Oh yea all those parts are missing from the pics, the missile rack, purge valve, even the fuel trailer. Whats really strange is the guys says its his collection. Wouldn't he know what goes with what if he was a joe collector. What really sucks is the fantail railing is missing from the rear of the ship. Thats an expensive part. Destro on this board sold me one for $80 to replace a damaged one i have. You can have the damaged one if you need it when u get your flagg. It displays fine, just the middle tab is glued on.
The only parts i see u have to worry about are: Mast pieces Mast cap Fantail deck railing Purge valve fuel trailer missile rack I see the y clips sitting on the deck. I can't tell if the crane has its engine cover though. That flagg looks like its in good shape. Has good stickers and can't see any yellowing. Would get a repro "99" sticker for the deck. Thats just about it. |

Might be worth contacting the winning bidders of the other listings to see if they'll work something out with you on the parts that were mixed up. |

Seller just e-mailed my wife and I and wanted to back out of the auction. He couldn't say for sure if the Flagg was as complete as stated he kept coming up with more missing parts. He admitted he mixed in some of the parts with other lots and I think he realized the shipping was too little. At this point I probably will never buy another one because of the cost #1 and #2 jerks like this on ebay not telling the truth. If you are going to buy a Flagg make sure you know what you are getting ahold of. Sellers listing the Flagg as more complete then it actually is because they either don't realize the complexity of the animal or they are trying to pull a fast one over on poor unsuspecting collector. This is the second bad ebay experience I have had with GI Joe's. I am sick of it. Buyer beware on ebay.

Fight this as hard as you can. You're in the right, and the seller is a jackass. At the very least they will get banninated. A seller can't just decide they don't feel like selling you something anymore. You can even take them to small claims court if you're persistent enough. Never hurts to threaten such things with scum on eBay.

Not going to fight it because it is too expensive to argue over. Plus it was not as described and who knows what I would get. He had two of the Flaggs and was parting one to make another and then still was not realizing he was taking parts from both and selling them in other auctions. He really didn't get it. I am giving up on this venture till I can see one in person. He could've told me initially he was parting one to make another and been cordial enough to make sure he at least checked the part list as requested. Oh well I guess.

That sucks dude. Well you just have to look for one that has all the parts pictured. Or just wait until someone on the boards is selling one. Or you could try to get a cheap one missing parts and try to restore it. They always have parts lots for the flagg up on ebay.
