I can't help but fantasize about buying two more, chopping the cockpit from one and the tail from the other and making that damn Cobra plane from the cartoon with the red cobra head in front. I ended up going to the Kendall WM with my wife around midnight last night... no joes. Last edited by heltskelt; 09-03-2011 at 08:03 PM.. |

I went to that one nearly 2 weeks ago and found 2 Stalkers, 1 Viper, 1 Trooper, and 1 Iron Grenadier...so they definitely have made their way to Pinellas already.

Yes, it was in the Transformers aisle towards the end. They have a small section for Joes. I guess you may have missed out on them.

It is glorious! I haven't started modding yet, but i wanna fit that console into the space gained by gutting the electronics and sound. So far, i've only painted the inside of the engines, some metal highlights and the chainlink on the door, and the black on the tail (like in the box). That red line across the wings makes it look pretty good, but i still haven't decided what to do with the remaining red stripe stickers. Those are the only stickers i've put so far.

I called when they opened, nothing. After you posted I went over there and still nothing. I asked and they said they didn't get any in their last shipment so not sure what happened there. Better luck next time I guess.

Thanks man. The fact that it us enormous makes it tough to paint. But whatever plastic they used does not take well to bring painted. I had to put a white primer down, then I put a gloss white coat. Then I laid the color down. The plastic was just sucking up the primer, that's why I laid the gloss white over it. Even after that I still had problems. I used the same paint brand the whole way thru but for some reason the light green was lifting. So I had to sand parts of it and repaint them. So if anyone is planning on painting one, be careful because they are a pain. Just have patience and prepare yourself for anything.
