    Nice find! Inflation and fluctuating exchange rates notwithstanding, you barely paid more for that than my brand new one cost back in the day (it was £30 in the UK)! And as some of the others already said, you've already got the most difficult part to find (Scamper's gun) in there - the missing antenna should be a relative doddle.

    Is it looked down on if it has plastic wheels? I would much rather prefer Plastic wheels over rubber ones with this piece being as old as it is and the disintegration of the rubber tires.

    Some people consider the rubber-wheel chrome thigh model a little more valuable... I personally like the rubber tires better, but a big consideration is also how bad the thigh stickers look compared to the chrome thighs.

    Congrats on the steal; I got mine for about the same price a few years back, but it wasn't as complete as yours. I still need to get Scamper's gun to complete it. :(

    It looks like you have the shoulder antenna. His right shoulder antenna pulls up out of the arm ( I can see it's there ) and the other one attaches. I can se it in the pic of accessories.
