Some miscellaneous stuff joined my collection as well in the last couple weeks.
I got Mattel's JW T-Rex with roaring action which is pretty close to 1/18 scale. If you assume it's not a fully grown one, it's spot on! With a length of about 60 cm, this one would be 10.8 meters long. The to date most complete specimen found of T-Rex is 12.3 meters long.
I'm not an expert on Mattel's toy line, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like we got a T-Rex in 1/24, 1/18 and 1/12 scale in the Jurassic World toy line.
And it looks like Indy found a living fossil for 20€ shipped:
WORLD PEACEKEEPERSM&C Toy Centre Ltd. impress me with the first products I got from them.
Here's the link to their official website:

I found this set as the only item listed on ebay Kleinanzeigen under "World Peacekeepers". The seller listed his other sets under "Military Toys". I'm quite sure I wouldn't have been so lucky if he made a more precise description for the headline - especially the Black Hawk is highly sought after...
All 4 sets I got from him are used, played with and not complete anymore. Still they came with
loads of accessories...but that's not the only reason why I'm so impressed!
This FAV is used, but came in excellent condition! I got it to repaint & weather it and use it to make a diorama of Jurassic World - The Lost World.
I've been wanting/looking for a 1/18 scale tank for quite a while now. My biggest dream still is a Bradley, which I once saw in a Toys "R" Us store and TARGET in NY state.
I'm glad I finally found one and I like its generic design. The body looks like a Russian T-72 whereas the turret could be from a German Leopard, a French LECLERC or an American Abrams. In comparison Hasbro's tanks look rather small...with a body of 40 cm length and a total length of 53 cm, the World Peacekeepers tank is indeed in 1/18 scale. Unfortunately, the Imperial Assault and Republic Fighter Tank are rather in 1/24 scale.
With a price tag of $29.99, three figures and loads of accessories this set just blows me away! Plus it comes with working curb chains!

Whenever I see this Boeing (Hughes) AH-6/MH-6 I get heavy Call of Duty vibes. So therefore I was extremely thrilled when I saw this set in very good condition for under 20€.

Back in 2007 I found this set at Woolworth with a regular price tag of 19.99€. My monthly pocket money was 20€ back then, so I had to make a choice. I regret to not have bought one of the two Black Hawks they had on shelves. In 2006 Walmart left Germany and Woolworth took their business space. Until today they run the business, but their toy section is close to zero by now.
So I'm glad I finally found one used 13 years later.

I'm also impressed by the quality of this print. Black on black and this was only 19.99€ at Woolworth back in 2007.
In comparison to the Republic Gunship, the Black Hawk looks more to scale. With a total length of 70 cm including rotors. The hull itself is 60 cm, which is the total length if the LAAT/i (hull is 50 cm).
So again, Hasbro scaled down most vehicles for their Star Wars line so that they're rather 1/24 scale than 1/18 scale. That's another reason why I hope one of the next HasLab projects will be an all-new true 1/18 scale LAAT/i...
