So I broke my own rule of staying away from incomplete vehicles, because of how much more expensive they can get by piecing them together vs just buying them complete. I made an offer on a near complete Warthog (I’ve been dying to get one), because I only saw that 2 missiles were missing, and getting 2 missiles would have still made completing the vehicle reasonably priced. On closer inspection after the purchase, I noticed that all 4 wheels where the tank treads are are also missing, so sourcing all 4 wheels brought me up another $20. It’s really my fault for not looking closer at the photos, as even though the photos were not well lit, the seller obviously tried to show the underside of the vehicle. Despite the stickers being in the wrong place, the condition looks pretty good. All in all I will have paid about $109 to complete the Warthog (without Slaughter), so not a great deal, and certainly not the deal I thought I was getting (again, my fault), but I do love the vehicle so it is what it is.
Anyway, sorry for the rant, just had to air my frustration.
