Found this (LAST ONE!) at Walmart on Bethel Road in Dublin, Ohio (near Columbus). $29.95... The Tuttle Crossing one has them IN-STOCK, but told me point-blank they are NOT opening them for anyone! They plan to put them out in the next day or two (along with ALL the wave 2 figures AND 6" figures they ALSO have in stock, but wont open).

Comes in the normal box with pics of upcoming toys (nothing we haven't seen before). The inner box has NO TIES!!!! Just the Figurine and the Storm Charger in bags with directions.

The Figure: Mumm-ra is, as we feared, essentially a "Happy Meal Toy". No posability, and has button batteries inside his back. Even has the tab you pull out to "activate" him. He does NOT work on his own (*unless you touch his Thunder Lynx connection point with metal on his back). Only when in the Charger.

The Vehicle: This looks AMAZING! Dead on perfect, great paint and STURDY! The eyes on the top of the tank GLOW RED when Mumm-ra is inside. Looks GREAT in a dark room! Press the button to the right of the ****pit/face and the ****pit door closes automatically and the Charger REVS and ROLLS! It BOLTS fast (and runs off 3 AA batteries, not included)... Does not turn... Just in a straight line. And you must hit the button again to turn the engine off (*It does shut the engine off after about 30 seconds). Hit soft to turn off, hit until it CLICKS to open the cockpit again. Smaller than the Thundertank, just barely (almost the same if you remove the "bikes" from the Tank). Like I said STURDY! Cockpit door goes on GREAT (Unlike the Thundertank, LOL)!

The box has 3 pieces: Figurine, Tank and cockpit door. Easy to get going, and its actually kind of fun... Sorry my pics are so poor... Only had my old camera ready to go. Was just so excited to share...

NOTE: Despite the box saying SOUND, the ONLY sound is the actual motor moving... not an Effect.

Cool, thanks for sharing. Does the wave 1 Mumm-ra fit in there?

Wave 1 Mummy (decrepit form) DOES fit, but needs to be without CAPE to activate anything. Oddly, the Wave 1 4" Everliving Mumm-ra fits (without wings...DARN SCREWS) but does NOT activate as magnet is on the wings.

And... The battery on the figure WILL DRAIN if you leave him connected to the Thunder Lynx point... Store him OUT of the vehicle, or loose inside.

The Storm Charger looks great. I'm kind of tempted to get one to hang on the wall. Kinda makes me wish the Thundertank was screen-accurate color-wise, as the two tanks would look great facing off against each other.

i dont understand why they didnt pout a wall hanging hole on the bottom of it, its really needed and would almost make it like a playset.
