A recent lucky purchase, a brand new in the box, first strike 4x4 Jeep. It came complete with the full sticker decal sheet, which was still under the vehicle in the box!

Now knowing the manufacturer I was able to look it up online. They want a ton of money for them here, and the shipping is really high. Would cost me about $150 USD to get one.

Many thanks Daryl my friend , I think it must of been put up for buy it now auction.... Not very long And I must of came across it luckily And hit the buy it now button . I have another two to them hiding somewhere I can't remember you know exactly what I mean my friend . The loose ones are in ok condition as I remember rightly . I will have to look the other two jeep's out now I was hoping someone from America/ Canada - Ammo members may have got back to me . And, Many thanks Daryl , That's a lot of money for a jeep ( But if it is New in the box ( I'm not sure if mines has ever been out of the box ) then it may probably be worth it. But I have no idea what price they were when they appeared on the shop shelves Or what year they appeared on the scene I'll speak to you soon my friend Daryl , Very kind regards , Allan

You can find a first strike vehicle or its “Big Bronc” predecessor on this side of the pond just as easily.

Very nice! I saw these “First Strike” vehicles in the late 90s, usually in JC Penney catalogs. American Plastic Toys is still around, focussing on inexpensive plastic toys. They used to be called Gay Toys. The First Strike vehicle is a rerelease of their 1970s “Big Bronc”, which was as you can see an all plastic knockoff of the Tonka Adventure Buggy. (Pic from eBay; not my vehicles) Definitely not as heavy to lug around!

Just sent you a message. I think the $150 was for a listing including both the first strike vehicle and the helicopter. You can find the Big Bronc as well; although they are often erroneously but understandably labeled as Tonkas.
