Defend your planet! O Gauge War of the Worlds

First those rascally Martians came for our cows. Next they raided our supply of tasty M&Ms treats. Now, though, they’ve gone too far! They are prowling around the Army base, snatching our Jeep’s! Heed the bugle call and protect our vehicles from these interplanetary hoodlums!

The basics: The Army vs. UFO scene is a fully assembled and decorated 18 x 11-1/4 x 7-1/2 diorama with an illuminated flying saucer equipped with a clamp for raising and lowering a Jeep; soldiers, aliens, military equipment, and a moving tank with flashing cannon, machine guns, and sound effects.

Sound effects are triggered with a push button on a two-foot lead. The accessory has a topside power plug-in on the gravel hill, and a second in the base for a connection from beneath the tabletop.

This is designed for the Menards Plug & Play power system (sold separately) for operation. Check Menards nos. 279-4061, 279-4062, or 279-4050. You may wish to consider the 8- or 9-piece Plug & Play accessory kits (SKU# 279-4035, 4681) and to serve multiple structures and vehicles. All are available separately.

Why you need this: This is a whimsical operating accessory suggesting the Martians may have landed at the wrong place and the wrong time: A U.S. Army base. Clearly the Army was on maneuvers when the Martian Expeditionary Force decided to grab the General’s trusty Jeep!

The saucer itself is a classic oval with a large, clear canopy. The pilot has superb visibility from the flight deck. The pilot rests in a command chair while control panel lights glimmer. An eerie green light envelopes the deck, hinting at the craft’s sinister intent. Pulsating green and white lights flash brightly around the saucer’s middle.

Having sighted a likely vehicle to snag for the Martian high command, the vehicle is hoisted upward. However, the local G.I.s have something to say about interplanetary Jeep-jacking!

With one Jeep already damaged, five troopers try to contain the situation. The weird lights of the spaceship don’t intimidate the soldiers! Fuel drums are positioned, a supply crate is on hand with extra gear. There are even 18 cannon shells stacked up and ready for use! Zero hour finally arrives! Earth stands up to the Martian menace at last!

Up the hill comes something big: a great equalizer - a tank! With a press of a button you hear the cry "Fire!’ Tank firing is triggered through a button with a two-foot wire lead. The cannon barrel flashes, and green machine gun lights flicker! The tank then backs down to avoid return fire. Slowly it moves up once more to challenge alien vehicle thieves!

The terrain includes soldiers dug into defensive positions, and ever safety conscious, they posted warning signs alerting the unwary that they were entering a battle zone! Fear not, Jack the German shepherd is on the scene, looking into what all the commotion is about!

This accessory is a great companion to our full line of military-themed rolling stock.

SAVE YOUR MONEY, THESE ARE UTTER GARBAGE UNLESS YOUR DOG HAS NO TEETH (MAYBE)!!
Size: Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
For all those purchasers who are posting videos of these toys while talking about how great they are and how long they have lasted at your house, would you mind disclosing the breed and age of your dog(s) that play with them? I only ask because I am finding these "positive" reviews REALLY hard to believe now that I have firsthand knowledge that, as a chew toy, this thing completely sucks. Based upon personal experience and the physical and photographic evidence, your dog might be an OBSESSIVE chewer, but they are most assuredly NOT a "power" chewer. If they were, you would almost certainly be posting reviews saying that this toy is utter crap, just like I'm having to do now. After many years of experience using Kong brand toys, the idea that this toy is the "most durable" Kong toy is just ridiculous, and blatant false advertising in my opinion. It took three of my dogs (a 5 year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix (2nd pic) I'm fostering and two one year old border collie puppies) all of five minutes to completely shred FOUR of these toys straight out of the delivery box. I was the proud owner of four of these things for all of five frickin' minutes out of the box. Meanwhile, it previously took the Boxer/Pit almost two years to destroy two medium-sized Kong "snowman" shaped toys, and even then he wasn't able to shred them anywhere near to this degree. And believe me, he actually *IS* a true "power" chewer, as after raising and training dogs for over 50 years, I have never seen a dog completely break that type of Kong chew toy. As an aside, Kong (the company) appears to take crappy product claims only by means of printed hard copy sent via the U.S mail, so no immediate relief for your wasted expenditure on their products will soon be forthcoming. How many modern companies do you know of that don't allow some sort of online contact for product claims, even if it's just an email address? So I might very well have to reconsider whose products I am willing to spend my all-too hard earned money on. That said, those three dogs are all now outside throwing up chunks of these crappy toys that they swallowed while tearing them to pieces, and which I now find myself hoping really are non-toxic!! The regular "snowman" shaped Kong toys are MUCH more durable than these things are. Had I known that beforehand, I would have spent my money accordingly. The picture I posted is the last remaining toy out of the four I ordered, and I most certainly want my money back (wish me luck)!! This toy is a complete WASTE of your money for any dog that is bigger than an aged chihuahua or that actually has teeth, so I suggest that you DO NOT purchase.

The same magic as the extreme chewer Kong cone!
Size: Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My lab hound mix LOVES this tire as much as he loves his extreme chewer Kong cones (we bought three of those!). He hasn't been able to cause any damage at all in the week or so that he's had it. We are always excited to find toys that he can't break! We're ordering a second tire for upstairs!

INDESTRUCTIBLE!
Our lab chews through every “indestructible” toy within a few hours. This ball is amazing! He has not been able to destroy this toy! Highly recommend for your most aggressive chewer!

Our dog is very happy with this ball!
Our lab is an aggressive chewer and LOVES his toys. I was looking for a chew toy that had a different shape than a regular ball or Kong and saw this. Our dog LOVES this toy because he can chew it when he wants to be alone and it keeps him entertained (especially when stuffed with food). He also plays "catch" with us by rolling the ball toward us with his nose. So far there is no indication that he is damaging it so I'm very pleased with the durability.

Bouncy and firm
Lasted a day so far! I'm hopeful it'll last at least a week. Light enough to bounce compared to her Kong ball.
