat figures. Love that they are so posable.

LordMudd, post a pic if you have one.

Jazzware Fortnite is another line with Military styled figures.

Attahed a pic of the geared up Planet Green Valley Combat Uniform figure next to a Marauder's Valkyrie and a JoyToy Cross Fire female.

Picked up this U.S. Army brand set from TJ Maxx.

Haven't yet opened it but will take pics when i do. Features include the back door hatches open and the entire rear cargo cover is removable.

They also had some smaller vehicles (jet, copter, jeep, lav, etc) along with figure sets (k9 unit, drone, jetpack,).

For those interested, I was at two different Ross stores and both had HUGE offbrand 1/18 scale box sets full of figures, accessories, vehicles, and a playset. All in the clothing aisles trying to entice parents to buy it for xmas. The figures were meh and kitbash fodder only, but the sets could be used for lots of stuff. Don't remember the "brand".
