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.

This is Willow The Dog’s favorite toy!
There is not much that needs to be said about this, frankly, amazing dog toy find. After about 6 months, Willow absolutely loves this seemingly indestructible, soft stick toy. She was born a stick dog and has always enjoyed fetch with tree limbs, balls, frisbees…And like most dogs, loves tug-o-war and chewing. I thought I was buying a <$4 toy stick that I expected my girl would destroy fairly readily. What I actually received was something that didn’t really match the description because it had MORE features and uses than I expected. Anyway, the short of it is in the video. What she loves: Fetching: I don’t know how dogs see colors, but I can confirm that my dog finds this toy highly visible day and night. This claim is based on my observations of how she retrieves this toy compared to real sticks, yellow and blue tennis balls, a large real bone, and rope toys both night and day, as I work late, so much of my one on one time with our pup happens around midnight to 1am with no outdoor lighting so we don’t disturb sleeping neighbors as much. Additionally, I find this toy highly visible in all conditions, which would make finding it in the grass after Willow is worn out and goes inside easier, except that she loves the toy so much that she always brings it in with her. Tug-o-war: Being a soft, ultra-durable material, this toy eagerly pulls double duty as a tugging toy. Dog teeth sink into the orange material by compressing it. They do not puncture the orange part, or at least not that I’ve noticed while casually examining it, making this toy last indefinitely, so far as I can tell. The size of the stick is roughly an inch in diameter and maybe ≈14-16” long, so it is, I think, a perfect size for my medium sized Australian Shepherd’s mouth. She can grip it solidly in her back teeth, side teeth, front teeth, and even if she has only two or three teeth in just a corner, she can always get a good, comfortable grip. No sharp, jagged edges of frayed plastic to abrade or irritate the inside of Willow’s mouth, gums, or cheeks and no orange material breaks off and gets swallowed. The blue material is somewhat more rigid, like a plastic, BUT is still fairly soft and while it does show some bite marks, it is still quite durable and is, I will estimate, at least 95% intact after about 6 months of average three or four 15-20 minute sessions each week. Additionally, the size happens to be perfect for my large hands, but also feels like it is appropriately sized to be easily manageable by most people. This toy is VERY flexible and gives both Willow and I excellent maneuverability and pulling left to right and up and down and back and forth and to and fro as violently and aggressively as we can manage with out the rigidity of other objects shifting uncomfortably in her mouth or my hand. The stick is long enough to accommodate both my large hand and her mouth, even both of my hands on either end with her biting in the middle. Chewing: This not Willow’s favorite chew toy, but to be fair, it isn’t really marketed as a chew toy, so I feel the degree to which it fulfills that function is “good”, which I consider to just be an added bonus feature AND an extremely good value for the money. Anyway, she brings it inside when we are done playing outside and chews on it occasionally, apparently when she wants a break from her seemingly endless and evidently boring selection of toys, enrichment gadgets, kids, neighboring dogs, and family cats. Summary: At $4, even if your dog picks it up and walks on her or his hind legs to dispose of it immediately upon presenting it to them, it will be worth it just to see that, but if your dog loves it as much as mine, you might, like me, be so pleased with it's contribution to your dog’s life, you may start doubting your sanity when the strangest thought creeps into your head as you actually consider “refunding the seller” by sending them an additional $3.94 because they absolutely deserve to be paid more for this wonderful toy. Enjoy!

Perfect Toy
My dog loves this ! It is very sturdy, very strong, but flexible. It feels soft, but seems chew proof, even for my 100 pound Cane Corso. The stick shape is more practical than a ball; it doesn't roll off or get lost under furniture.

Good toy, strong yet soft!
This was one of my best toy purchases for our GSD! He’s a rough playing dog with a hard mouth! Toy destroyer! This he loves to fetch, tug, carry, and chew on. I never really expected it to last when I got it. Surprise! Almost two months of rigorous daily play and it’s still almost like new!

Great cost effective chew toy for an aggressive chewer
Bought multiple. Still have a few in the package because the others are still going strong. Nice heft to throw them a good distance, durable enough for a heeler that is a very aggressive chewer to not destroy them after a month, and easy to see when they leave them in the grass. Good size, Good weight, Excellent durability, and keeps their attention longer than a actual stick.

Fun toy for dogs
Great toy for my dog. She loves when we throw it in the backyard for her and so far she hasn’t chewed it apart and she’s a big chewer. It’s bouncy too which makes it even more fun to chase. Great toy for the price
