I recently bought a General and so far it's only missing like 3 or so parts...
I've searched on ebay and literally see no parts for the general. So is it really hard to find parts for the General? So I'm wondering just how hard it's gonna be plus how much it may cost me to get these parts [I am waiting on another package from the seller I got this from so I'm hoping the parts will be in there he said the General was missing parts. I got the Missiles and waiting on the Locust Helicopter Blade] But literally I can find scores of parts for other gi joe vehicles on ebay yet no General Parts. |

The door and that large yellow part that I'm missing [you can see in the picture]
I got the General for $40 so I think I got a good deal since it had all the missiles and the locust helicopter and all the guns. Only one broken rear wheel but that doesn't bother me since this thing sits on the floor and won't be rolling around. Still I am wondering just why there are no parts on ebay to find... It Just boggles my mind. |

I got the big white part with wheels only and I did a quick search just to see what parts even went to it and your right - there is next to none. CTGlinks must have just put up a bunch yesterday though - because now they show up...
I am thinking of cutting mine up and creating a custom base out it of and other misc parts I have... |

I bought one off ebay a month or so ago. The only part missing was 1 antenna & the only part available was 1 antenna, "buy it now" in the stores. So as soon as I won The General I bought the antenna.
Some vehicles are almost impossible to find & The General is one of them. Also The General is a bitch to search for because you get all kinds of generals, General Hawk, 12" General George Washington. That drove me crazy! |

Yeah, I get a crap ton of General Hawk listings when I search for the General.
That is really annoying for sure. |

it's not as common as I would have thought..
anyone have some metrics for production during this part of the joe run era? seems like they had scaled down qt's on the larger vehicles at this point, but I could be way off base. just my 2 cents.
