    I have two versions of Landmine, and the best I can tell is that one of them must be the Hasbro Version, and one of them is the Takara/Japan version.

    The pictures online, at least to my old eyes, make it very difficult to tell apart. Generally the Takara versions have a much higher quality paint job, yet on this one they look night identical save for a slightly darker color on one of them.

    I believe the darker version is the Takara version. Does anyone have both of them, or can verify the difference for me?

    Sadly, both of them put the American flag on backwards. Boo!!!

    Appreciate the help!

    According to tfwiki, the Takara one has rubber tires. From the 1st pic it looks like that's the darker one on the left.

    You’re right! The one on the left has rubber tires. Didn’t think to test them. Thank you!

    Thanks! Very interesting. They have the flags facing the other direction on the other side of the vehicles
