I went to bed the other night after having bid on this FANG that was ending at 4am not expecting to win the auction and woke up to three emails. A "you have been outbid" "you are the high bidder" and a "you won this item."
Someone retracted their bid and I got it for $12.00. It is missing missiles and the bomb, which I already have, but it arrived in far better condition than I was expecting. Especially since he literally threw it in the box with some bubble wrap. When it arrived I could hear it rolling around and was expecting it to be in pieces. To my surprise it was fine. The ball turret is tight. Nothing is broken off and although the engine cover is cracked it is in place and tight. A simple clean up of the item and better pics and I think the guy would have done much better. Also he had the auction ending at 6am his time too. That didn't help. I've been wanting a FANG for a while to restore, mine disintegrated after years of living in a box and finally got one I am happy with. $35 for a FANG with the engine cover wasn't going to happen for me.

Nice. Most people can not pack! Even the stores shipping departments suck at it.

Awesome. I finally got a complete FANG in the mail as well, just the other day. Sure it has a cracked red roll bar, but it seems it's difficult to find an intact piece. The Fang came in a lot with a complete working original MOBAT, and a complete polar battle bear, both of which I did not already own.

Love FANGS, but dude if you haven't looked into them the 25th ones are choice! A nice loose incomplete 25th one is great for play and kicking around, the plastic is improved some.

The FANG is awesome! I got my first one last year and I totally love it. It's a great little vehicle for mobilizing the Cobra legions!

I have a few with broken rotors and engine roll bars, but have a few missiles and maybe me bomb if anyone is looking.
I also have the 25th and am happy with that version.

The FANG was my first Cobra vehicle as a kid. Still an awesome piece, and nice to find one intact. Enjoy!
