I looked on craigslist and I found a guy selling the both of these for $100 total. I called him up, went over to his house. There he had the U.S. Flagg and Defiant shuttle. Not 100% complete but dam close. Of course I took them, I mean come on a $100!!! Not many chances to get those with out paying big bucks... What would you have done?

I couldnt believe it myself. I told my wife "This is once in a life time chance" She freaked when she saw how big it is.

That is one hell of a haul for a great price no less. How much more do you think it'll cost to bring each one up to 100%?

Ive been looking on all kinds of sites. All the pieces are pretty pricey. It will definately be slow fix. But still good enough to set some 25th joes up for display

Now all you need to do is a little cleaning.

^Agreed. I hope you have as good of luck cleaning them as you did buying them. Cleaning old stuff is such a pain, and can be a long process. Congrats on the find dude.

Damn.. that is the deal of the century complete or not. Never thought about looking there for stuff. I have the defiant, just need the crawler part.. would be great if I could find one in the same shape as yours then i would just sell off the part I have now and keep the other half.

The same guy I got my Flagg anf Defiant for $100 also had 2 large boxes of vehicles. He wanted $120 for the 2 boxes and I was able to talk him down to $80 for the lot. Once again I cant believe it. Check it out

OK I took the Defiant Shuttle that I had and a box of over 20 vintage vehicles to a place called Vintage Stock. Some of you in the Mid-West might of herd of it. Anyway I take my defiant that I payed $50 for that was in less than desent shape and a box of vehicles that were mostly incomplete. I took all the good ones out. So I trade them striaght up for the Cobra TerrorDrome. I really wanted it and I could have cared less about the trade. Im totally Happy with it. What do you think?

I got a good deal like this about ten years ago. I saw a garage sale sign, randomly pulled in without any intent to go garage saling, and I found a near complete Terrordrome for $15, an 80% complete USS Flagg for $25, and a near complete Mobile Command Center for $10. I, of course, bought them all, though the Flagg was sold for about $100 (not as much as I wanted, but I guess it wasn't as popular back then) and the MCC went as part of a lot with a bunch of other vehicles I shouldn't have sold. Once I get the new Firebat, I'll have its missiles and be able to complete my Terrordrome after almost a decade, and for about $25 total!
