Yesterday I scored my second Terror Drome!!
I scored my first one back in September of 2010.
Here is the thread I made for that one...
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-toys-modern-general-discussion/87083-i-scored-terror-drome-40-a.html
That one was very dirty, dusty, and yellowed. It also had many broken and missing parts.
The second one I just scored is in much better condition and was only missing the following parts...
3 Large Gun Barrel Caps
1 Small Door Gun
1 Small Door Gun Barrel Cap
1 Door Strut
1 Gun Seat
1 Seat Platform
1 Right Gun Door
3 Lower Bay Doors
1 Firebat Bomb
Here is a list of damaged parts which need to be replaced...
2 Gun Seats
1 Filler Panel
2 Firebat Belly Guns (the tabs seem broken and or worn because they won't stay in place)
It was also missing the box, instructions, and A.V.A.C. & his parachute as well, but I don't consider those things needed to be complete, plus I already had two A.V.A.C. figures with their parachutes anyway.
As for the Terror Drome itself it's much cleaner and nicer than the other one I had, plus it is not really discolored in any way. The only major problem that I have with it is that a small part of the Upper Deck was melted a bit around the siloh going towards one of the Filler Pannels. That Filler Pannel was melted a bit as well. I might attempt to sand those areas down, but I not sure what type of sand paper I should use or the grit number.
I decided to "borrow" some parts from the first Terror Drome I had. Those parts are as follows...
1 Small Door Gun
2 Gun Seats
1 Seat Platform
1 Right Gun Door
3 Lower Bay Doors
1 Filler Pannel
The gray/white "replacement" parts from that first Terror Drome don't exacty match the ones on my second Terror Drome though due to slight yellowing. I might try using peroxide, but I only have the 3% kind you can pick up at any drugstore. I'm not sure if that will do the trick or not. As far as the 30% or more concentration goes I'm not sure how much they sell it for at the salon shops. If it's too expensive I might as well just buy better replacements for the yellowing parts I have.
After "borrowing" the parts from the first Terror Drome I think the only parts I'm missing to complete this thing now are as follows...
3 Large Gun Barrel Caps
1 Small Door Gun Barrel Cap
1 Door Strut
1 Gun Seat
1 Firebat Bomb
2 Firebat Belly Guns
If anyone can help me out with these parts please let me know.
By the way I want to get rid of the first Terror Drome which is pretty much a shell now. How much do you think I should ask for it? I would like to try to sell it to someone local so that I don't have to pack the thing up. It's really not worth someone having to pay for shipping anyway.
