As for other, more recent pre-existing models, none really come to mind. Most of the InGen vehicles are unique, particularly the three times of offroaders (Scout, Command and Harasser, to use the designations from Lego Jurassic World). Built on Jeep Wrangler chassis, they'd require entirely new sculpts/tools, as would the two Hummers (the two door Snagger and the four door with the enclosed rear observation platform).Kooshmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347989401774857919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-89788678974403073352018-09-05T07:30:04.504-04:002018-09-05T07:30:04.504-04:00Where did you order yours from?Where did you order yours from?Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-2347940059992046322018-09-05T07:27:38.094-04:002018-09-05T07:27:38.094-04:00Huh.
