I know the feeling man. why not just tell me? i wish i had know earlier, it was sitting at $63 for with 1 minute to go. if i had known it was another MW'er, i would've just steered clear. no reason to break the pockets of a fellow member.

ewilen Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 By initiating discussion, he may be tipping you off, and he didn't know if you would cooperate. That's my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CID Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Actually the item is missing the top cover (Unless, it was excluded from the photo, but is included). Anyways, it is nice piece to own, especially since it is rare to find this item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jardann Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Is that kit really 1/100 scale? I've never seen one in person, but I always thought it was around 1/72 or 1/55 scale like the other bigger sized destroid toys. btw: haterist, I'm just giving you some friendly ribbing. God knows I've made some hella goofy typos before. Glad to see you can take it in a friendly manner. Many people here seem to be pretty crabby lately! (see several other recent threads) What's the general consensus on a good price for that set? I seem to remember seeing them go for well over $200 before a couple of years ago.

do not disturb Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 yup 1/100 scale it is. its the only other one outside of picking up a model(got no skills) or buying the crappy matchbox version that just sits there. these are articulated and i've been looking to score one for a while. i just missed the other one that was up and it only sold for $60+, no instructions but $60! the worst i've seen is $200 and i don't think it sold. i've seen some BINs for $130 or so, but i refuse to pay that much for this thing...its 1/100 scale for christ sake! so has anyone got sniped lately?

Hmmm, I didn't notice the top cover was missing, oh well, I still would have bid for it even if I did. Now I just need 2 more so I can display all 3 destroids at the same time Sorry for beating ya out Haterist.

ewilen Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Looks like we've got a couple of destroid hogs here. If you guys keep it up, I guess I'll have to get serious about plastic modeling. You know, the Matchbox/Exosquad ones (big approx. 1/60 and little 1/144) aren't all that bad, although yes, not very poseable. Anyway, I seem to recall someone posting a proposal to recast or otherwise reproduce the skeleton so that people don't have to buy three sets to have all three destroids.

EXO Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'm still down to have the recasts done if anyone else wants the skeleton... but you guys know that there's only enough for outer parts for 2 destroids in the kit right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The other thread mentions the possibility of casting the necessary parts to get three whole destroids. I'd be very much in favor of that if it's what it would take to pry those extra DCK's out of haterist and Gobotfool's grasp. And yes, I'd buy one just to be prepared when I got a kit of my own. (Gonna go over there to express my interest.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW you & I have the same collecting philosophy and share the same bidding technique Too bad for Haterist, I think I sniped him from a couple of auctions IIRC. I hope there's a window of hope for him. Snipping programs?! Never heard of seen one but I ussually wait for the last remaining seconds to put up my bid.

BTW, they're talking about a possiblity of recasting the endoskeleton and the extra parts you need to display all of them at once. you might want to check out the thread in the toy section and show your interest, thats if you're interested? i assume you got the left over parts from the other conversion kits, that means you can have 9 of them displayed......or you could sell me a set seeing as i don't have one yet. hint hint.
