I recently managed to buy a mostly-intact transforming 1985 Matchbox SDF-1 on ebay.

For the most part, other than yellowing of the white plastic, the toy is in pretty good condition.

I would like to find some parts though to fix it up. (see attached reference pic at end of this post). I may add on to my wants list after it finally arrives (other than the boom tips, its a bit hard to see how off-white the body/bridge area has gotten).

1985 Matchbox SDF-1 parts wanted:

- at least one of the four "long shoulder guns" (these typically are broken on used SDF's). If you have more than one, great, I may be willing to buy the others so that I have spares.

- an unused sticker/decal sheet (or a good scan of it)

- the white forward parts of the main gun (each has two tiny little pointy bits. I would like them intact.) OR if you can't remove those parts (or don't know how) then I can just as easily buy the whole boom.

- the "front wheels door cover" (underside of main body).

PRICING

I've no idea if there is an existing guide for prices on the parts or not.

I figure the more rare the part, the more you could probably ask for it. I'm hoping though to find the parts cheap.

I would be using paypal to pay for the parts.

SHIPPING

Obviously I'd be paying to cover shipping. I'm in Canada. Given the small size of the parts, you can probably bubble-wrap them into a small box (like an empty matchbox or bandages box or something) and then mail it in a bubble-wrap envelope (which you can buy at most dollar-stores and most post offices, usually for under $3.00 USD)
