As long as this topic is here...
There are a few things in Toys'R'Us's "True Heroes" series I'm looking at, wondering if they're worth their price tag.
Maybe someone here has them and can tell me how they stack up:

Military Attack Vehicle & ATV (25$ Canadian/20$ US + sales tax) - vehicle looks neat enough on its own, standing wheels and cannon mode looks like a fun bonus, ATV doesn't look half bad... wondering mainly about the toy's durability, and if the chainguns can be attached to the vehicle. A little bonus is that I've got use for the head of one of the included figures for a custom. Downside is, price tag is a bit high...

Chap Mei Oil Bunker & Jeep playset (17$ Canadian/14$ US + sales tax) - I have NO interested in the bunker. All I want is the jeep. Can't decide if it's worth that pretty big price tag though.

Chap Mei "Navy SEAL Boat" (40$ Canadian/32$ US + sales tax) - Price tag is a bit more reasonable than the other two given its size and it being good quality (after all, it's Chap Mei). It's also pretty much my only alternative to a Moray hydrofoil (that thing is simply too brittle to survive my storage, if the stories I heard are true). Downside is... it's really big. Not sure I have sufficient storage space for it.

So yeah. Anyone who's gotten these or had the opportunity to play with them, I'd love to hear your thoughts on them so I can decide if they're worth plopping down the money for them.
