Thousands of Vehicle Shells $1.00 Blow Out Sale @ Kokomo Toys

[sudelaya]

We are getting ready for the Summer and we are excited as can be for Joe Con. In celebration of this we are going all out. You got to try to make it to Kokomo Toys this weekend! We are going to be blowing stuff out the door! CHEAP!

This weekend only, starting May 10th through May 12th we are planning to blow out all the vintage vehicle shells from storage for only $1 each.

This is a customizers paradise. It don't matter what vehicle or what condition, it's all just a $1 each. From big stuff like Terror Drome shells all the way down to small vehicles like Ferrets. It has to go!

So come on over to Kokomo! Make the road trip journey and bring your friends. We will have everything under a tent outside the front of the shop and you can take your time looking at everything, drag it out and spread it across to get whatever you need. You will find that most vehicles are C-8 condition or below. Some are in better condition, but just didn't have enough parts to complete. There are seriously, thousands of shells to pick from.

As an extra bonus there is 4 large bins of junk parts and pieces that are good for customizers too. Every piece is $0.05 cents a piece, doesn't matter what it is.

This is just mean. Plain old mean. You big meanies.

I wish I could get there but I'd have to rent a car, drive 13 hours, plus pay gas and tolls. I'd have no $ for spending.

yeah they need to franchise out....need as many of these places as dollar stores/ross/tj max to compete with the dollar store joe offerings...i'd much rather shop here then there lol...but 1458 miles is not a fun round trip...

[Viper6]

PLEASE hook me up with a snow wolf, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

[ShadowNinja]

You think this is what they say or is it like that star wars fiasco?

[Captain Chunk]

Man I would love to come but that is a 10hr drive just to get there for me. The money in gas could probably buy complete ones and get it shipped here haha.

[punchitchewy80]

jebus thats gonna be a great day out shame i live in england...dammit! i would do some shady things for an extra phantom shell for a custom.

anyways sorry im new around here and pretty dam jealous right now.

woohoo 2nd post!

[sudelaya]

I want to make sure everyone understands. As stated in the original post:

"We will have everything under a tent outside the front of the shop and you can take your time looking at everything, drag it out and spread it across to get whatever you need. You will find that most vehicles are C-8 condition or below. "

So there is no confusion guys, please understand this is a customizers thing here. This is our stuff from storage. These are mostly all bare shells of things we couldn't get enough parts for (i.e. Stuns that we could never get flaggs for) and/or something that is discolored, has a crack, a broke foot peg, etc.. Same with with the parts bins I mentioned. You're not gonna find Flagg Fan Deck Rails or Terror Drome Gun Caps for $0.05. And if you do, it is because they have a flaw.

There was also no "star wars fiasco", people just tend not to read the entire posts/threads or misunderstand for some reason. I apologise if I'm not communicating clearly enough. If there is something more to this commet/situation, I am not aware of it.

I do understand people want good deals and these are rough times, but this is how I support my family of four. I do try the best I can to get the lowest prices and be as fair as possible, but at the same time able to have a decent life for my family. When I list new things on eBay I try my best price the lowest to whoever has the same item on eBay. Sometimes those can become out of date as more people get the item and list it on eBay. I try to keep up and lower the prices as the weeks go on, but something that is selling for $20 today and I put a BIN with 18.00, it is possible someone can come later on and put the same item up for $16.00. I do the best I can to keep up with that, but it is not always something I can stay on top of.

I try not to take it personally, but it is upsetting when I work hard to do my best here and there are people out there that don't take the time to communicate or understand things and instead start making assumptions.

If folks are wanting collector grade vehicles and parts they are all listed at our eBay store. Thanks for the support and business.

This sounds kind of awesome. I would LOVE to take my son out there to pick out some "big trucks" to play with. I just paid ten bucks for a stripped STUN for him at the local show a month ago, and he loves it. This would be a blast for him. A Tiger jeep? TWO Tiger jeeps? I can just see him now.

[Gideon75]

I have a major complaint concerning Kokomo Toys, and that complaint is this: You are not located in Texas....

That looked like a really outstanding deal you are having!

[cmderinchief]

I will be making a special appearance.

I get that alot, lol. I was suprised more people have not started up shops when we first stated then as time went on I look at my accounting book and can seen why, lol. It's a labor of love for sure. :-)

I can confirm there are in fact at least 5-6 stripped stuns for $1.00. :-)

[Robowang]

Man, and it's only 3 hours away from me! But it's this weekend, and I have to take care of my wife who just got out of the hospital. I suppose that's more important :)

But have fun, everyone. This sounds like an absolute BLAST. What a fun afternoon. Well, what a fun morning. I imagine by afternoon it'll be almost empty :)

[orezona]

It's probably a good thing I don't live close enough to go take advantage of this sale because my "to-do" list of customs would exponentially grow for sure.

Whatever is left over we will save for Coil Con 2012. Maybe you can make it to that. After Joe Con the stock pile will only grow as we update all our vintage stuff in the store and toss out various shells and upgrade.

[Slaymaker]

I am gonna try to make Coilcon...maybe I can score some stuff then. :D

[sudelaya]

We just finished setting up the tent. Everything is ready to go. Here is a sneak peek @ tomorrow's sale from our Facebook page.

Yes, those Terror Drome shells are $1.00! Store opens @ 12PM.

[Robowang]

Man, the fun that could be had with a $1.00 Terrordrome shell. That's really amazing.

[GI Joe Eternal]

Flight from DC to IN = $600. Hmmmmm. I wish.

Kokomo: you should extend your JoeCon contest prize to photography entries as well as dios.

Probably the same cost in gas, or I would go myself.

[Cdt Weasel]

I see quite a few posting from Virginia and DC. Maybe we need to band together and sponsor someone to go out there and pick up what we want.

[Captain Chunk]

I would drive it I just don't have the money for gas.

[Captain Chunk]

Its a 10 hour drive for me and that means I would have to leave at 2 am for me to get there by the time they open which is doable.

[Big IV]

If I were within commuting distance I would swing by and snag some of those Buzz Boar shells. Even incomplete they could be fun. I've been wanting to customize a few of those for a while now. A buck is a great start for custom fodder.

Thanks for sharing and letting those of us far away to dream a little.

[Copper21]

MI to IN road trip unobtainable?

In my world of limited funds, yes...


And DOC....Would LOVE a Terror Drome Shell for a buck if you go!!!!!!

[Autobot_Goldbug]

I will be making a special appearance.
Will you be in costume? :D

I could use a VAMP mk2 shell in good condition. Mine is cracked at the missile base. :(

[Gyre-Viper]

I saw 'weekend' and got excited. None of these days are on a weekend.
But damn cool sale !!!!!

[Jedi_Master_Ben]

Attention any 'Tankers that are able to attend this event:

I am in need of C-5 or lower condition USS Flagg parts. Mostly the interior stuff like the chairs, walls, computer concols, the pillar, and antennas (both the sqare and the tree pieces). Also a crane, fuel tanker, and tow vehicle. The parts can have broken tabs as I am building a custom USS Flagg, not trying to restore one (I am redesigning the deck and using plywood for it).

I would appriciate any help and will gladdly work out a trade or payment for your assistance.

Thanks

[sudelaya]

Let the sale begin!

[ShadowNinja]

was just there ! scored some awesome stuff. First time ever and love it will go back again. Prices were not bad. They had almost everything you could imagine there. I wasnt expecting to see so many damn 80-90s card moc not to mention its only a hour away from were I live. Gonna get some parts from them when I have more money. Better get to the sell before its over!

[Autobot_Goldbug]

Hey now! Saturday is the weekend! :-)


Getting ready to head outside to get the tent loaded up.

I heard it is raining Saturday.

[sudelaya]

It says a 30%, but the tent is pretty good cover. :-)

[Robowang]

So how did this go? Was it awesome? I see no reports! Did everything get bought?

[TK1945]

Why do you have to go and bring this back up? I'm still crying that I couldn't go. :(

[Robowang]

Because I'm curious! Also, if the stuff didn't sell, may he'll try again this summer :)

[TK1945]

Maybe. I need to try and find a way to go to Coil Con this year.

I am going to an Iron Maiden concert in Chicago (July 5th) and planning a stop at the store on the way home. Maybe he'll still have some left.

[sudelaya]

They picked it clean. Most of the good stuff is gone. Mostly pieces and parts of stuff left now. I'll break it back out at Coil Con or maybe sooner. We should be adding more stuff to it in the next few months.
