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.

Love it.
Style: Ink
I love my epson workforce printer. I used to be a Canon person but once I got this printer. It changed my mind. So the ink is worth it. Especially in the bundle package. It may be a bit on the pricey side but it last me awhile. At least, in my opinion, it’s less expensive than buying them separately. Epson makes great stuff and glad I chose to stick with them. The ink is very good and looks great after it prints. Thanks to Epson for functionality, cost and efficiency when it comes you your products.

Epson Ink for the win

Love my epson printer and that I can order the ink just about anywhere. Ink is of good quality and depending on the amount you print, it seems to last a decent amount of time.

It's ink and it works.
Style: Ink
It's ink and it works. My Epson printer is VERY finicky and only wants name-brand ink. This is it. A little pricey but they all are.

Well performing ink for my particular printer
Style: Ink
These inks work well, and are easy to install. They do not last long. They follow the current apparent marketing scheme of offering a a very good printer at a very favorable price, but charging relatively high prices for the ink. I understand that people need to make a profit somewhere.

Title: Solid, Reliable Ink – No Frills, No Surprises (4 ★)
Style: Ink
The Bottom Line The Epson 822 DURABrite Ultra Ink Standard‑Capacity Black & Color Cartridge Combo Pack (T822120‑BCS) does exactly what it promises: it prints clean, sharp pages on the WorkForce Pro WF‑3820/3823/4820/4830/4833/4834 series with no hiccups. It isn’t a game‑changing breakthrough, but it’s dependable enough that you can toss it in your cart, try it out, and feel confident you won’t be left with a printer jam or faded text. Why I Gave It Four Stars Aspect Verdict Comments Performance ★★★★★ Prints consistently on both black and color pages. Colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and there are no streaks or banding. Compatibility ★★★★★ Works flawlessly with all the WorkForce Pro models listed on the box. No driver updates or firmware tricks needed.Value ★★★★☆ Standard‑capacity cartridges are a bit pricier than high‑yield options, but you get the expected page yields (≈ 2,000 B / 1,800 C / M / Y). Packaging & Arrival ★★★★★ Packaged securely, the “OME” seal was intact, and the cartridges arrived ready to install. Innovation ★★☆☆☆ Nothing revolutionary – just solid, reliable ink. If you’re looking for a “wow” factor, this isn’t it. Return Policy ★★★★★ Amazon’s 30‑day liberal return policy makes the purchase low‑risk; you can always send it back if it doesn’t meet your expectations. Overall, the combo earns a four‑star rating because it meets every functional requirement without any drama, but it also doesn’t exceed expectations enough to merit a perfect score. What I Actually Did Unboxed the combo and confirmed the “OME” seal was intact – a quick visual check that the cartridges weren’t tampered with. Installed the black cartridge first, then the four color cartridges, following the printer’s on‑screen prompts. Ran a printer self‑test and printed a few typical office documents (reports, spreadsheets, a color flyer). Checked the print quality side‑by‑side with my old OEM cartridges. The results were virtually identical – no ghosting, no color shifts. Pros Plug‑and‑play: No quirks, no firmware hacks. Consistent quality: Straight‑forward, vibrant colors and clean blacks. Reliable supply: Works across the entire WorkForce Pro lineup mentioned. Risk‑free purchase: Amazon’s 30‑day return window lets you test without commitment. Cons Standard capacity only: If you print heavily, the higher‑yield (XL) versions would be more economical. No “wow” factor: It’s a solid, work‑horse cartridge, not a revolutionary ink formula. Price: Slightly higher than some off‑brand alternatives, though you pay for brand reliability. Who Should Consider This Home‑office users who need dependable daily printing without fuss. Small businesses that run a mix of black‑and‑white documents and occasional color marketing pieces. Anyone who values a hassle‑free experience and appreciates a generous return policy as a safety net. If you’re hunting for an ink set that will wow you with cutting‑edge technology, look elsewhere. If you just want a cartridge that does its job, lasts as expected, and won’t surprise you with printer errors, the Epson 822 DURABrite Ultra combo is a safe bet. Bottom line: It’s a reliable, as‑described product that earns my respect, just not my awe. Four stars—good enough to recommend, but not enough to call it a breakthrough.
