    Oops. Yeah sorry seems like Gigapower has random restock. I’m just looking for grassor metallic or chrome, not picky at this point.

    That's disappointing. I'll keep my preorder until they have it in hand and it's confirmed, but the only reason I'd preordered this was for the silver horns and, to a lesser degree, thighs.

    Oh well.

    Minor repaint on this guy. Painted his knees and gun silver. Plus added a green detail to the knee.

    Looks great. What paint did you use on the gun? You used an airbrush i'm assuming?

    I used a silver spay paint from the hardware store.

    I have a nearly full set of chrome gigapower except for grassor. I have the weathered version atm but now have the opportunity to buy a metallic with the silver thighs or a nib chrome but has paint chips on the red chest from the factory. What would you guys do?

    Send me the weathered one so it doesn't ruin the group line-up.

    in a similar boat (minus the buying opportunity) and considering if i can somehow paint something as close to chrome on the metallic version, but i can’t tell if the “chrome” spray paints will match. I’m doubtful, but not sure what else could be tried.if they are just small spots, the chips might not be noticeable if u tried that.

    i’d probably live with that easier than paying the aftermarket price on the chrome though. That’s a no-go.

    Keeping the weathered one too for my bot. Probably gonna delegate the chrome one to dino mode.

    Well I'd be paying aftermarket prices which would pain me to spend so much on a chrome that came with these paint chips on the red from the factory.

    definitely would want to keep everything in Chrome for sure so it looks uniformed (even with the chip) What’s the aftermarket price for this now?

    Love the chrome version but still pissed I couldn't get the silver horns, thighs, and gun along with the other flame effects from Gigapower. Messaged them but no damn response.

    Yeah the chrome versions pop, but I feel like I’ll be more bothered by the lack of silver thighs.
    My current mismatch of weathered, chrome and metallic doesn’t look too bad. The metallic version of Grassor is actually very shiny. The metallic Guttur on the other hand seems a bit dull.

    Current market value for the chrome seems wild, missed one for $275 recently but goes all the way up to $450.

    It’s just annoying that the QC issues seems to be more isolated to chrome grassor with the paint imperfections and tail breakages. 91DFADCA-28C2-48C4-A802-BB95BED182C1.jpeg

    (*Disclaimer: Not trying be a snarky jerk or anything;) )

    Just a thought for the folks who want the silver parts for their Chrome Grassor but ever thought about spray painting them yourself? Doesn't look difficult and probably 3-5 light coats should do the trick. I could've sworn somewhere in this thread someone did that and looked great.

    These guys take up so much space I'm going to have to rethink my display, I'm currently building another shelf. Thinking I might have to take them off my '85 shelf.
