Walgreens has these, along with a fire and police set in trays, marked 6.99 each, buy 2 get 1 free. Not a bad little build, the biggest complaint I had was that I REALLY had to SQUEEZE some of the plates to get them to stay flush. Once I got them there, they seemed to stay okay. Nice little lot of extra figure weapons, and it makes a nice scale for Cap and Red Skull to battle around. btw, had to remove Cap's legs to get him down that far in the turret.
Nice little tank, any chance you can pick me up one? My CA figures could use a nice display like this

I had the old one and I just got the new one (this one you have) yesterday. It is a nice tank. My dad took my older one and made a striker out of it. It is really cool.

Bought one at TRU and also got the Russian tank . Got them to go with my GI JOE/LEGO figs for my flickr group(i'm not a brick bigot like some of the purists, if it's what i need i will buy it ).Most of the weapons are not to bad the only one i did't lik was the mag semiauto. i tend to us TLG figs instead of Halo troops(they look awesomly cool but i like the lego size better-sorry.The Sherman M4 is a grest tank but it needs a few extra blocks/plates in the back to reinforce the tank. I wished i had bought the police APC.
Just built the Sherman tank. Here are my following observations:
The instructions are a great improvement over the first Best Lock I tried a few years ago. Still could be a little clearer. I had to back up once and start over.
The bricks went together well but needed a firm pressure to get them flush. Once in place they held well. Got sore fingers from pressing hard.
The minfigs were okay but not as good as the LGF but very acceptable.
Agree that a few bricks would be nice to fill in the back.
Over all, I'd rate it 4 3/4 stars out of 5. Nice model. I'd recommend it especially at the price of $7.00.
It will look great as a flat car load.
May try to get a couple of more if I can shake the cash loose.
