My Craigslist Score - MIB USS Flagg
WOOHOO....$600 cash and a 230 mile round trip and I can finally join this thread... Scored a MIB off of Craigslist today. Slight water damage to the box so I'm not going to feel the least bit guilty when I open it up and put it together. |

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be able to post in this thread but on Friday I found my holy grail. A very nice piece that I found on Craigslist for a very fair price and missing only minor pieces. I probably won't bother going for 100% but I may pick up a few pieces if I can find them cheap.
+1 !!!! Missing pieces: Anchor (broken) Missile Antenna x2 Gun Barrel x1 Fantail Deck Railing Elevator base Admiral's Launch EC Antenna Fuel Trailer Hose Bomb and Missile rack (armory) Keel Haul and pistol Everything else is there including a working microphone. It also only came with one deck clip. I could not be happier with my purchase. As I said I'd never thought I'd actually own one. I'll post some pics when I get the chance. |

Sometimes I miss my Flagg. I haven't seen it in about 25 years or so...It's still at my parents house...I have two sons and I'm sure they'd love to have it...Maybe...Nice score dude.

Thanks man. You know I have a younger brother that's 8 and he's been playing with it all day. So far we've managed 8 various Joe and Cobra aircraft on it at once. You should dig it out and let your sons have a go. I can't wait for the SkyStrikers to be released so I can throw one or two on there.

+1 as of 2 months ago- Got it for 350 bucks, and even got to make payments on it. Few things broken here and there, and I just now noticed my cats knocked the crane over- but I honestly don't care. It's a Freakin' Flagg.

My cat broke mine too, years ago...I believe the tab that holds the elevator on. I glued it and it worked ok I guess, I don;'t really remember. I know a few deck clips are broken. Those things are bitches...

Bought my 3rd FLAGG yesterday
Back in 1985 I got the FLAGG for xmas, gave all my joes to a kid I knew in 1994 when I left my parent's home, including the FLAGG. Around 2002, I bought a 99% complete FLAGG, a skystriker and a couple of other things, from Legends for 90$, sold it a couple of month later to a fellow collector, because of space problems and pressure from my ex-girlfriend. ;-) Today I went to Legends to buy the FLAGG they acquired a couple of week earlier from I don't know who, a Joe/SW collector from montreal I think. This one I'll keep... just a story I wanted to share |

I used to have 2 Flaggs, I got one at a flea market for $55 but it was missing pieces. My second Flagg I got 100% complete with the box and inner boxes for $300 off of Craigslist, I ended up selling the first one which paid for both with a little bit of extra money left over.

I just got my Flagg and I am working on completing it. I need the Armory Rack, some hose for the fuel truck and the arrestor cable assembly. If any of you need parts, take a look at Alyosha's parts that he has cast. I purchased several parts that I needed from him. Outstanding!
