Howdy, fellow tankers! So, I got up early one morning and scored my Conquest and my Rattler. I had never considered getting the Conquest, but seeing it in all it's beauty, I picked it up, too. (I had wanted two Rattlers). So I got home and cracked the X-30 and rolled it around my hands a bit. I saved the Rattler to savor the cracking. Hey, it's been 24 years since I got a chance to do it, I wasn't going to rush it. So, I went to crack into it this morning, and wondered why the right wing was all jacked up and looking...I don't know..upswept. and lo and behold, it's missing one of it's bomb clusters. I thought, great, after all this hunting and I get a Hasbro Quality Control Rattler. But then I figured I'd put it up here, maybe it's a one-in-a-million, battle-action, VHTF, missing one of it's frickin' bomb cluster type Rattlers.
So, whaddya say? Anybody else seen this?
I just want to crack the Rattler and play but not if it means shooting myself in the wallet. |

I'd also like to put my vote in the negative column regarding the new "sharpie" missiles. What, Wild Weasel's gonna tag up your collection?
Come on, Hasbro. You just can't resist, can you? | |

Is it floating around inside the box anywhere? I checked the 4 I have still sealed up and the one I opened did not seem to be that way. That edge of the box is very unprotected and I have seen some pretty smashed boxes out there, so who knows... | |

If they were in there, I'd post a pic of me dive-bombing Maulers and Sluggers. | |
