    Recent reissues have had a listing price a bit higher than the original release. Getting him for $130 now may not be much more than the price of a reissue.

    What scale are these birds? Might have better luck at a online model shop.


    EDIT: Oh and the email was sent.

    Dont know, it may be, but its all pins in this area and no screws i can see to get at it easily. (Im assuming your thinking about removing a hand for painting like someone else i answered a few pages back)

    I think you'd have to remove the pin at the 'wrist'. It looks like it's held in place by the panel that opens on the forearm

    Cheers fellas. Seems like he was designed specifically not to swap hands, which is a shame.

    I love the placement of the auto bot symbol, but think I may put a symbol on part of bumper that folds away into knees so I don!t have to use the parts forming piece.

    Same. First time working with him. Let's see how long this package takes to get through San Francisco.

    Judging from Hunk, it will only take one week for the package to reach SF, but it will be another two weeks before the package is delivered :( .

    Oh well, it is what it is.

    Yeah, but I ended up paying a total of 94 at Baba's. 4 dollars savings for a little bit of inconvenience is ok in my book.

    AND SO IT BEGINS!

    Actually I DID get mine. But it was in Spam. Rightfully so, somewhat; since not gonna lie, Baba's invoices kinda do look like spam emails visually. :lol
